What exhaust to buy???

[mx-p5]

No, no built engine. He was able to repair it with all stock parts. It's done just waiting on my rear motor mount to show up before he drops it back in and I pick it up. Not much of a beast.

But, still fun in the corners!!

aww thats unfortunate. I was looking forward to seeing the monster

 

[rednecks_r_us]

what're the odds of getting someone with the magnaflow exhaust setup to post some audio clips?

You hear a lot of the dyno wheel but can hear my magnaflow in the background.

Did you turn up the volume on your speakers?





LOL


The magnaflow has a nice deep growl not a ricey wet fart sound.

 

[Kymerik]

yeah, you hear alot of engine but not much exhaust imho

 

[mx-p5]

Yeah, the MagnaFlow's are not loud at all! You do hear more engine noise than exhaust with my setup. But, maybe that will change with the eventual addition of a header.

But, I will still try to get a clip when I get my car back.

Appreciated mate, I want performance without the noise, i know thats an oxymoron because freer flowing exhaust = power = noise. But my V6 cougar was dragster loud...headers, testpipe, 3" catback exhaust....there was NOTHING in the way of the exhaust gases and I ended up with a headache almost everytime i got in it for any length of time.

I'll prolly end up doing completely N/A to get CLOSE to 150whp...Cams, I/H/E, full set of pulleys and be done with it. And start with the Headers because from the looks of things, these stock headers are rediculously constricting, the 1" exhaust piping doesnt help either LOL

 

[bucksatan]

The Ractive drones pretty bad on the highway, unless it is super cheap I would avoid it.

 

[mx-p5]

Best mods for performance N/A is header, highflow catted midpipe and a full catback. You don't need 3 inch piping on a 2.0 fourcyclinder though.

You might look into removing the VTCS on your car. I'm still hesitant to do light wieght pulleys. I like my alternator.

Tylor

 

[magnumP5]

Why would lightweight pulleys do anything to your alternator? You aren't underdriving anything.

 

[yellowP5Kentucy]

Im replacing my stock exhaust soon and im thinking of getting the Tanabe medallion touring catback. Its a quiet system, but it has good flow thru apparently. Has anybody heard of this - good or bad

Thanks

Sorry, I was mistaken. Not lightwieght, I'm hesitant about underdrive. Thanks for the correction. Lighter pullies=good

lol

Tylor

 

[Kymerik]

problem with that one, yellowp5 is that it's an axle back. Go full catback

 

[mx-p5]

$420 for an axle back? I think they're smokin something!!

I agree, go full catback. Keep your eyes peeled in the "For Sale" section on here. I picked up a full catback Magnaflow exhaust for $180.

Tylor

 

[yellowP5Kentucy]

Ok, Thanks
I thought I was lookign at katbacks b/c the price, thanks for spotting that! Ill keep my eyes open -

Eh, I've had the Unorthodox Racing UDP on the car for almost 2 years now and no problems. I even have a voltmeter gauge monitoring everything just in case. All this and I'm turbo'd. I would however like to go back to stock size soon but lightweight like Brach's sets.

[mx-p5]

Thanks. I'll still shy away from underdrive pullies.

Here's an Greddy Evo2 catback for sale
