My new custom exhaust

Local turbo performance shop (Forcedfed) that does all kinds of fab work and tuning built me up this system. I wasn't overly impressed with any of the kits offered, especially for the cost to get them across the border into canuckland here.. so this was the best bet. Plus I could have some dyno pulls done to confirm output and what not with the AP tunes loaded.

These guys have done a lot of the plumbing and fabwork for my 86 GLH-T project. Their one fabricator is phenomenal! I'd highly recommend them to anyone in the fraser valley or even western canada.

Anyways.. Its stainless 3in from the down pipe back, no resonator and solely a magnaflow muffler and dual stainless polished magna flow 3.5in tips at the end. I will most likely have them build a cat less down pipe out of stainless for me this summer too.

Heres what the tips look like from the back.





Heres a shot showing the underside where the tips attach.



I went for the unpolished look as well.. Its a daily driver!

Sounds amazing. Maybe a bit loud.. but thats fine by me. Ive taken a sound clip.. I just need to trim it and then I'll put it up on youtube with a link. I got it both at idle. at cruise and wide open throttle.. Just so everyone can adore the cacophony!

I've also got to scan the dyno graph.. but with the stage 2 92 octane tune (I've got a helix intercooler, this exhaust, smooth boost tubes and an intake) it made 218whp and 235wtq.. with the stage 3 tune loaded and some 100 octane in the tank (was a hot day.. and I had some left over from tuning the GLH) it made 231hp and 249wtq. Hard to argue with those numbers..

Next up will be an Aquamist water meth setup with a howerton tank! More for piece of mind while I run around on the stage 3 tune...
