Custom 3" Exhaust

[skatethesea]

Hey everyone,

I recently went on a road trip and for some reason my exhaust is boucing all around now. I got under the car today but didnt see anything wrong. Everything is bolted correctly, and it just wacks into the undercarriage on the slightest bump. Its so weird. I am gonna look again tomorrow. But the reason for the post:

I am seriously thinking about getting a single exit custom 3" exhaust built. Has anyone done something like this? How much do you think it would run me? If it turns out to be less than $500 I will definitely be doing this. I would love to hear what it would sound like.

Thought, opinions?

Your chances of someone with a 3" Bender is decent in VA beach. I'd do the same if I wasn't stationed in this dump with no good exhaust shops within 250 miles.

you heard the sound of mine , its beast . A cold start is crazy , my neigbors complain daily . Best 500 i put into my car . The problem i had was finding someone to do it . Best of luck, i suggest to do it , i love it .

I got quoted at $700.00 from turbo all the way back....be careful of sound levels tho.

Well, I got quoted today. They are the best in town from word of mouth. $375 from the test pipe back with a magnaflow tip. The parts will be here Thursday. So stay tuned for video of the new exhaust.

which magnaflow did you get? i was thinking of doing the 3" single exit aswell.

I wanna do the Greddy Racing-Ti or Power Enterprise out, but can't find a 3" bender. >.<

I honestly have no idea Akosi. I told the guy I wanted a single exit 3" from the test pipe back. He said $375 and come back Thursday. I said, OKAY! I hope I didnt sound like a kid goin to disney world.

Axle back or just magnaflow tips ? what diameter ?

I have the ultimate racing DP back right now. I am just getting 3" from the DP back. Which also means that the Ultimate Racing CBE will be on sale here very soon. Hmmmmm
They got the parts in today to do it but they got them late and the lift they need is already being utilized. And as for the Magnaflow question, I dont really know. I am guessing muffler and tip. I dont really care about sound levels. My S2000 was WAY beyong legal limits. But I dont modify my car to conform. If that was the case, I wouldnt put a cent into it. So tomorrow at 3 is my appointment. Hopfully, I will have enough energy to post a vid or something.

can't wait.

Okay, so the bad news is the guy used a low flow muffler and 2" piping. So you can't even hear the car anymore. We have a high flow straight through muffler coming in Thursday and he is special ordering three inch piping. So I guess it will be a couple more days before I post up the final results.

 

[CocoMs3]

pissed!!!!

WOW ! I would be so PISSED hope it all goes well .

Yea, as soon as I turned the car on I couldnt hear the exhaust at all. It was weird. Then as I drove away, I could feel the turbo trying to build boost and struggling against the new found backpressure. It sucked.

lame, lame, lame

Well, I told him I wanted single exit exhaust. He said okay. So in all fairness I didnt say that I wanted it the way I just described. But any tuner/enthusiast should know what the hell happens when you go from 3" to 2" exhaust with a bad muffler. But he only works on janky ass old domestics on 24s that want their 'donks' to be loud for cheap. So I will be paying for a new muffler and he will be covering the cost of the new 3" piping and labor. So its fair enough in my opinion.

 

[CocoMs3]

well good luck this time around , let me know how it goes

 

[skatethesea]

Putting it on right now. Can already tell by the new Piping it is a lot better.
