what is the best exhaust? I don't think many people get chambered exhausts anymore.... there are many straight thru exhausts that are quiet on turbo cars.... not sure which ones though

i heard that hks, fujitsubo are very good.. but some others like buddyclub are loud ass.

Doxx,

The guy who bought the Super Dragger off me said he needed two resonators to quieten it down. Otherwise the booming sound is enough to trigger all car alarms when you drive past.

So when you bought one, make sure you also get the middle pipe that comes with the resonator, otherwise, trying to fabricate a 3.75" pipe to suit your dragger might not give you the best result as getting the original HKS middle pipe.

Putting in resonator might decrease flow, but in terms of HP gain without resonator compared to the amount of cop attention you'll get... is it worth it? Unless you're going for the track all the time, you may not need it.

I got Trust system front pipe and cat-back. It seems to me that when I put in front pipe, it is not as loud as cat-back only. Maybe the way the gas flow from small pipe onto the big pipe creates a big noise at the cat before. Now with front pipe in, it may creates that noise right after the dump pipe, and by the time it reaches the back, that noise has been long way supressed in the piping.

That's just my theory.... Might worth considering getting a matching front pipe as well.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
