bro i know what you mean and am NOT asking anyone to ditch their catbacks....while buying a catback these are the things in mind:

1> sound
2> HP
3> TQ
4> fitment
5> quality
6> brand
7> cost

remember i asked you to list 7 things...also the cost is in the bottom....if i see an exhaust (magically offering me) more TQ/HP than any system out there and is selling for $3K....man i will be all up on it....

again the list might differ from person to person....for you brand might be up top....and cost again in the bottom....now since we good on that....i wanna say

I LOVE AZINE VENDORS.....man if i had a chance i would work for them for FREE....wish someone had a shop here....i would be in there all weekend long (sorry gotta make some $$$ thro the week).....i have personally dealt with ATLP (mike), XLR8 (josh), RV6 (Richie)...and i found each to be a very through businessman and more than that a professional with respect to customer satisfaction and craftsmanship.....their products are bad ass.....

and yeah i do come to DFW pretty often....bad part is i dont leave the airport .... next time am there will come for an extra day and have this discussion after couple patron shots

Wow really.

Ok any SS exhaust with tig welds will last if done right. Its not that complicated.

And yes I will bring out the dad card when *(insert insulting word for me so I don't get banned) like you and Soljah brag about having more money than me...im 17 I mean WTF...you MUST be successful if you have more dough than me.

And WTF are you posting for? This thread may as well be moved to OT. Its always you that brings trouble champ...

I really hope this thread doesn't get locked before someone responds to my post.

I love the idea of a custom exhaust like most of you. Could you please explain to me though why I have yet to see one person post about how there custom exhaust provides more gains then the ones provided to us by the vendors? I mean the 3G TL has been out for seven years now and I have still yet to see this. So could one of you please go and make a custom exhaust for half the price of a premade one while providing better gains.

TheChamp531- No offense but AtlM5 is right.. I have noticed from reading your posts in the past that you instigate a lot.

I don't have the thread but I remember one of the SC AV6 guys that posted pics of a nice true dual exhaust he had made. Ill have to find the thread tomorrow. Ill eventually build my exhaust and it will have larger piping and mandrel bends so itll have better gains than the RV6 exhaust. Ill have to get a dyno to prove the gains to certain people.

Please get back to us on that. Any idea when your gonna be starting this project?

And actually I just remembered reading something about Opels exhaust a long time ago. He wouldn't share any information about it though since he didn't want anyone to steal his design.

I don't think some people get it. Vendors would have used wider piping if there wasn't a sacrifice.

Also, AtlM5, don't let your age define how much money you can have, I have paid for every mod done to my car by simply working. I suggest a job.

dtown don't talk about things you don't know about. I have payed for every mod done to my car by working as well. It really pisses me off when U assume shit like that. If a 30 year old wants to brag about having more money than a 17 year old im gonna point out that age difference.

I'm not sure when I'll do the exhaust. Probably a few months. I had to quit my job for football but I'll get another one in a couple weeks and then the exhaust is a few mods back on the list. 2.5in piping will be fine and it will be even better with FI.

No idea where your getting this information from.

"An exhaust pipe diameter of more than 2.5" presents a few problems.
First, exhaust gas is pretty hot when it comes out the engine, and as such, isn't very dense. This means that the exhaust gas will be faster and won't have to have as much work done on it to move it out the tailpipe. Now, if a larger pipe is installed, the exhaust gas will slow down due to the increased volume it gets to flow through, and it will also have a smaller restriction it has to overcome compared to a smaller diameter pipe. This is good, up to a point. An exhaust that has to slow down too much, such as from a too-large pipe selection, will spend a long time in the pipe and cool down. This makes the exhaust gas more dense, and will cause the engine to work harder to push the gas out the tailpipe.
Second, there is the problem of physically mounting the pipe underneath the car. A high-performance system will include bends that are free of stress kinks, and are generally smooth. These bends have to have some sort of minimum bend radius which varies as a function of pipe diameter. If the bend radius of the pipe is too small compared to its diameter, it poses a restriction. Now, pipes larger than 2.5" diameter have a bend radius that won't comfortably fit under the car. It quickly becomes an exercise in frustration to try to fit such a pipe under the car.
Finally, weight is a consideration. Larger pipes weigh more. Presumably, the idea for replacing the factory exhaust with a larger high-performance one was to have performance in mind. Well, an overly large diametered exhaust will weight so much that it'll affect the car's acceleration. This weight will also have to be supported by more hangers underneath the car."
