Has anyone ever straighpiped there exhaust? I unbolted the exhaust from the cat back to hear what it would sound like... sounded like a rice burner with a fart can! just a tip to those who want to straight pipe theres... DON"T DO IT just my

 

^ i've been posting that all the time when people wanted to take off their resonator/mid muff and replace it with a straight pipe..

if type-s, it sounds different...

 

i would just go atlp all the way... too bad i don't have the money.
Looks like u got a genesis coupe jjashaa! 3.8 i'm guessing? Great choice!

 

^ or tanabe. i would have def picked up a tanabe SMH if it wasn't for myself getting ATLP to make us an exhaust. haha.

and yes i did. there's a thread on the Car Talk section. =] thanks!

 

Lucky! how much did it run?

 

How different does the type s sound with a straight?

 

not much different. basically don't do it!

 

go to Car Talk and you'll see there..
people have said it did sound a bit louder but i wouldn't kno, i had a base.. haha

 

my friend has a type-s and it sounded throatier but it still sounded like a fart can.

 

No fart can here as i'm a type s with a straight pipe installed after removing mid muffler and resonator.

 

right but you have 2 mufflers at the rear right? I think they are talking about straight pipes from the cat all the way to the rear exit, no mufflers at all.

 

 

oh please post a video clip i would like to hear how it sounds, it may be a nice cheap mod for me

 

This is basically what it sounds like straight pipe (i had a cat on in this vid, yes there are mufflers but there are straight pieces of pipe blocking off the baffles inside so they are bypassed (my loud tips as i call them)

^^ wow sounds nice... now is that ur stock cat? or aftermarket? and when u straight pipe did u get rid of ur thing that looks like a giant can? in front of the mid muf

 

Stock cat and yes i removed the resonator and mid muffler between the cat and mufflers

 

You guys also have to realise that the actual piping is bigger too...


Sounds nice though

 

What are you taking about? That was stock pipe, stock exhaust manifold (no header).

 

i think he's talking about the piping you replaced the stock resonator and mid muffler with

 

No, I actually did think he had bigger pipes... mine doesn't sound like that, and its straight piped

 

^probably because you have your mufflers on the end. he put a pipe through his mufflers so it bypasses the baffles (plates in the muffler that direct the air through the can to change the sound). so his mufflers are there for aesthetic purposes. but if you ditched your mufflers, then idk lol

 

I have a test pipe, no resonator and removed the mufflers... didn't sound as good as that... But that was just like a day thing to see how it sounded.... too much time on my hands... lol

 

With my new exhaust i have dual 2.25 piping all the way back to the mufflers. In that vid it was the stock pipe with stock dia pipe replacing the mid muffler and resonator.

 

 

Thats the only one I have heard that sounds good with the eliminations. Every other post I heard sounds like crap and I mean every single one I have heard. I want to do that to mine it sounds awesome.

 

did you make a new mid-pipe or did you just cut out and weld in sections?

 

i ditched my mid muffler and tried a straight pipe recently. absloutely hated the sound. horrible. but i think that's cuz i have XS headers which resonate somewhat at certain rpm. the next day, i cut the straight pipe back out and welded the mid muff back in and it sounded fine, just like before i messed with it. imo, don't do it, especially with aftermarket headers (other then something quality like CT's).

 

I have my type-s straight piped. it sounds ricey at startup when cold, but when it warms up, its nice and deep.

 

Cut the res and mid muffler out and fabed in a new piece of pipe
