Custom Y-Pipe installed...um yeah

[bigbirdSCed]

ok so, install was a pain because the previous owner had the exhaust up to the exhaust manifolds welded as one piece (including the factory Y-pipe) so after cutting and welding in a flange to mout it, this is the result(plus an exhaust leak that i have to take back to fix).

i think it sounds like crap personally, i was expecting a change but not so drastic. performance is very nice says my ass dyno, low end power has suffered but top end is better, ill find out how good in a couple weeks it think.

its actually louder then that, the mic was pointed foward so it got more S/C then exhaust.

the y-pipe(perviously owned by mzfe5speed)

either way it sounds good, but personally I think it sounded better before the y-pipe.
great lookin car man.

How does that sound like ass? i think it sounds sweet.

[Dawgz]

the main reason that i did not buy that ypipe, is because u'd have to hack into the mid pipe to put a Cat.

and in NJ, if u run with out a Cat and the trooper just happens to check to see if u have a cat or not, and if u dont, they will impound ur car.

So be carefull if u ever come into NJ.

[bigbirdSCed]

oh i have a cat, we definatly had to hack the mid pipe down. im thinking a resonator will cut back on the raspieness but i may just redo the back end of the exhaust, ive always thought quad exhaust would look good with the TRD kit, plus 2 mufflers should quiet it down a bit.

[Dawgz]

theres no reason for that quad exhaust.

[bigbirdSCed]

of course thers no reason, i just think it would look good. take some of the rice away from the giant muffler and tip. if it was a lara id love it but i just dont see the look fitting the car the way it is now. but this is just an idea, first step will be to install a resonator...or 4

[Dawgz]

are you comming on the 8th to the dyno?

by the way, adam has ur fuel upgrade setup, it looks pretty fckn sick with the Pressure reading.

[CASTRO]

sounds good

[Mr_Chunkz]

sounds alot more metallic and harsh than before
before was mellow and droned out

alot of ppl like that sound
alot dont

Im in between on it. Would sound mean blowin past me at WOT on the freeway tho

[bigbirdSCed]

yeah ill be im pretty sure il be comming, i talked to king bout, figured hed told you.

the sound is growing especially at high rpms but the raspy sound and the fact thats its just TOO loud needsd to be fixed.

[onefiend]

sounds better before the y-pipe...but the sound with it, isn't that bad. I've heard worst.

[SleeperSolara]

Nice project there.

[bigbirdSCed]

im taking it back to the shop tomarow and have them fix the small leak and weld in a resonator...a big one

[Sp33d]

i dont like the sound. i know that the sound coming from your vid is because of the better flow, hence better performance, but it sounds helllllllla ricey.
