Exhaust baby!, Getting exhaust... Options

[snadman]

Yeah yeah yeah! I'm so excited. On Friday at 8am my time, I'm getting not all new exhaust system but form the cat back. This shop called Exhaust Pros are going to put in custom mandrel bent (instead of OEM crush bent) cat-back tubing to a Magnaflow Race muffler with a 4 inch tip. The muffler is nice, and I was told it's comparable with the HKS aluminized-steel mufflers. I will post pictures when it's done. Sorry to waste a whole thread on just this but I'm so freakin excited.

No need to be sorry

I remember how excited i was when i first got my exhaust on

[Drocay]

Can't Wait to See it.

ps: How Much?

[sirrahtap]

hey, that is sweet. i am really hoping i can get some sort of new exhaust system on my car soon. it all depends on what i end up doing for work this summer because i need to makes sure i have enough money for tuition too. but do you have any idea what the cost is gonna be? also, where is the exhaust pro you are going to. i live in minneapolis, so i might be able to talk to the same people. oh, and do you know what kind of piping they are using? (size and material)
thanks

[CJOHNST3]

It's not widely known, but you can go to Meineke, and they will design a custom exhaust solution for you - Mine cost just under 400 bucks, it's 4 inches cat back to Magnaflow muffler - it was a lot louder than I expected - now I wake up my neighbors every morning when I warm up the car at 5:30AM

And Pics coming soon - thanks to Jober - I now have the Ganadors on my 99 silver celi - look damn sweet with the cross cut KVRs

You got four inch piping?!? That's crazy, especially for a 2.2 liter N/A car!!! Turbocharged cars pushing 1,000 horsepower don't have exhaust that big! Did you feel a big loss of torque when you got your exhaust installed?

[snadman]

To tell you the truth, they totled everything up as an estimate for me. And this is all including labor for each thing...the muffler will be 150 and the catback mandrel bent exhaust tubing is 140....that's with labor. So my grand total shouldn't be over 300 bucks...i only got 310...oh yeah and a car-ashtray-full of pocket change. lol.

hmm...


ok that statement right there would not help me to go to meineke. If they don't know the right size of piping to put on then why the hell are they even in business.

lucky SOB, those rims should be priceless

EDIT: and are you sure the tip isnt the only thing thats 4 inches?? if the piping is 4 inches you lost some pretty significant torque...

[Guest_Matthew_*]

and on your profile it says 3 inch catback exhaust???

hmm....

[snadman]

Now now children, let's not turn into 6gc-flame-forums.net ok? Here's a sound clip, kinda tiny sound clip but you get a feel of what it's like. The deep growl I get when in the lowe rpms makes me wanna go slower actually....just so I can hear it. It doesn't sound like my friend's Prelude (which just drove by as I was writing that) which has a whiny sound towards the top range. It's nice and deep.

Magnaflow 14843 Muffler with custom catback exhaust.

[Drocay]

It sounds awsome can't wait to see the pics

[puntee23]

Good choice... I have a dual tip mirror finish exhaust from Magnaflow. It sounds so beautiful, and it gives your car a nice look.

[CJOHNST3]

My bad folks ... typo

It's 3 inches not 4 inches. - My profile is correct

I guess I'm just another guy saying I'm an inch bigger than I really am - my bad!

And no I didn't feel a loss in torque - although I'm not much of an off the line type driver anyway - I drive 500 to 600 miles per week at mostly 80-100 miles an hour - it's all turnpike traffic - and the accelleration from 80-100 is impressive for a 2.2.

Once the damn snow melts I'll get some pics up here - freakin April and 3 inches of snow in PA - Mother Nature is off the wagon again!

if you get an intake your car will sound like a f-ing beast! That sounds really good. Bud did you notice any performance gains?

-Seth

[CJOHNST3]

You could definitely tell the difference, but mostly from 3500 RPM and up - so on the high end of every gear you can feel the increase

80 to 100 MPH is from 3800 ish to 5000 rpm - it really kicks in - when I want to pass in 4th or 5th - it's not a problem!!!!

[idontgotta5sfetu...]

i'm sure he's talking about the tip
