wow that sounds really good, I think one of the best sounding 'lara I heard!

cost me $60 from one of the better welders in town

i couldn't expect the same work to be done for less than $100 tho

he's a friend of a friend

oh nice.. could u tell me what u got ( like exactly) cuz i hate how u can see the stock pipe sticking down when looking at the car from the back (yours looks alot better) .. and all u did was get the custom pipe and muffler right?

by **yoboyandre** » Sun Apr 12, 2009 10:03 pm

where do u get the pipe? they make it for u?

by **Robert** » Mon Apr 13, 2009 6:18 am

yeah they made it for me, Straight back 2.5" from the cat using the existing bracket for the resonator so it can be un-bolted and 2 bends to get to the muffler after the axle

Not to mention, it IS a v6

by **yoboyandre** » Mon Apr 13, 2009 8:58 am

do you think it would be a great sound diffrence between the v6 and my 4cyl?? =\

by **Robert** » Mon Apr 13, 2009 9:07 am

a little, but i'm sure it will still sound good

speaking of this talk
Im gonna say it sounds great but, if given the alternative choice, I would choose Mandrel bend over crush bend. It has a higher flow rate for your exhaust.

by **Robert** » Mon Apr 13, 2009 9:38 am

if i could find a place that did mandrel bent, i would've surely gone

Other than that, it COULD have been done with 90 degree elbows, but i don't know where to get those

Thats one of the best I have heard yet, sounds great!

autozone sells pre-bent pieces of exhaust tubing of any angle you need. I made my dual resonated straight pipe using parts mostly from them.

should've took advantage of that

I haven't stepped into an autozone since highschool

is this it!???!!!???

That's the one

Note that i went with Crush bent 2.5" pipe from the Cat back

in this process the factory Resonator was eliminated

it wont sound the same with the resonator

Yea in general a resonator will make t less buzzy or raspy. I would suggest a high flow resonator for most custom exhausts.

by **Robert** » Tue Apr 14, 2009 3:10 pm

it actually has no raspyness on my car, i'm very very happy with it, very smooth & deep

Sounds great!
