nope... its like us... as soon as we get em done we make em loud again :(

mine is JASMA approved cause it has an extra muffler... which im going to remove this weekend to see what she really sounds like :)

yeah mine is jasma complied

i removed that second muffler or resonator

it cost me 50 bucks to replace it with straight thru pipe

but man it sounds sooo much better now

idle is a lil louder but still quiet

but when you start revving it, man its sounds like a whole new exhaust. starting to get popping as well and more of a evident droning sound as opposed to before.

btw is it illegal to chop off the resonator thingy?

btw is there a difference between dump pipe and front pipe

or are they exactly the same thing?

cos i asked the guy that chopped off my resonator how much for a dump pipe

he said 220 fitted

im was like wtf that seems incredibly cheap

they are different... dump is the part off the turbo... front pipe is the pipe from the cat to the dump... well im pretty sure thats what they are... i brought a dump and front pipe in one for 200 from Steve (phat32) keep forgetting to call ICE to get it installed... they said it would only be about 80 to install.

Depends, some "dump" pipes are like one-piece from the turbo to the cat, others are split into two pieces where one is the "dump pipe" and the rest is the "front pipe".

Mine is like 2 pieces. Think it helps when you get a bigger turbo as rather than replacing the whole thing, you just replace the dump bit so it fits the new larger turbo.

ok so we took it to daalder on friday...

"no way"

was the response lol

in other words he said it was a waste of time welding a resonator in cause it wont make it the legal limit either rofl.

its cause its a fat straight pipe with a near hollow cannon on the end... its the end pipe that makes it so loud as well apparently...

oh well i didnt like the exhaust anyway i thought it looked ugly. Going to put something nice a polished and shiney on it once we get pass this EPA thing.

inark

i have a cat back HKS system, but recently replaced the rear canon with the standard muffler, i.e had an 's' pipe made to fit the standard muffler to the 3 1/2 inch HKS pipe and the results were amazing....took it from 100+ db to 84 db ......

so the rear muffler determines the loudness is my point.

I got done too.. EPA sent me a nice letter to tell me mine was too loud... pfft..

I didnt think mine was that loud...

Got it tested on Friday.. and its 95db.. :P

They are going to put a smaller resonator (spelling) on it :)

replacing the 3' with a 2'.. they said it shouldnt restrict it too much... What do you guys think???

permanently? i don't like it. That means you're effectively reducing the entire exhaust to 2". Get a 3" straight through resonator or a 'daalder magic resonator" (still 3") and get that put in the system under the car. That should bring 95dB down to 89.

    • I'm not a big fan of the Cometic gaskets either, as above the head and deck need to be like a mirror (can't remember the RA) so Kamieri sounds like a good idea.  FWIW a mate of mine hordes old motor stuff and has some blank unground Nizmo cams for one of these in his supply if random shit if you're interested. 
    • This is aem disk setting in aem tuner and still 180 dgree off or ignition on exhaust cycle is it from cas it self as cas seems wouldn’t fit in cam shaft if wrong position and wiring been verified any ideas 
    • Oh yeah that would work excellent. Should be the same diff housing & everything. Shoot me a text or call me 260-750-2246 -Cody 
    • Oh right, I didn't realise it was your car. Please do! Makes me feel better about mine. I also have a big scrape on the front left bumper where someone presumably used the wall to guide the car into a parking spot  But somehow all the funds go towards mechanical things and the cosmetics stay forever unfinished... Interesting, I don't think I have seen it before. But after seeing @PranK's rusty roofline on the BMW I'd probably leave it alone. Wouldn't want water to get in there.
    • Thanks mate, thought you might know the answer.
