Ah...I see. So that's a OBX exhaust? Never seen one. I thought it was a SuperSprint from the tip design. Very nice

 

OBX is a copy of SS both the header and exhaust. Not a bad set-up for 500.00 BUCKS !

 

I know I know, I can't believe I'm saying it either. It might be the fact that it's such a close up. Maybe if I look at it as a whole I might like it better. But, I'm serious when I say that the color looks great with the silver!

 

I just dragged myself to rspeed to hear the car. i could not get out to drive it but.....


IT SOUNDS AMAZING

when my back feels better i will do the dynos and video clips but this thing is amazing........ it is very LOUD when open.

it is hard for me to sit at the computer so more later

 

So it's ok with the valve open Bob? I'm getting around to puttn a decimeter to mine. Have you done that yet?

With encouragement/assistance from Chow4us, I'm half way to posting my exhaust notes. I have it recorded but I think I need some cables to interface with my PC. As my 1 year old says when asked..."what's Daddy's car say? 'VRUMM VRUMMMM!!!'"

 

Thanks to Chow4us, I've fumbled my way into nerdom and managed to create a link to my exhaust note Click on my sig text, "VRUM VRUMMM!!!" The revs are between 3 and 5k. Underload, the sound gets louder

 

Sounds very nice.........strong and responsive..........

 

How does that compare to the millitek? To me, that new sound clip is a bit loud. I have spent too much time with my too-loud miata...looking for a low growl....

thanks!

 

that last audio was Msfitoy not the "SpiderX" it is hard for me to answer that. it is a touch louder than the milltek closed......open it is Very Loud!

it is a prototype and the design goal is to match the milltek in volume.......

there are some decisions/experiments being tossed about. more later

 

SpiderX - were the clips taken with the back seat up or down?

 

d'oh....good point. It would be nice if i were paying attention!

I have some sound clips from the Millitek...sound slike plenty loud enough for me. I'll have to help someone later by buying their used Mill so they can step up to teh new Webb Hotness....

down

 

That's good to know. It's probably noticeably quieter with less drone when up.

 

agreed

 

SpiderX,

Any guess on when a open valve sample may be available to listen to? You've done a wonderful job on this thread.

 

My back decided to "go out" on me so the last few weeks I have been hampered.

I pick up the car today from R speed and I am hoping to be able to post something by Thursday night.

I will tell you it is loud but very meaty. It surprised the heck out of me how "big" the engine sounds.

Thanks for the compliments.......It is fun for me to be at the "point"

Bob

 

This exhaust is supposed to be ready by Christmas, no?

 

SpiderX, does the switch that randy provides look similar to the stock switches?

 

no ........ I'm not too crazy about it. I will look for another switch..... The stock switches are not switches at all..... more like "joy stick controllers" sending a message to a logic switch. there is nothing of consequence behind that switch that you put your windows up and down with. I am going to look for something else. I'll take photos later

 

I picked up the car today with the exhaust and the switch works like a champ..... I was hoping to dyno this week but it will have to be next week as I have lost a lot of work time due to the "back" situation.

THe open position is loud but inside it is not as loud as I expected. There is power increases when open but rather than guess....I will post dyno results. The workmanship and quality is very high and I think this exhaust will be the "go to" unit for some time........ I heard a rumor that it may be offered with and without valve.....and the valve can be added later...... if you think that is a good idea let Randy know.....don't tell him I sent you this is on the QT.

tips are being decided on and lots of good choices are being considered......this is a quality system so expect something nice.

I will try to post audio before the weekend.

 

Awesome - thanks for everything thus far. Very nice.


Any idea if there are plans to make something for us MC folk?

 

I am a "grunt" in this enterprise,....... the big guy will have to make that call.....but I like the way you think

 

so you could mash the throttle and while moving at speed, throw the switch back and forth to check power?

 

The sound would probably throw off your perception of the power.

 

give me the method and loan me the instrument and consider it done.
