Soun clip would be great to hear,I'd like to know how it's going to sound compared to the flowmaster and other exhaust setups on our cars. Are you going to upgrade the pipe size to 2 and a half also?

LoboMan7409 · 10-03-2006, 10:13 PM

So are you gonna get a high flow cat too?

Rizzo22 · 10-03-2006, 11:24 PM

Thats the exhaust i have and just so happens i took another vid clip of how it sounds after i changed oil and cleaned my K&N filter. The actual MOV. file sounds better than this so if you want it contact me on AIM

Nope stock manifolds and stock piping minus the resonator.

IMO i would have deffinatly gone with different tips. i think it looks terrible when there is only a one pipe tip on each side. there is way too much gap especially with a GT.

but to each his own

yea i agree, i think one tip like that looks stupid.

As far as exhaust goes, why the FOCK do the cars have the rev limiter at 4,000 rmps? that is so retarted, and it makes me mad when I try to rev the engine up b/c we can't hear the exhaust as it is suppose to be. I mean, I know it's to prevent n00bs from blowing the engine, but at bare minimal I think 6,000 would be waaaaaaaay better.

The engine doesnt even rev up to 6k when at WOT so why would they let you do so while sitting in park?

If its that big of a deal, put it in neutral, you can go above 4k that way... atleast my car will.

well, first of all, I got my exhaust installed today... and I do have to say it looks pretty sweet. It looks like a nissan 350Z in the back kind of if you know what I mean. I havn't really heard it like driving outside of the car but it has a nice drone up till about 2500 RPMs when driving then you can still hear it after that. I think it looks really nice added a little power i think and maybe/prolly torque. anyone else agree? or no? also it sounds pretty sweet alhough you can't get the full feel or sound while in park as you can driving. but it adds a nice rumble. oh and no I got the 2.5 " inlet muffler... but I havn't installed 2.5 " piping all the way through. I will prolly do that a little down the road though. I like it so far though. how do you get a sound clip? or put a video clip on here?

killians31 · 10-04-2006, 11:35 PM

once you get 2.5 in pipe all the way through youll hear a hell of a difference. a hi-flow cat or test pipe should help a little too.

chosen_one · 10-05-2006, 09:07 PM

does 2.5 " really make that much of a difference?

killians31 · 10-05-2006, 10:55 PM

yes. do you still have the resanator on? if you do, then it is going to sound like **** untill you take it off. it will be like night and day once its off.

chosen_one · 10-08-2006, 09:40 PM

no i don't. i have it off

notsoaveragej0e · 10-08-2006, 10:51 PM

Do you have a CAI? If not, definitely get one now that the exhaust is opened up a little.

5-lO · 10-09-2006, 12:54 AM

Pictures ?
