yo, Tim, let me know how it goes cuz the sooner the better. I can get rid of the paint with paint stripper/remover. btw, how many coats of paint did you do? I will email you.

Faiz, yours is right in the center. the plastic garment had to be trimmed a little to fit them nabes. anyway, if you interested in the tananbes, let me know.

 

AZNBO Michael aka fellow DC5 -
lol thanks man, exhaust can produce so many diff notes and look compared to intakes which is hidden in the bay and only makes one or 2 diff notes ahah so yeh exhausts ftw

AL -
LoL come onnn mann im just trying to reach exhaust Nirvana
Better to have a set up that satisfies you rather than make you dissapointed right? haha all that is left....for me...is just to get rid of that drone...and i think i've found the perfect way.....Magnaflow 6" round 18" long XL muffler....that shit is chambered + baffles so it will ANIALATE (forgive my spelling) the drone for good....

Faiz Jazz -
lol do what makes u happy bro
for me...

1st setup magnaflow: too loud...looked stock....sounded wierd
2nd setup tanabe: wayyy too hidden and the tips didnt flow with the car imo
3rd setup 3.5" tip magna: everything is perfect....tips are just not my taste and already 2+ members have that set upahha
4th setup: just bought new tips not muffler...now its too loud so need resonator...tip looks fkn sexy tho

yupyup nirvaaanaaa

Tom -
haha i think its 2 or more coats...but teh paint is wackkkkked it seems easy to peel so u prob wont have a problem...i got the box already haha i just need to fold it now

 

B18 why not get a hushpower resonator?

 

wow never heard of it til now...that thing looks like itll make the drone stfu! damnnn but its $$$ though...i think the magnaflow XL will work too...haha forhalf the price, thanks for the recomendation

pls just call me by my name haha b18 sounds funny

 

I just finished installing the bohemeth of a resonator (mag 6x27) and for me, it's perfect.

I can still hear it in the drivers seat, pretty much on par with the CAI without the teeth rattling, headache producing drone.

Behind the car it's deeper at idle and the volume is not overpowering. I'm happy.

I put it at the end of the front heat shield and it ends just before the middle shield. It does hang lower than usual so for any slammed suspensions, it's probably drag like the front dam.

I'm done for now.

 

skunk2 custom catback in the process......

 

any pics? damn...this sounds very good lol


i see another nbp type s skunk2 in the house














ok on another note:
i THINK but im not sure...that the reason my exhaust got louder is because ive had them weld up my leak i had...Can this be possible????? i mean rather than having the sound leak out a bit now it is directly leading out...or is it the tips....what sounds more legit??? gawd if its the leak i swear ima make a hole in my exhaust -_- ahha jk

 

it is worth the price.... tim <-lmfao no more b18

 

I don't have a lift so it's impossible to take any pics.

I saw a pic when I was looking for alternatives but I'll be damned if I can find it again.

But while I was searching, it looks like at least 3 other people have done this, dragonlord, kracker and shulminator.

If you PM them, maybe they've got pics.

 

yo tim ^ you guessed it, I forwarded my hook up to mr. k up thurr and he went ahead and ordered it

unlike me though he plans to live with the drone

 

Has anyone left the stock mid-muffler and replaced the resonator with either the Magnaflow or Dynomax variant? Would it reduce the drone, yet still have a deeper exhaust note?

 

We will see how the drone is when im done

 

Dont know if anyone's done that yet, but it might make a slight difference, nothin too noticeable, I think atleast

xxafg-Dude, Drone's killer but it's not soo bad. I live with it without a problem

Official Update-
I think Tim convinced me to get quads, haha I watched that same damn video over and over and I think I'm going to do it
Right now I'm just looking at some parts, I'm going to collect the parts slowly

 

Ballin ur right...all u gotta do is blast the music everytime u drive

 

hahahah, Jazz, you going to do quads now?

xxafg786xx, you doing custom catback with skunk2s?

 

I got stage 2 right now, going to change out the mufflers in skunk2's

 

note: this is a motivational pic...not a tease!
but yeah....this is how the new tips looks....



yaya fake skies boohoo...looks like a topgear episode tho ahhaha

Tom- I dropped the package off this morning...UPS should pick it up sometime later...ill email u the tracking number

 

I hate you Tim. hahaha your killing my bank acount

 

BTW..i couldnt tell it was a fake sky ahah

 

thanks, Tim. the 07 rear lip came out nice, man.

yeah, Jazz really likes those quads now.

 

I am soooo against quad tips... but fizzle my nizzle if you do, then we can def swap bumperinos neighborino

 

hahaha I have to say...this is the picture that got my attention

And the last one he posted with the topgear theme haha is the one that kept my attention hahah
haha yeah I'll see thought because I don't have money to buy the Type S rear Aspec so I miht just have them build it so it fits the regular outlets

 

damn lookin at the topgear photo and ur tips... they look way better than stock type s... their sooo large... like damn they look like their photoshopped also lol

 

lol Faiz, the tips wont fit the regulat outlet..its WAY too narrow...its prob like 5-6" wide while the dual tips are like 8" wide lol

unless u do a REALLY good cut on ur stock bumper so its very compact that you dont have a big gap all around the tips?

nahh not photoshopped...i dont have it
fireworks mxd maybe hehehe jk

yup def looks like a beefy Type S tip....after looking at the type s tips again...it dont look that good....too small and flat imo...

 

True True...damnit haha I guess I'll keep the topspeeds for a little while then

 

single round tips loook are more aggressive and cleaner than quads, IMO. but to each his own.

 

Haha eh..In a way yeah true but
Quads, if done right, look pretty badass

 

ie. tim's setup... I think he is happy with his tips/muffler setup... but I can guarantee you from the cat to the y pipe he is going to make major changes... I still vote for him to just go cat to hushpower resonator to straight pipe

 

He has a magnaflow muffler acting as a resonator now though right? You think he should replace it with the hush?

I'd just add the hushpower if anything if it's way too loud.

I think his exhaust is perfect though

 

After about 300miles and taking an interstate hop of about 45 minutes, I am still happy with the results I got.

Definitely still a little bit of drone, but it's not overpowering. I'm not sure if I could take it if I didn't have a 6mt where I can pick where the revs are running.

It's still low and loud enough to be different but not obnoxious. I only wish we could get the deceleration growl/grumble of a 'G'....oh well.

 

haha check it out...This is what I want..

I think the Hushpower that Al recommended is very similiar to the magnaflow XL that i got...however the hushpower are 100 bucks...well the ones i found...the XL was 45 shipped...so heh why not..

XL technology:



i hope it fits...rofl
Yeah yeah its chambered...who cares...prob robbed 1whp from me...meh


KN, glad to know that solved most of ur drone issue
how bout some sound clips


Fazz-
lol those Vq do some bad ass with exhausts...my tone definitely changed....after:
1.) getting the new bigger tips
2.) sealing up my leak...


NOW...i really dont know if that slight gurgle u heard in my quad vid was caused by the leak or not....so i dont suggest u go out there and punch holes in ur pipe...haha....i shouldve just left the leak...it wasnt major anyways....now it sounds loud...thats it...not like how it was....dammit!

I should get the XL in tomorow...so ill install it asap...ill make a clip to compare teh 3 sounds:

- Quad with 3.5 tips + leak
- Quad with 4" tips + sealed no leak
- Quad with 4" tips + sealed no leak + XL Resonator Muffler

 

haah im looking forward to the clip...
dude everytime I see your car..haah i feel like i made a bi mistake by not going quads/rolled tips haha haha

 

Tim, you should open up a muffler shop with all those stuff.

 

Haha Tom, I wouldn't doubt if he already did

 

hahaha
good idea mmmmm

damn i kinda wish i had my own shop though...sometimes i wish i could just yank the tools from my muffler man and do it myself....ive been to that shop over 40 times (past cars incl)



i might just invest in a welding torch....and buy prebent pipes...
but damn i dont have a high enough lift....meh ill just do it on jacks..ROFL jk...

 

hahahah you can hook me up too right

 

my boy did his ford truck with one of those torches thats like a spray can sized... look into it, pretty sure it aint rocket science cuz my muffler guy is like fresh off the boat

 

hahah..Damn and his exhaust came out nicely or kinda funky?

 

um well he did straight pipe and it was bad ass... I have no idea where he bought that little welder but he also welded a roll cage on his gas car with it... I am really good at searching but cant find it (scratches his head)
