Exhaust Depot's Sound clips/videos
Excuse the quality of the videos. I was trying to hold my cell phone, drive and talk at the same time.
The first few video's are Exhaust Depot's downpipe, no resonator and full exhaust. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29..._VIDEO0008.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29..._VIDEO0012.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29..._VIDEO0010.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29..._VIDEO0009.jpg |
"And we are doing, oh s*** we are doing 100" HAHAHA!!!
|
Okay, here is the same setup but with Exhaust Depot's 2nd muffler (meant to replace the resonator)
Basically sounds the same, a little more mellow but much quieter on the inside.... the previous post doesn't drone but it's on the verge.... http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29..._VIDEO0015.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29..._VIDEO0016.jpg |

Found your vids, very nice. Now I really need to thump Hector. :)
I did get a crick in my neck. :razz: And that was on the autobahn which was ported over via a Bermuda triangle black hole, if an LEO is wondering. :sly: |
post op some pics of the four inch tips and the clearance. if i like the way they look i might have to drop by there and switch!

That would have to rate top 2 to date that I have heard...I've heard them all except Invidia...
So just so you can break it down for us. Mark, what are you currently running, in order, from the turbo back. Nice vids and nice driving! :thumbsup: Interested in this setup...and I didn't know he had 4 inch tips as an option. |

From front to back. ED downpipe, ED full exhaust. In the first set of videos, I was running a straight pipe in place of the resonator and their muffler (magnaflow). In the second set of videos, I had (2) magnaflow mufflers (one in place of the straight pipe) HTH's, Mark |

Also, with the resonators, do you still get that evil burble? If I ge this system, I want the Evil Burble! :nod: Does Hector have interchangeable pipes so in other words, I could purchase the resonator separate and put it on and take it off as I please? Any CELs yet? :wink::lol: Thanks! |

Okay, thanks for clearing that up for me.
Now your opinion. Without the resonators, is it too loud? It's louder, not A BUNCH but definitely louder. Around town it would be fun but I had an 8 hour drive on the highway at 85'ish mph and though it didn't "drone", it was a bit too loud. If anyone of of ya'll are worried that your wife may not like it, you're right. It's not stupid loud but I know I'd have to listen to my wife if I left it that way. With resonator, (another muffler, remember, he doesn't use resonators, just mufflers) it takes away some of the raspiness and loudness. I assure you it doesn't remove the sound.... it merely calms it down a bit. Also, with the resonators, do you still get that evil burble? If I ge this system, I want the Evil Burble! :nod: Does Hector have interchangeable pipes so in other words, I could purchase the resonator separate and put it on and take it off as I please? Since it was a bit loud for me, I installed the second muffler and away I went. Any CELs yet? :wink::lol: HTH's, Mark Thanks![/quote] |

I assure you it doesn't remove the sound.... it merely calms it down a bit. Yes, the burble is perfect with resonators. It's louder without the resonators but I assure you can still hear it PLENTY. Yes, that's what I did. I had his guys make up a straight pipe to remove the resonator and I also had them flange another muffler so I could swap it out. Since it was a bit loud for me, I installed the second muffler and away I went. Nope, Nada, None... and believe me, after a 500-600 mile trip and all the flogging that poor car has taken over the last 2 days, if a CEL was to occur, surely it would have come on by now...lol. HTH's, Mark Thanks! Now for the final question. Cost. How much did everything come out to be including DP, resos, mufflers, custom flanges, catback, and all the goodies...:popcorn: |
The flanges aren't necessarily custom. Its the way his catback comes, for everybody who orders it. it is a 2.5 inch system.
Do you still think its too loud with the resonator installed? Also, do you notice a performance increase? |
I like the license plate. A MINI guy in Hawaii had it but after a few complaints the DMV made him turn it in. =(

chad ill call you this week? I forgot the offer tho!
and mark! stop wasting so much gas! I bet you've already driven through 2 tanks in charlotte LOL:lol: |
I meant to tell you guys... I took the worst weld job I could find on the exhaust system and this is what it looked like.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...w/IMAG0326.jpg THAT was the worst.... Rashaun CAN WELD. All the flanges and parts welded looked superb. Like I said, I was trying to make a point, this is the worst I could find... He was freakin' awesome. Mark |
talk about quality!:thumbsup:
|
Orangecrush...any talk or worry about the DP not having the OEM mounting flange at the bottom of the DP. Another thread is talking about this and now I am a bit worried since I have the ED DP w/o the flange. Stress on the turbo and upper DP mounts?
|
Mark,
Looks like the quality and fit are good. Now if they will get mine done and shipped I would be a much happier ED customer. :sad: Anyone talked with Hector this week? Of course with our nasty weather, the MINI has not been out on the road much. :mad: :no: Take care and more pictures on a lift, eh. :razz: |

When I was much younger, I wanted what I thought was cool regardless of the result (ie. air shocks would look cool but give a crappy ride) but the older I get, I want my modifications to be as close as stock as possible. (reliability wise)

I'd ride down with you if you want to swing by... I mean, come on, it's only about a 2400 mile trip for you....:lol: Hope you get yours soon. Mark |
