Had some spare time today and wanted to hear wat it would sound like. I took the muffler off and wow!! Rotary sounds awesome, but Ill probably figure out a new muffler in the near future. IM just not gonna buy a whole catback system for 5hp. I might even just hollow out the muffler and reinstall.
 
go with a racingbeat set up. they are kind of pricy, but they are nice and they are engineered to add a decent amount of power. if you have a non-turbo, there is a true dual exhaust that is awesome.
 
Here is my FC with NON TURBO I had the true dual racing beat header back with STOCK mufflers... sounded like this

I thought it was good.. however I will NEVER buy/use a presilencer again.. that was the MOST EXPENSIVE part in the system and its quality was junk and the silencer did not muffler the sound for long...
 
yeah, that is the portion of my exhaust that i am looking to replace. that combined with my turbo holding all of the back pressure, i don't get a whole lot of sound. on top of that, a while back i ran over a milk jug on the highway and it melted instantly to the pre-silencer. even after i pulled the jug off and scraped the plastic, it still smoked for a long time. i think that i am just going straight with it next time.
 
Strait exhaust FTW.. of course with dual mufflers.

I have a video of my car with a 3" downpipe and thats it.. on the turbo..I should find it
 
yeah, everything else will be the regular racingbeat exhaust (3 inch turbo to axle, then 60 mm duals back) but i want to trade out the presilencer for a straight 3" in that stretch of exhaust.

my wife says that she likes the exhaust how it is because of the sleeper effect. it doesn't really speak up during a race until it is too late for the other guy, but i want to hear at least a little more noise.
