my new (custom) exhaust

my new (custom) exhaust
i was planning on running duals from the headers back. completely true dual system was going to be made by cutting the j pipe from the runner downpipes and connecting them with an H pipe.
unfortunately...my exhaust guy was arrested for fraud the day-of
i decided to save some cash and make a custom 2.5 cat-back with a good Y split and nice mufflers....
oh boy this sounds guuuuuuuuuuuud
gooooodddd
better than any exhaust that are available for 2nd gens imo.
but im biased

damn, that looks nice...any sound clips coming? Im thinking of getting a custom one done myself down the road..are those custom mufflers as well? or just the pipe back? what mufflers did u use if you dont mind asking? I was planning on going with the good ol Magna Flow 14832's as my basic muffler setup, but that looks sweet

I love mine, i saw a good increase in topend with my setup. I would like to change the setup a little to quiet it down a little and put a cat back on to get rid of the rasp but i love the sound. When i do my 3.5 conversion ill probably do a true dual with a X pipe

I spent a little less, but i used my comptech mufflers. I have a raspy sound at certain RPM that i am going to try to eliminate.

Ahhh, I see. That's really nice craftsmanship - many shops around here do really sloppy jobs welding that stuff.
I'm just curious, I live in the northeast - so I'm wondering what's the best material to use for the pipes to fight against rust and damage from salt during the winter? (stainless steel?)
On a side note, I thought that all TL's already have a true dual exhaust set-up. The quads don't release that much more backpressure than what we already have, right? That's what a shop told me when I wanted to do quad tips to get more power.

Look under the car. We dont have true dual exhaust. We have a single pipe that goes to a Y then to 2 mufflers. And you WONT get more power with quad tips over single.

Well according to Comptechs Dyno results, there are no gains, while the ATLP claims some gains, not easy to find a good custom shop where im at to get one done ..wondering if perhaps GReddy has any gains? not really wanting that fart can type a set up, I know they are discontinued for the CL, but i know a place that has one...wondering if i should jump on it or cut the ATLP to fit the CL...

Here's the thread I made after installing a Greddy Evo 2 setup. The first set of pics is before I tucked the tips, and the video/sound clips are before I installed the third new gasket. It generally sounds the same, only tighter and I love the sound, minus some resonance in the lower rpms. The tips are a little big, but I won't be needing to worry about it soon.
Phee that's a nice setup you have there and I'm looking forward to hearing some sound clips soon.

All depends on how its done. Does the shop use all mandrel bent pipe? single pipe or dual like we have? I never dynoed it but i can say there was a increase in upper end power.
