Cool DIY Y-pipe = done! Turbo = ON! (pics and sound)

Exhaust-I
Exhaust-II


Two things to understand:
1) The car is uber rich, having not been run on the new pump, and I haven't re-tuned the SMT-6 to compensate.
2) The only sound deading is the Turbo. No muffler/Resonator
3) It was a vad mic, so it's going to be more tinny than it really is (Live, it's deep as a mother right now)
Because of 2 & 3 it's high, raspy and loud. I'll re-use the stock resonator to get the rasp out whenever I get around with it to kill the rasp.












In actuality, the only part hanging below the frame rails is the wastegate actuator. It peeps it's head down about 1". So no, I doubt it'll ever get ripped off. Maybe next time me and my friend get together for an Import Hill Climb it might get dirty. But that's the worst I think it'll ever see.





I really like how it goes wwwweeeeeEEEEEEEE .... SSSSssssss .... ER!!! That's cool =)









In short. If you're not McElligott, Tony, or Justin,
My exhaust > yours!!! :clap: :lol:

Got a pic of the custom Y pipe as a whole or did you glue everything together under the car? .. as you know from the other thread. i'm in need of one. and i probably go custom if it's almost the same price(150 bucks from the web for OEM, unsure of used/new) and upgrade performce. .. i think i broke it when i hit a pothole. and you know/feel when something broke..

sounds great!! I had that same sound on my camry when i had the Turbo on it. At first i just had the Down pipe as the exhaust until i could get it mated to the Greddy Evo. IMO get the Evo... you'll love the new sound!

Cool

No you need nitrous, my turbo can spool in park !

I need a big intercooler like you. The DSM intercooler you gave me was too big to side mount, and too small to front mount without just being silly.
