Let's see some pictures? :biggrin:

Papethova · 01-12-2009, 03:19 PM

OK I have some pics and a sound clip. Ill take some sound clips while driving today too, it sounds very different with a load on the engine. Lets see if I can get these to post.....

Papethova · 01-12-2009, 03:21 PM

Here are 2 pics of the rear, you can see the mesh insert in my diffuser as well.

Papethova · 01-12-2009, 03:27 PM

Some from underneath....

Papethova · 01-12-2009, 03:32 PM

Guys I dont know how to post the sound clip if someone wants to walk me through it ill do it. Or I can email to someone who wants to host it.

dim135 · 01-12-2009, 04:34 PM

awesome!

ChrisK · 01-12-2009, 05:10 PM

Nice pictures! I can't wait to here it.

However...Maybe I'm nuts, but that exhaust looks identical to the images posted awhile back.

I don't see the resonator in these pics. Otherwise, it looks about the same, especially if you're referencing the angle and fitment of the muffler.

Maybe it is, I cant be sure, but I dont have the resonator and the pipes leading up to the muffler are closer together on mine (judging from the pics). Not really any significant difference.

The only thing that bothers me is the angle of the muffler. :iono:

It looks like an install done by the corner muffler shop. It's just my perfectionist nature.

I do like the unrestricted line of the pipes.

I agree... the pipes look like they have perfect bends. As for the muffler, a few of the exhausts available have angled mufflers, they seem to fit nicely.

Someone is going to host the sound clips for me. I spent some time listening to these yesterday and the mic just doesnt pick up the sound correctly. I will have a few posted but I just want to say the sound is more diluted on the clips. All clips were taken while in the car. Ill have to get someone to take some from behind me so you can get a better feel for the sound.

Ill be posting one with the car parked idling and revving it up, another driving under a bridge so you can hear it resonate and a few just driving around.

morscode · 01-13-2009, 11:13 AM

Here's the sound clips Papethova sent over. I'm hosting these on my site, so for bandwidth purposes, I stripped the video and just made them mp3's.

Thanks for taking the time to make these clips.

Parked

Stop Sign

Bridge

On Ramp

Papethova · 01-13-2009, 11:24 AM

Thanks 1mor, Im not too happy with the way these sound. Its not accurate to what it really sounds like in person. I will try to get some fly by clips or something that is more accurate.

All these clips except for the parked one were from inside the cabin with the windows down.
