My new Ti muffler

My new exhaust!

Sound is 20% louder than stock, and I finally got the throaty sound I was after when I rev. Tolerable resonation levels at highway speeds (80 @3500K).

Main reason for replacing the stock muffler section (only) was I hated the looks of the racing beat muffler. Plus my new muffler/piping weighed about 1/4 of the weight of the RB system.

Anyone want to host about 6MB worth of vidoes so u guys can eval the sound from outside the car?

I created one, thanks...
 
i'll add the links to the list right away. sounds nice :). it sounds a lot like mine. just to verify, you only have an axleback right? what size piping are you using? oh yeah, when you shift, it sounds like you're getting a clean sound, i.e. no turkey. am i right?
 
Correct, axleback only. It is mandrel bent (small shop) 2.5" piping, but it is fine for now. Very raw, clean sound. Turkey is still there if you rapidly get off the throttle (only).:cool:

I like the way that looks. I just wnderring if it is a upgrade or moslty looks. I mean doeas buying a new muffler help with performance or just produce sound and looks. Please let me know so I can decide weather or not to get one.
thanks

Muffler + stock piping= no performance just sound, looks and maybe some weight reduction.
 
Now what if I replace both of the cat converters with high flow and put a new muffler on will the be good as it gets with keeping my car legal.

Well That will net you more power but the best thing would be to replace all the stock piping they are doing a GB right now on a mid-pipe from wagnermotorsports with a hi-flow cat welded into to it very nice I plan to get one in the future for my P5 here is the thread-http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64755


Here is a pic of the mid-pipe-

Not sure I agree, according to my butt dyno, i gained a marginal amount. Negligible, but noticeable.
