Default 3" Exhaust system

The is the view of 3" pipe under the car. All tubings are mandrel bend and its a custom job. I also spray the exhaust system with a hi-temperature protection.

Thumbs up

Looks great man, it's very shiny and I bet it sounds great!

2 things, first your plate is showing and you might want to hide it.
And lastly, make a video of that bad boy and rev it up!

Thanks for the recommandation. Thanks to Photoshop. By the way, its dual 3" exhaust system.

I think its little too loud. I will put two hi-flow resonator in soon. My friend said its sounded like a V8 Mustang GT.

After the 2 3" exhaust system installed. Its just too loud. Few days later, i ask the shop to install two 3" resonators. Currently, its still loud. I am going to ask the muffler shop to install two additional resonators. Total of four 3" resonators and two Magflow mufflers.

The twin turbo is done. I have been driving it for about 3 weeks now. I had some problem with the oil pump and vibration from the mounting of the pump. Now its solved. Initially, i flooded my turbos, now my MAS is full of oil. I think i need a new MAS. Other than that, its runing pretty good.

Waiting for save up more money to do fuel modifications and increase boost.

Silver, I don't know what year LS you have but the GS has a different exhaust system. GS vs LS: less restrictive primary resonator, high flow Y section vs. restrictive Y pipe, straight through secondary resonators vs silencers on the LS.

Pulling the final mufflers off my 99 resulted in a surprisingly small increase in sound. Adding Borlas to my silencers would probably be barely noticable from stock. Also, the Borla is not a cat back application. Only a final muffler change. A full TRUE cat back is much more complicated and expensive... HHs system is a FULL system, would be a true cat back if he had cats
