great work on the stainless steel exhaust, but i would have done an x-pipe instead of an h-pipe for better flow. either way it sounds great and should outlast the car itself!

quick question, did you have to get into the interior of the car to remove the oxygen sensors? if i remember correctly there is no plug under the car, it's inside under the carpet.

I realize the factory exhaust is restrictive, just curious if you noticed any performance gains??

Looks beautiful but I've never been a fan of rasp. A couple of resonators would be ideal IMO.

LexSam74 02-01-16 01:31 PM

Actually, it doesn't sound raspy at all. The quality of the recording makes it sound raspy. The car is still very quiet at idle and when driving. ;)

Oxygen sensors was easy, no need to take carpet out. X-pipe would be fine but I'm an old school guy, I prefer H-pipe. :D

And yes, you really can feel the performance gain. :thumbup:

Impressive. Looks even better underneath.

Is exhaust custom? or bolt on? if it is custom no disrespect.

My friend is a professional welder. He did this job and it took 38 hours of working. Then of course all the material. The total was $1100. At first I was WTF when he said the price but then I realized how much work he has done.

timmy0tool 02-02-16 11:12 AM

yep that sounds about right, esp with mandel bent stainless steel! your friend does great work. thanks for the disclosure.
