i might run it and dump on the side of the bumper. i like loud but im trying to go for less noise in cabin.

 

well your still gonna have ton of noise in the cabin.

i think your talking about the actual exhaust though. im talking about the dump tube, which is only necessary if you're running an external wastegate. are you gonna run a internal or external?

 

I'm running a jgs 50mm external wastegate with 2" dump pipe
The dump pipe will be facing away from the car with some sort of finish cover for the protrusion. If I let it simply hang in the bay the noise will bounce and more noticeable in the cabin.
The exhaust is going to a resonator, cat converter and dual apexi n1 exhaust.
I'm also going to look into soundproofing the cabin.

 

dual APEXi? like the APEXi dual you see on a 240? or like literally 2 mufflers on both ends?

 

yeah lol
why?

 

If you haven't decided on any certain products yet, look at Second Skin Audio products. They have everything you'll need.

wow
they have some real cool things. will def look into them.

 

Not only is it really cool, but it works. Just by covering my outer door skins with 1 layer of their Damplifier Pro, I gained .5 db in my SPL setup. That's a big gain, all things considered. There was also a noticeable drop in road noise and other outside noise, along with giving the doors the solid "thump" sound when you close them.

I know their stuff is expensive, but it's well worth it, imo.

 

thats cool. all this i can do over the summer. i have got to tidy the interior before the car rots from the inside out

 

yeah that thing's been sitting for a minute bro, you should def take care of that lol. Is it still sitting in that same lot?

 

I have to start asap. All the exterior trim around the windshield was all messed up.

 

havent been on the BQE in a while. car still in the same spot?

 

Hasn't moved

 

you should get crackin' on that, and get a car cover.

 

I have a car cover which I didn't use this year. Cover cover doesn't help much really

 

yeah i remember it had a cover on it. have you decided on wheels yet? or is that something that isnt really priority yet?

 

its way too early. something 17" with a nice offset. im getting fender flares or something of the sort. 5 lug a must

my turbo manifold came in today. its sick. the wait is now over and the anxiety begins to reapply for fittment

 

yea, id like to see what kinda numbers that could make.


im not hopeful of that design.


IMO, of course.

 

if i had something with a low offset, id just roll the fenders. thats me though.

 

Id roll them before I do anything drastic like flares but that down the line. First things first like getting engine work and turbo up n running

 

when are you expecting that to happen?

 

As early as summer 2010 and as late as early summer 2011. I will not push this thing later because. I've done so too many times. It could happen this summer but getting married, moving out and buying a new car isn't easy.

 

damn dude, busy life.

 

<- Is willing to wait until this is done...

 

 

wow thats impressive!

 

Its hard not being able to seal the deal. I look at all this and its kills me not to be able to have the car running.......yet

 

droooool

 

very nice looking header. just going by eye it appears to be equal length? and your turbo looks like a twinscroll unit, correct?
i always wondered how they handle an ewg on a mani like that without wrecking/combining the clean seperate exhaust pulse, they just keep a wall in the center of the flange?

that car is going to sound like pissed off f1, going to be sick...

 

wow... that manifold is sexy.

 

IMPRESSIVE

 

yes equal length and yes twin scroll unit
its almost like a baffle. the guy did an awsome job with wastegate flange.
im not going to get into details but the way the mani is designed (single wastegate) is as optimal as twin. its perfect. only thing i need to do now it try it on the car itself and hopfuly no issues

 

issue #1



Overall looks absolutely ill. Im impressed.


I also have to look into cold side and clearance. Im open to opinions...

 

coughpuresexcough

 

gut reaction would probably be to grind down the entire car before resorting to persuade those lovely pipes, or taking stone to the exhaust housing...but all's fair in custom.

re the cold side, that's going to be a busy fenderwell in any event, but comp housing easily clockable with the t-bolt, and a few front mount options to entertain...so lots of possibilities -- might have to throw in more bends/length than you want, or move some reservoirs/what-not around before all's said & done, but it'll be ok.

p.s. looks hot

 

sure is tight in there, I see cutting in your future

 

Appreciate the positive comments
That cold side into the fmic is going to be tricky. With the outlet facing down I hit the beam so I have to either look into a tight silicone 90 into a 45 or just weld a aluminum 90 then 45 from there.
The hot can possibly be resolved with a 1/2" by T4 spacer.



Except the FMIC needing some small alterations I'm not cutting anything else that matters.

 

Yeah, routing the fmic piping is what I was refering to, can't wait to see what you come up with

 

ummm...sick? lol

good stuff man, def gonna have to do a cruise down there (finally) this year..
