Just got back from installing the precat deletes and the RV6 race pipe (non-res)... DAMN my Comptech catback ain't tame no more! Haha

Quick observations:
Super loud in 1st a low-mid RPMs... no drone in 5th (cruising)... pulls much harder at WOT (3rd)... doesn't smell bad, even at stop lights/signs... don't feel a lose of torque (like some experienced)...

Can't wait for the ECU to settle.... then it'll be time to dyno.

Man my exhaust sounds pretty good now. Should've gotten a sound clip or something.

All I can say is 1) install is a BIIIIIIITCH and my car is almost no rust 2) great mod 3) I can't imagine what a Greddy Evo2 sounds like with this. No wonder cops pull you guys over

Thanks Richie!

 

how much you pay for install?

 

A friend and I did it by ourselves so nothing!

 

Congrats man! I've heard this is a great mod I just don't think I can do catless. We will have to see.

Besides louder, did this make the exhaust sound at all "ricey" or "buzzy?" Glad to hear no torque loss thus far. After the ECU relearns everything it's going to run even better. There is a noticeable difference in each gear? If so, that's pretty damn good!

 

Um we heard a TINY rasp when I let go of WOT and a small backfire. Haha

I haven't heard it the exhaust from the outside yet but my friend said its much deeper now... nothing ricey or buzzy. Pretty throaty...

Can't wait for my cold start tomorrow morning!

I have a 5AT so... I just did WOT in 2nd and 3rd. 5th, like I mentioned before has no drone. I'll see how things go tomorrow.

 

JM, can you upload some videos?

I'll be having same sort of set up soon and want to get a feel of what to expect , also list your set up I know that you have CT cat back as well.

 

Good on ya man! I can't imagine how this would sound on my car either. If I do this mod, I will definitely change out the greddy.

 

BTW that back fire from the comptech sounds ridiculously sweet.

 

Rasp= car is cold

Friend= richie v6

 

Yeah I'll get some soon. Just gotta find someone to record them.
My set up is: RV6 deletes -> j pipe -> race pipe -> CT catback exhaust
How does one back fire on purpose?
Yeah, Greddy + deletes = headache

Hahaha correcto.
I didn't get any rasp this morning driving to work.

Anyway, 30 miles since installation and no CEL yet

 

Put it in sport shift drive it all the way up to 6k rpm and let it slow down itself rather than up shifting .

BTW PUT UP VIDEOS ASAP

 

^ Yes sir!

Oh another thing... we opted to remove the (black) axle heat shield during the install due to some members "complaining" about the cold rattle.

 

NICE Jason!!....i gotta hear this now!

 

whats the easiest/quickest way for me to get some of these? any help would be appreciated!

 

Hell yeah!

PM Richie V6 (who's an official AZ vendor now!) and he can give you the details.
His stock is low so you guys better act quick!

Heres a pretty boring video I recorded on my way to work.
Inside the cabin... 56F outside... nothing crazy. Excuse the condensation on my phone and the fast signal blinkers
Things to note though... no drone!

thanks for the info jmkiang

 

backfire on purpose, put it in neutral with the car warmed up, soon as it reaches 4500 rpms it'll backfire pop pop pop, dont do this too much

 

HAHA I won't Al. I was just curious

 

Just out of curiosity what will happen if you do the pop pop pop too much??

 

^ HAHA

I just ran a couple Google searches and I couldn't find the "damages" caused by repetitive back firing.

 

No its not the backfire that does any damage

Its the bounce off the safety cutoff that's bad

If you bang redline you backfire, the safety cutoff at 4500 rpms is a preset redline in neutral so braniacs don't vtec while in neutral

 

Awesome dude congrats. I plan on getting his jpipe, precat deletes, and race pipe for my greddy evo's And yes I know its going to loud

 

^ "Loud" is an understatement. I hope you're ready for it!

 

I wish I didn't live in California

 

^ Thats no excuse!

BTW, now all the cars that drive by seem to want to floor it and pass me. WTF?

 

that's because they can smell ur fumes in their vents

 

Maybe it's because of the smell?

 

I honestly don't know what everyone is talking about with the smell. I've driving behind Richie at WOT and didn't smell a damn thing.

 

looks like me and if are on the same page, both posted exact same thing at the exact same time

ps. they only smell you if you downshift or are revving high

 

Here are 2 more videos. Quality isn't great but you kinda get the picture.
No WOT since I was driving in my apartment complex.

Not too shabby for a CT eh?

 

jeez, my ALTP quads with race pipe and j pipe and precats sound like a greddy compared to yours, lol. but shits hot !

 

You gotta hear mine Brian, it sounds exotic, especially with the blower....

 

sounds good and much more quiet then mine, but I love being loud and fully catless..

 

anybody disagree????

 

^ Haha I can only imagine how loud the Greddy is... not for me. Would love to hear one though.

 

It's the revlimiter that he's talking about.

Backfiring is always there, just muffled by the cats when stock.

If you want a nice burble, as you're coasting down from say 4,000rpm, barely touch the gas pedal, the least amount you can, let off, and repeat.

I have to say it's pretty cool driving my turbo car obviously with no cats, when I let off the gas, many times it gets a tiny backfire but it shoots a pretty decent sized flame out of both tailpipes. If only the TL had a traditional TPS sensor you can mis-adjust it on purpose to get this effect.

 

Ehh, all depends if it sounds good or not

I see you're in Queens, what part? I'm from Long Island. I'd love to hear how your exhaust setup sounds.

 

damn..that is nice.

 

nice and deep I like

 

Yeah I'm actually happy I opted for the CT instead of the Greddy.
