Yea i taped it up for the time being cause of the gap that at each corner. Then i realized it looks like crap and took it off. I'll live with the gap for now until I can think of something better.

As for the piping, I always thought it was 2.25 for the 4 cyl and 2.5 for the v6's. 2.5" is overkill for the 4 cyl, they dont need such large piping, they'll lose backpressure

 

I'm still of the opinion that 2.25 is too much for a 4cl, unless you have FI.

 

oh well... other people recommended me 2.5 tho..

and.. since i have duals, i already lost backpressure..

 

iam a noob and i want an exhaust...advice plz

 

Hey Klepto,
I am thinking of going to that place to install the same muffler, don't think i am getting the resonator though. Did the $170 include the custom 2.25 in. piping as well?

 

yes, $170 was for piping from the cat to the res, then from the res to the muffler. you live around alameda? what kinda mods you got?

 

heh. thanks a lot!

Nothing much done to the car yet. it's a 2.3 CL. now i just have a short ram intake, so i am going to get the muffler next. also thinking of getting a spoiler and the ww front lip. you know a place around the bay area that still sells that? haha..

ps. i live in Fremont.

 

sorry man, your best bet would be to craiglist it, or wait for WW to reopen, but expect to pay like $300 brand new.

if you ever see me driving around, honk and wave

 

yeah for sho.. hahaha

 

damn, i got one more questin, Can i put the 18" resonator with a 6" diameter http://www.magnaflowonline.com/catal...sort=2a&page=3
item #12645
instead of the 4" diameter one?

will the sound be any different?

 

it'll prolly be louder. It might not fit in the stock place for the res though, so i'd stick with the 4" one.

 

sounds pimp. can we see pics of your motor?

 

*insert picture of stock motor here*

 

that sounds great. Im in KY, no laws on emissions, so I could just run strait from a header to muffler correct? Or will that give it the ricey sound and not the sound like kleptos, shiney's, etc?

 

that would be quite loud

 

sounds dope klep. just a quick question tho. I thought the exhaust had a flex pipe?
did you replace that with custom, or no flex pipe? I only had me rear section done before
so it never was an issue. thanks

 

i have no idea what a flex pipe is. If you look at the pic of my undercarriage, you can see all the piping there yourself

 

it's supposed to be the braided looking thing that let's the pipe"flex" with the twisting of the motor. but if you got it done, I'm sure I could too.

 

Speechless

 

You run straight pipe from header to muffler your gonna get a real raspy sound.

 

only place around here that sells magnaflow is tuffy. anyone know of they do good work. i have my totally stock red cl begging me to do some modding.

 

you can get them on ebay for mad cheap.

 

oh yea... think there will be a big difference in sound bc i have a 3.0?

 

yea, it'll prolly sound better. Deeper, etc.

 

damn i got the money in pocket and im lookin at ebay almost drooling... i might order these today. 217 for both res and muffler...

 

sounds great bro im gettin a magna now lol
