the X will always flow better than an H....the new muffler has a 3" internal pipe and hence even better flow....The H will sound better/exotic as the pressure is equalized....
ahhaa....tomorrow I will upload 6-8 videos....

Congrats on being the first.....funny how to most it sounds loud,but to me it sounds fine and much quieter then what I had lol, then I got the RV6 TD Exhaust and solved all my problems, but IMHO i think my exhaust is too quiet now lol....must be a Honda 4cyl thing.......nway waiting for some dyno numbers and more vids
also nice kill on that GTI stage1

dude, it looks good, cant wait to see the pictures after you move the xmuffler back.. hopefully it will help.. everything I have googled said it would.. but that is google and not realy life... need to save up some money to do a custom exhaust as well.. going to talk to a shop this week.. question though is how much does a true dual help over say a single 2.5 going back? I know a true dual allows more exhuast to flow but isnt their a concern that the exhuast fumes will cool down and not push out as fast?

Nope cudnt race Justn but did race a VW GTI with Stage 1 tune. He said he was putting down around ~ 250whp and around the same torque....We ran from 50mph - 110mph and I took him by 1/2 car length....when i shifted from 2nd to 3rd (5AT) i was kinda close to the redline and the car took a slight second to shift, else I would have had him by a car length for sure....
I gotta take my car to the track....need some motivation LOL
I realize 5AT and 6MT TL's are totally different beasts, but I would've thought you'd be much faster than a Stage 1 GTI.

by changing the muffler the tone got a little deeper and I dont feel the exhaust is raspy at all....
....she is my DD, veggie....in due time I will look into messing with the internals....this way i will keep the NA engine and make more power dude, it looks good, cant wait to see the pictures after you move the xmuffler back.. hopefully it will help.. everything I have googled said it would.. but that is google and not realy life... need to save up some money to do a custom exhaust as well.. going to talk to a shop this week.. question though is how much does a true dual help over say a single 2.5 going back? I know a true dual allows more exhuast to flow but isnt their a concern that the exhuast fumes will cool down and not push out as fast?
this was practically the only location to fit a damn 20" muffler in there....because the merge is so close to the engine, my low end seems to have woken up....I feel more power low and mid range....
2.25" thats why its the ideal ID for true duals....its narrow enough to give you low end and its wide enough to not hurt your high end....
Not to burst your bubble, but a GTI MKV/MKVI with Stage 1 is only putting down 220-230 whp at most. I took down a Stage 1 GTI 6 spd with my TL when I was bone stock - they trap under 100 mph and run like mid 14's in the 1/4.
I realize 5AT and 6MT TL's are totally different beasts, but I would've thought you'd be much faster than a Stage 1 GTI.

About his car....he said he was pushing ~250 to the wheels...I dont know what other mods he had....
About my car....1st: its way heavier than his car....2nd: had a passenger....3rd: had tons of luggage in the trunk (since I was traveling to Texas)...not trying to make excuses, just stating the facts....
I did race a lightly modded 3G and took him by 3-4 car length from 50-90mph...
Recently I also ran against a mustang 305 and took him by ~4 car length from 50-100mph....
The shifts were perfect in those races and I was running a little lighter (no luggage + no passengers)
Dude now that your up and working take a look at this thread LOL...

yup I think RV6 is a great exhaust for the $$$....and it sounds good too...
by changing the muffler the tone got a little deeper and I dont feel the exhaust is raspy at all....
....she is my DD, veggie....in due time I will look into messing with the internals....this way i will keep the NA engine and make more power
Didnt move the muffler back since there is no space there this was practically the only location to fit a damn 20" muffler in there....
because the merge is so close to the engine, my low end seems to have woken up....I feel more power low and mid range....
2.25" thats why its the ideal ID for true duals....its narrow enough to give you low end and its wide enough to not hurt your high end...
I did fuck my shift from 2nd to 3rd...(yes in an Auto)....I hit the rev limiter and it took a split second to shift....if that shift would have gone fine, I would have had him comfortably....
About his car....he said he was pushing ~250 to the wheels...I dont know what other mods he had....
About my car....1st: its way heavier than his car....2nd: had a passenger....3rd: had tons of luggage in the trunk (since I was traveling to Texas)...not trying to make excuses, just stating the facts....

Thanks Steven
The old convertibles (1999-2002 something like that)....they have like 305hp to the crank and he was a Manual....so am guessing 260-ish to the wheels....
i really wanna put her on the dyno see how much am at....

If you notice in the video when she overtakes me, she is almost in my lane
....after the video when I looked in my rear view mirror she swerved into a lane with a old dude driving a Z06.....I was shit not the vette....but yeah she does pull me all those videos/pictures favors....she is nice like that LOL....
when am working on my car...she sits besides me....hands me the ratchet and stuff....and now she knows what Drone/Rasp/Manifold/Spacer and all that is....
hahaSpeaking of Mustangs (which I was a big fan of in the 80's), I went for a ride in my buddy's 07 Roush Mustang with 460whp. I have to say it went pretty good. Anyway, I played your video on my phone the first time and just played it now on the lappy. I think your car sounds incredable. The deep tone is unique and sounds fukn mean. Post up if you do get to a Dyno(as if you wouldn't)LOL!
(as if you wouldn't)LOL!any guesses on how much a fully bolted on 5AT will be pushing ?

have you attempted to look into the 'spiral core stuff?
this is a car that i know 100% had them
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhNIeZ7FzwU
while this car (mine) had regular old type mufflers (2 of them, no resonator or cats, but TT)
http://www.youtube.com/user/bobthebu.../5/-VNx_O_Nqak
maybe this helps?

well the tip mufflers are discontinued i think. Fast Intentions had them and never heard anything else. although it looks like sport bikes use this style in aftermarket pipes.

^^^ dude i just read up couple things about it....it sounds great but I read that the sprial doesnt flow as well....the thing is I want minimal restrictions in my exhaust....i want to flow to be nice and smooth....
am thinking about:
1> heat wrapping the exhaust....
2> venturi tube...maybe
I am looking into dynomax VT mufflers for the rear's....i think that will make it sound deeper....what do you say ?

You need to look into a set of resonators between the X-pipe and mufflers. That will clean up the sound quiet a bit. You'll loose some volume, but it will also knock out a lot of drone and rasp. Resonators won't kill power either. I promise you that.
Who did the work in Kansas City? Seems REALLY pricey.

with the design, I wanted to keep it very simple with a X pipe in a muffler and mufflers back there...
I still need to try something and this shop is getting very expensive....you got any shops you recommend ?
