On YT and came across this guy who is apparently on here. I'm trying to figure out what exhaust work he's got done

I believe that was Blazin GT

JJones91

Finally found out what he did!! Just a simple muffler delete. I am definitely doing this ASAP

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

Deleted both mufflers? Or resonator delete?

JJones91

Just the mufflers, on his post he said he kept all 4 resonators

teh CL

Good stuff.


I may just dabble

JJones91

I'm gonna go check tomorrow and see how much it'll cost to get them removed. Then it'll be time for wheels and lowering springs :P

JJones91

I got it done and holy hell it's perfect.

Nice. Is it much louder inside? Could you make a video from the inside while driving (cruising, acceleration etc.)? That would be awesome! Btw. Is this mod legal?

How's the drone?

JJones91

None at all

Depends on your state or locality, on its face sure it is and as long as doesn't throw any code for emissions if your state requires emission tests it's all good. Also in DMV Johnny law is cracking down on noise and a few friends have been pulled for noisy exhaust so depends on your local men/women in blue tolerance but personally this doesn't sound that loud at all to garner a second look IMHO

Nice mod OP

JJones91

Yeah I wouldn't even worry about ever being pulled over. Hell I ran straight pipes on my Mustang GT and never once got pulled over for it and trust me it got plenty of attention.

The sound would be comparable to the G35/G37 as far as loudness goes. It's not near enough to attract attention to the police, hell if I knew nothing about these car's I'd almost think the car came that way.

Since mufflers have absolutely nothing to do with emissions and just noise, it should pass just fine unless your inspector goes by the book in which case is very rare.

JJones91

Thanks! Just enough to make me smile when I get on it

How did you "delete" it? Cut pipe and tips and put a straight pipe between?

It should not pass inspection in Texas. Like OP said though, that doesn't mean it won't.

What did it cost you?

Gonna call in the AM & hopefully get it done, don't see it being much $$... Should be rumbling before work

JJones91

Just had them cut the muffler off the tip, they cut and bent some new piping and welded the tips to the new piping and put in some new hangers, took them about 20min.
Literally cost me $80, cannot complain for that price at all.

That's gravy.. I'm gonna get them to extended my tips a bit. They hide behind the Aspec lip.


You got me all riled up

Mid pipes on this car must be restrictive. Cause ive done resonators and mufflers on TL and there loud lol

daze05rl

Damn wish I saw this before I did my magnaflow exhaust work ! Would of been much cheaper! Lol

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

How does the Magnaflow sound? & what size piping?

JJones91

Did you get yours done today? ^

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

Called this morning & they wanted $80 per side. I lol'd and that was the end of that. Didn't have to much time to shop around, it'll have to wait for next week now..

JJones91

Find a small shop, they'll do it alot cheaper that's what I did. One shop wanted $225 to do the job and I told them to kiss my ass.

daze05rl

i love the sound no drone and so much more power i felt it as soon as i drove away from the shop. my pipe is 2 1/4 and i went with the magnaflow because i saw someone on here do it and sound clip sounded nice.

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

hmm.. may have to do some research

JJones91

I'm not real sure the difference in performance would be that dramatic or even noticeable. Hell even on my GTI when I went 3" wasn't noticeable until I did a tune on the car so I could build more boost.

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

probably noticeable, removing 2 of those fat resonators will definitely help..


Either way I'm gonna do the muffler delete first & see how I feel

thomask

Outside sound is nice but I'm mostly inside while driving and enjoy engine's sound from the inside too. Could someone record engine's sound from the inside ? Unless sound doesn't really change inside the car after this mod?

daze05rl

yeah it defenatly didnt drop my track time from 17s to 12s but it felt better like a weight loss mostly.

JJones91

I'll see if I can but it's really hardly noticeable. You can easily carry on a conversation very well.

JJones91

Here's an interior video guys

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

Do you have an intake or is that all exhaust?


oh and lights on during the day?

JJones91

That's all exhaust lol completely stock other than that, and I turned the lights off later in the video if you look :P

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

I'm even more sold now..

Just dropped a decent chunk on tires/install today so this is on the back burner for the moment. I could always cut the mufflers off and ride dirty with no tips.. lol

JJones91

True! Haha but trust me you'll love it man, I love hearing that exhaust note come from it

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

Usually I despise exhaust on autos but I'll survive..


Just gonna keep re-watching these videos till I get it done

JJones91

Hahaha just wait till its done XD

MrKev

Dam sounds good, gotta find a shop that'll do it for that cheap

Can you hook up a device and play through your bluetooth in your car while u wait for the install like audi does?
