you dont need no stinken muffler.. :P but it will be freakin loud... not somethign I would recomend for small children, old children or anyone in between for a daily driver... but I am young nieve and dont care...

-Josh

 

I was running OBX header, Magnaflow cat, resonator and muffler with 2.5" pipe, and I was afraid to take my daughter in the car for fear of hearning damage. You don't need the muffler etc, but you sure will want them!

And that was with relatively mild mods....

Matt

 

I dont have anything but 2 resanators... and my cat... its very loud and a VERY deep tone to it... it rattles stuff in the car.....
crappy sound quality but its still there CLICK ME

-Josh

 

are you runnin a cat?

 

yes

 

thats where my problem is with it being so loud.

Im puttin the cat on next week or even puttin my stock header back on cuz i think theres a leak on the header and i dont see it being the gaskets cuz there all tight.

 

yea i wouldnt drive an everyday car without a cat... a track car would be different..

-Josh

 

guys, i am planning an exhaust this week, please advise me which way would be the best choice? Buying a set, or getting an experienced exhaust shop make me one? I need to consider from a price point, need it pretty loud, and i do not want any warning lights on my dash. Thanks for the help

 

if you like mine (video is in previous posts and gallery) just remove the stock one... add 2 resanators and then bend it out and around the battery box... no muffler..... but its is loud and does drone on Highway... but I am use to it and doesnt bother me. thats goign to be your cheapest option..

-Josh

Just to give you an idea on how loud my exhaust is the garage in a walk out... I can go upstairs on the other side of the house with my car running and hear it at idle...

 

If I were you, I would wait until Randy gets his sorted out.

You want loud? You will get loud

 

Well, mine is about complete. i had to do it on jackstands, so no underside pics yet.

I have a few of the side exit here, but i have to do some finish welding and a bit of painting when our lift is up and running again.

Oh yeah, since i used 2 1/4, i used as much of the factory system as i could, it turned out I only needed to fabricate one bend to use for the system, and i had to make one mount. here are a few quick pics.

BTW, the reason the rear apron looks like crap is because i didnt have a chance to but the parts off of a Cooper that I needed, so i had to chop up a S rear apron.

 

i think he said somethign about cheap too... which wont be Randy's...

 

yeah, i still think paying over 250 bucks for an exhaust system in a bit of a scam, its just a bunch of bent tubing and a few mufflers.

 

thanks for the vidoe sounds good to me. any possibilty of getting a pic of it?? i was looking into getting a boral"race" but would love to try out your set up first.
thanx
mikie

 

i could try but I dont have a lift...

Pics for ya!

If you want stainless, buy aftermarket, it will be less in the end. If you can do aluminizes steel, then you can get a custom exhaust done for much, much less.

Matt

 

ok so I have been informed... that my exhaust has been misleading and that my exhaust has two "cherry bombs" aka glasspacks so just wanted to let everyone know.

-Josh

 

ok, here are a few pics of mine.

bear in mind, it IS NOT DONE yet!!!

 

hey i did something like this...

but blew a hole in my bumper..

 

Well i put my stock header back on and it sounds ALOT better. I think i might stay this way.

There sending me another header cuz i felt this one was either leaking or something else was makin it sound like a 70's Beetle.

I'll most likely be selling the new one when it comes in and the new Magnaflow cat. Not sure yet.

 

Glasspacks ... how very 60s of you

 

and with the one-ball, it is pretty quiet. I'll be going back to a higher flow unit sometime, and then the hunt for a good enough muffler will begin.

Matt

 

I have a "one ball" with a flowmaster and res up front im happy with it. Low tone and actually quiet. Just have to mat the floor boards being the rear seats are comin out

 

You went back to the stock cat, right?

Matt
