Good looking out Grizld700! yeah I remember reading about that somewhere. Here in New mexico it gets pretty hot.. I'll take it off when it starts warming up a little bit more.

This weekend i had some fun with some plasti dip

 

Mmmm Dos Equis. Sounds pretty good, with a Lime. Yeah, good stuff.

Oh! And looks good! From what I can tell it looks like you did the Belt line, Headlight rings, Grille, Emblem, Scuttle, Handles, Fuel Cap, Wheels, Wheel Arch lights? Maybe all the black trim with the Arches? Looks Good!

 

haha! you hit the nail on the head. That was the list

I see you got that WMW catless downpipe.. how are you liking that with your exhaust? it it too loud? does it drone bad in hwy speeds??
That was one of the items on my list...

 

I do like the downpipe. It is loud over 3k, but I like that. I actually took it off over winter because I wanted to see what my car felt and sounded like when its mostly stock. I miss the downpipe, so I am going to ceramic coat it and reinstall it next month. There is a fair amount of drone too. Mostly pronounced over 70mph. But that could be a combo between the down pipe and my NM exhaust. The NM exhaust's resonator is pretty small so I'm sure thats also a contributing factor in the DB level.

The only thing that bugs me with the WayMotorWorks catless downpipe is on the turbo end there is an odd lip. You have the mounting piece that connects to the turbo outlet and then the one piece pipe is welded to that mounting piece. Now maybe I got an odd one, or they're all like this but if you look in the hole you can see the pipe sticking out on the inside. There is no welds on the inside, so you have this weird lip caused by a protruding pipe.

Now I do not have a degree in air flow dynamics but it would seem that may cause unwanted back pressure. I know you want to have some back pressure, but I just have a gut feeling this would cause more than is needed. I don't really know for sure. It could be perfectly fine for all I know. It runs great with it on, but in the back of my head I'm thinking to myself, "Could it run even better if that lip wasn't there?"

As I said earlier, I could have an odd ball DP that has a lip and none of the other ones do. Or it could have been designed that way on purpose? Anywho, I'm rambling on your thread. Point it, it sounds great as long as you're ok with a little bit of drone.
