"THE" Ultimate Exhaust Thread
Ok guys,hopefully this will get stickied. I can't promise it will be as comprehensive as ShawnB's suspension thread,but I will do what I can as I have time to continually update and add to it.
Since we already have threads to help compile all our info for Brakes,Tires,and Suspension...its time to do one for Exhaust....quiet or not.
I am constantly seeing exhaust posts and if you search,there is some great info.This should be really helpful eventually for anyone building a custom exhaust for any use,street or track,loud or quiet.
I will start out by posting some of my setups over the years to get the ball rolling.
I will also try to move links over here as I have time.Please feel free to help make me aware of any threads with pics or whatever.
Post as much info as possible,and it may help people reasearching...for example
-Engine,and basic setup(DE,DET,VE,etc)
-Chassis(B13,NX,P10,etc)
-Piping size
-Part # s
-pricing
-sound clips/video
Heres a start...
-SR20VE,stock cams,ASP budget header(no cat)
-NX
-3" VRS piping kit
-Magnaflow 5" round(x2)
-Vibrant flat black muffler
You can fit 2 of them 5" magnaflows back to back without a cat if you weld them together close enough.Here are some pics with a Vibrant muffler on a nx.

in car,windows down(0-100mph) no video,sound only on closed course

Heres another of my creations on a DE,muahaha
-SR20DE ,stock cammed,2.5 SSAC/Ebay header
-B13
-2.5 piping from Megan catback
-Vibrant ultra-quiet resonator after the cat
-Re-used Megan resonator,installed behind Vibrant
-Vibrant flat black muffler
With some minor massaging of the tunnel with a hammer,you can fit a Vibrant ultraquiet resonator under there after the cat.I also remove a small section of heatshield but the part over the cat remains.
I did this by hacking up a Megan catback that was on the car already.I reused the piping and moved the existing megan resonator back behind the vibrant and added a Vibrant muffler to get the Megan fartcan off there.
Sounds real nice,this a a 2.5 though.
It started out like this,yuk
Some threads I found worth a read

-----------I will edit this as I have time.It will take a while to collect info.Like I said,anyone who want to contribute will be greatly appreciated.----
Mike Kojima and the guys over at motoiq have taken it onestep further than me by doubling the vibrant resonators back to back(like I did to the magnaflows.)
