Thread: Real Men Go Side Exit

i ran open 3" downpipe that was about 12" of pipe coming off the turbo and at night when its pitch black out and i punch it and go through the gears, sometimes inbetween shifts it would get a nice backfire and i could see the entire ground under my car and around my car light up. Ive had people behind me when i do this and for the most part when i would punch it in second and just pound off the rev limiter then let off the gas it would get a nice flame to where my buddy behind me could see it under the car and light up the ground.

I loved it. At idle and partial throttle its pretty quiet, i mean even on the highway there is very little drone or resonance. The turbo takes care of most of the sound. Now under WOT that is a whole different story, like you guys said, i scare people when i punched it, haha, all you hear is a loud turbo sound and alot of exhaust, hahaha, but even then its not super loud. Now the car is N/A and running open at the end of the 2.5" ssac header and now that is loud. haha the vibration/resonance/drone is almost unbearable. But needless to say im going to be doing a tokes 3" side exit with a 24"or 28" magnaflow resonator, as big as i can fit under there, that way its still very very free flowing but not near as loud. I want it to be somewhat loud though, i like it.

Mine is nowhere near quiet. I set off alot of car alarms just coasting around parking lots. It will make your ears hurt if you stand on the right side of the car and I rev it.

LOL your lying to yourself Ashton! As good as open Downpip sounds WOT. Its still loud as ****. Even at Idle itll piss off neighboors!

Here is it before I bolted the last hanger at the pinch weld... hanging down about an inch lower than it is now


Better Pics. This is after I pushed it up to be flush with the pinch weld.

5. Sorry for the lighting... but its tucked up under well... and it doesn't hit anything unless the bump is higher than 4" up or so...

I want a side exit...I have a dual exhaust right now. Here's the thing. A good friend has a B14 with side exit (exits before rear passenger tire) and his car is louder than mine with the exhaust cutout open (I have it in place of the catalytic converter). Now, my other exhaust, when the cutout is shut, is a 2 1/4" magnaflow and SLIGHTLY louder than stock.

Doesn't draw much attention.

is he using any sort of resonator of muffler?

if your just going straight open exhaust yeah the ****s gonna be loud lol

hes not using res or anything, neither am i with the cutout open.

but my 3" crushbent POS DP is probably muffling part of the sound.

its upside down but -



theres mine

^^^ arent those bends kinda sharp? seems like it may hurt the flow? just curious

Naw its good lol.
