Ok ok, so i know how some of you guys have girlfriends/boyfriends/wife etc that dictate to you how your car needs to sound . You like a good person comply so she cant enjoy her Barry Manilow etc while your driving your mini monster because *your selection here* wears the pants. Well I have figured out how to address this so that you both are happy.

I have came up with a catback system which bolts up to the stock downpipe so there is no need to hack up your stock system etc. The setup comes STANDARD with a removable resonator in the middle of the ride. So if your hemoroids are flairing or *your selection here* needs to listen to Barry then you can drive with this piece in place. If you end up kicking *your selection here* then you can remove the resonator and replace it with a straight pipe which comes with your kit.

Here is the prototype system I made. THe only difference will be the tips. The tips ill be using will be double wall vs the single wall tips you see pictured.






Here it is in the anti-man configuration with a center resonator:






And here it is with only the rear muffler for the younger crowd.




On the coupler i removed the little nipple that the OEM setup has which flips into the downpipe, that way you have better flow, that piece causes an airpocket around it.




YOu tube videos, hellz yeah!


This is the anti-man setup :

and here is the one with no resonator on it.

I bet this sounds perfect without a cat!

 

Now that's a true "barking" exhaust!

 

Has a bit of a bark to it.

 

If you thought that one had a bark listen to this one. lol.

This is with no resonator in the middle. Its more aggressive.

I edited the post up top and put that link in it.

 

Just got back from Hector's testing!

First thing to say is I will be getting rid of my 3" mandrel dp-back exhaust for 2.5" the Exhaust Depot system!

The Exhaust Depot cat-back system removes the rear cat and resonator to gain as much power as possible through a cat-back system.

The system allows you to easily set how you want the sound from conservative to mean and aggressive without any welding, just clamps!
The whole system is tucked underneath so you cannot see the piping and easily allows the removal and installation of the extra muffler or a straight pipe if you want. ( X-Brace underneath car needs NO modifications to fit with the system.)

Hector makes sure his work is flawless after seeing how he takes his time and does everything one at a time to avoid mistakes.

Thanks Hector

 

Thanks for being a guinie pig for me! Oh yeah, How many cels you get with your downpipe on your 300 mile trip? Make a thread.

 

Wow. Those both sound awesome. Too bad I am happy with my Millteck catback.

How much is the system going to run?

 

Under $600

 

Dude, you are awesome!

 

Shall I add the "European tax" to it?

 

Under $600 for a system that bolts on all the way to your downpipe! Best part is you can add or reduce the aggressiveness in sound with the 2 clamps,its like having two catbacks for the price of UNDER one catback!

This should be called DP-Back =D

No problem, thanks for the downpipe! NO CELs with the downpipe and I punched it a lot on the 300 mile trip

 

is this going to be louder than the cat back you are already offering? (w/o resonator)

 

I never really offered a catback setup, it was a full turbo back that would only bolt up to my system.

With just the rear muffler in its more aggressive than my other setup. WIth both the muffler in the rear and the resonator in the middle its milder.

 

LOL Thats the custom "Diego" exhaust.

 

LMAO!

 

You dont use the larger muffler anymore?Does this one perform better then the other one?

Btw,I see you are now offering slip joints.Cool.

 

The larger muffler is quieter, heavier and does not flow as well as the straight through one im using now. By using two smaller ones I can get the setup to be quieter than the larger single muffler. When you remove the center piece it will make it more aggressive. Just want to add versatility to the system so you can play around with it to your liking.

 

Can't wait to hear the drive by videos.Both sound good. How is the droning and the exhaust pops?

 

Yo quiero Taco Diego!!

 

Don Diego le gusta cuar quiera comida.

 

How would a mini look with just one tip?Or would that be too hondaish?

 

Invidia is Downpipe-Back.

 

Thats where all the power comes from.

 

where's the R53 kit? damn R56!
