New Custom Catback Exhaust

I had this done a while back now, but my computer has been dead for a few months and I finally fixed it. I wanted to get my exhaust done, and my buddy has his own shop for welding. So, we bought a $100 Ractive muffler and he stole stainless steel street bike exhaust piping from his work :lol: He tig welded everything up and he even made his own stainless steel hangers for me.

I wasn't sure what to expect as far as sound, and I was scared that it would sound ricey as f*ck. After about 4 hours of repositioning, welding, etc. I finally got to take it off of the hoist to test it out. To my surprise it sounds like a god damn V8 muscle car now. When I hit the rev limiter it pops and sounds like a god damn turbo and when I take my foot off of the gas it pops and bubbles (my best explanation of the noise :lol:) but I am in love with it.

After it was done, I took it to my hockey game and all of my buddies were outside having some pre-game smokes. I took my sticks and bag out and put it about 3 feet behind my car. Everybody wanted to hear it, so I hopped in and revved it up and apparently my two hockey sticks blew off of the top of my hockey bag 8)

Anyways, I will post up a video of it soon and here's a few pictures of what it looks like (and yes I know it's round and does look a little rice and yes it is kicked out a bit but I like it).

vids! I think I mentioned it on someone else's exhaust thread...it's hard to f*ck up the sound of a 1mz.....getting rid of the resonators will do it. Stock size piping?

Working on getting a video together I quit my job so maybe I will go out today and make a short one for you guys. And he opened up the pipe by a quarter inch I think. It completments the SRI real nice, almost hitting the same pitch when I have the gas pinned :lol:

Sure did! $200 all in for the muffler, piping, and labour. Couldn't turn down that deal and I'm still trying to find the good camera to make a decent vid. It will be up soon though!
