GOOD MAN lol

 

after driving an LT1 for 8 years with full exhaust/headers/cams....everything else is just quiet




LOUD 4 me

 

Good job!, this is exactly the route that i'm going to take. I got a 3" downpipe and i need to make a totally custom everything else. So this is the route for me.

 

"how to make a free flowing quite 3" exhaust lots of pics!!!!"

SPELLING:1
RICEBALL:0

 

I like noises.

LOUD!

 

soundclips?

 

i dont get why people always try to go half-*** on their cars......you cant have quiet and power, there is no such thing. i understand that he just wanted to have a quiet exhaust and not make any power, but my question then is, why by an evo to have a quieter, slower evo?

 

i have a similar set up actually. the magnaflow 3" cat-back. its definitely quiet. and i didnt really want quiet, lol, but whatever i definitely saw and felt more ponies. i do want to switch, so im not fully backing the magnaflow. if your looking for quiet exahust and a solid power gain then yeah its okay, but other systems can do a lot better.

 

1) this exhaust is not going to make the Evo slower. have you seen a stock Evo exhaust?

2) if absolute power is what you're looking for, why did you buy an Evo in the first place. the Evo is by no mean the fastest car on the market. an Evo is a compromise between speed, economy, and practicality.

3) some people don't mind compromising a couple hp for drivability and this exhaust will gain hp over stock while not increasing noise level by much.

4) are you saying you don't go half-*** on your car? do you drive around on race gas, on R-compound tires with ceramic brake pads?

 

there is nothing half assed about this guys exhaust, you can be more quiet and still make the same power, that is the whole point. the shape and design of the muffler can make a quieter exhaust that still flows good. alot of these ricer exhausts and BOVs are designed to make noise and be loud more than anything else.

Its basically a 3" straight back pipe, there is no loss of power unless there is a restriction. as was mentioned mandrel bends are always better for flow but I can't see that welds here on this minor bend on a 3" pipe are gonna make a difference. the welds could be prettier I guess but I don't see how this is a compromise in power.

 

hurumpf

 

eh..
i guess.. since you live in cali.
for the idea. but that shops welding is doodoo

 

Man, for being such a evo guru, you should know it doesnt matter the brand of an exhaust as far as hp figures. That the main idea would be as straight and least restrictive as possible. wow, im suprised that you dont know from all your know it all posts all of this forum. I think that your more woried about spelling and grammer, then evo stuff.

 

Good concept, would have loved if he could've backed it up on the dyno...loud is not always good. I Doubt, and i'm not a rocket scientist, doubt that this is as effective as one preaches.
Many muffler shops hype up their work, and try to throw their accomplishments at you so you think "wow, 8sec cars, they must know their isht" ...who knows what they did on those 8sec cars, that's another story.
I'm sure it's quiet and will make more power than the stock unit but to compare to other less restricted exhausts is, interesting. If sound is reduced to silence, i can bet you lunch air flow is to.

On a less skeptical note. Welds are nice, exhaust(muffler) looks good

 

that exhaust looks like butthole. I'd be embarrassed to put that on my car.

I bought my 2 week used Helix catback for 350 shipped - better construction, most likely lighter, and most likely makes more power.

I win, you lose.
