wow that sounds good!!!!!!!!

[gsrtype1]

i know its sounds bad ass if you delete the last resinator its 100% better i had ther same set up as you did it was great and after i deleted the last one its is meannnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!

[gsrtype1]

I only wanted to do 2 of them first and see what it sounds like.I really like the way it sounds now.I dont want it too loud and I dont want any raspy sound.I can always go back and take the last one off.
See if you can get a better sound clip from the back of the car like I did mine.I would like to hear it better before I go and remove the last resonator since you cant just put it back on if you dont like it.

exactly my thoughts. I do not like the raspy sound at all!! gsrtype yours sounds like that a bit(raspy). It could just be the video though. for sure want to hear a better sound clip of it

i thought the same thing, and then i said screw it, im telling you its better, its still nonintrusive at idle and on they highway , its just signifacnlty meaner sounding when you floor it. if you eventually do it you will see what im saying, the roar is addicting!!!!.

[gsrtype1]

the cell phone really makes it sound crappy, it sounded the same when i had 2 resinators off kinda rapsy, listen to how much better shark's vid sounds , its the video camera

Ya I know you waited also,I just wanted to see how I liked it.Im going to wait a week or so before I make a decsion or see if you get a better clip to hear.
It really sounds so much better then stock and it didnt cost that much.Thanks for the idea gsrtype1.

[controlo]

exactly which ones did you remove? just the muffler/resonator at the tip and then the closest one to that? sounds real good man. i'm doing it for sure.

yes..they are right next to each other at the end of the exhaust.

I went in today to look at doing this and the shop mgr said I would be stupid if I cut them out that it would simply be for noise and no performance gains. He said that the stock system looks better then anything he can offer and that a SS mandrel bent stock system is pretty trick to start with.

I chose to not cut out anything and leave it in place because he said he wouldnt touch it if it were his car.

Those vids do sound good but if there is no performance gain to be had I wont go chopping up a nice stock system that is as good as it can get.

Like I said,I didnt do it for performance but for a better sound.Not everything I do to my car makes it faster,Some things I do make it look better and sound better.And there is nothing hard about cutting out a resonator and putting in a straight pipe even if the exhaust has mandrel bends.I didnt have them replace the whole back end,I kept the mandrel bends in there.The guy did say that it would be easier for him to just replace the whole pipe from the resonator back but I said no and to just cut out the peaces and leave the bends.
For only $110 Im very happy with the new sound and would do it again if I had the chance.Its your loss.

[SharkDiver]

Oops..I thought I said in this thread that this was not done for performance.I said that in gsrtype1s thread..
Ill say it again here..I didnt do this for any performance gains but for sound.

[controlo]

sounds good man. i'm gonna do it next week.

Where I went I told them about you guys doing this and he said it would be stupid to cut into the pipe like that and not do a 1 piece. You are breaking up the pipe with pipes and different pieces welded together, no loss for me just better choices.

[controlo]

but then again, just because "the master technician" at the muffler shop said it was stupid doesn't make it true.

[whitey4311]

Not stupid just Ricey and adds noise but if I wanted that he had no problem telling me how to do it. However cutting into the stock CBE and adding sections of pipe is a piss poor way of doing this. If I did this it would be a custom bent up 2.5 nch mandrel bent pipe or nothing but seeing as it will cost me a few bucks and add nothing more then noise he said why bother.

Bottom line is if you want noise and have limited money put sections of pipe in there and hope you dont loose performance. If you want to ensure some level of retaining the performance do a 2.5 inch CBE that is 1 piece to accomodate the already 2.5 DP or go crazy and go with the 3inch turbo back to get gains.

If your shop dont do mandrel bending then I would not remove the whole pipe because it has alot of bends in the back where it goes over the axle.If he thinks you should remove that and replace it with a standard bent pipe then hes crazy.Just welding a 2.5" pipe in the place of the resonators dont cause any problems.You seem to be saying that exhausts should not have any welds because if you are using all the same size pipe I dont know what your point is...

They do mandrel bending but he said he cant make anything that would help performance in any way compared to stock. He said a mandrel bent system he can do with out resontaors would just make it loud but thats all I would be paying for.

On the other hand he said to cut out sections and weld pipe in there is not the best way to do it and at that point he suggests not touching it or going the full one piece pipe.

Your car so its all good if you like having miss matched sections of piep welded to your SS mandrel bent system that was stock. I would do it the right way or leave it alone but thats just me.

[gsrtype1]

i got my sisters video camera .. are yall ready to rock or what

[gsrtype1]

whitney dont be a dumbass you only cut the fuckin mulfflers "resinators" off, manderal is only important in the bends youve asked that 20 times do you finally get it?

[gsrtype1]

i lost my firewire card on my computer so ill get one tommorow and post some quality vids with all3 resinators gone

[controlo]

haha. so i guess people who put mufflers on their cars shouldn't, because its different piping than stock... haha. in that case, you'll need a turbo manifold, downpipe, test pipe, catback.

[gsrtype1]

what ever man, if you ever delete all 3 resinators it may take you forever to figure it out .. remeber this conversation please!!!

[whitey4311]

Cutting and adding 3 sections of pipe in a nicely stock system is what he said he wouldnt suggest doing. A solid piece with a muffler on the end is the best way thats all I am saying here.

You mean to tell me you dont think having 3 sections of the CBE interupted by welds and sectioned pipe wont do anything to air flow? I am no mechanic but I did ask one and he said it would be a stupid way of doing it and not the right way.

Like I would buy a CBE with section welds in it to replace my stock system thats nice and smooth, lol.

Whatever whitey..You just better stay away from this mod,Its obviously not for you.

[whitey4311]

Not really a mod its just a piss poor way in making your car louder for a few bucks.

Trust me I thought about doing it and stood there talking to the guy but if I did do this it wouldnt be cutting out sections of an already well built system. Still thinking about doing a 2.5 CBE custom piece but not sure how much the noise will be on the inside and struggle with spending money on something that does nothing for the car due to its already good system.

[controlo]

whitey, don't you realize that the resonators are welded pieces to the mandrel bent pipe to begin with? its not just a bump in the piping. this exhaust guy doesn't know what he's talking about...

[whitey4311]

He said that as well but said it wouldnt disrupt anything. But if I were to cut them out it would be a much better job to do a 1 piece.

Thats cool if you guys want to go about it that way but not me. I am still thinking of going back and telling him I want some noise, :) and doing the 2.5 mandrel bent 1 piece.

[controlo]

yeah, i'm deciding between a custom catback and just removing 2 resonators. i'm waiting to hear those quality clips from gsr with all three removed. i know that i really like the sound of just 2 removed.

[whitey4311]

If you do it I would leave the first resonator in place since its closest to the driver and will tone down some of the noise. This is what the muffler dude told me anyway and it makes sense.

[controlo]

yeah, i was thinking the one at the tip and the one closest to that.

[SharkDiver]

gsrtype1 put up a better video at you tube..
search for

here is the link for the video

hey shark cool boost guage, im working on getting one where do you stck the tube through the firewall? isthat your boost guage in your side picure

[whitey4311]

Sounds horibble like there is a leak in the pipe or something.

I think you guys should start a club of hacked exhaust pipes, lol. You can call it pipe hackers, ghey!

[gsrtype1]

there is no leaks in the exhaust you just want something to be wrong becuase your afraid to mod

[whitey4311]

Sorry man just wait until people here that shit. Sounds pretty nasty like there is something wrong. Those are the cars that I pull up next to and laugh at how fucking ghetto they sound.

I would do it right and get yourself a CBE with a nice muffler to tone down that gurgle it has.

[gsrtype1]

you just want something to be wrong, it sounds badass. your just jealous and you keeping repaeting posts cuase you relize im right and you where wrong...lol

[whitey4311]

Dude you have posted about your stupid hack job in every thread for weeks now trying to have someone affirm that is sounds good and it doesnt so just be honest with your self.

[gsrtype1]

i am honest, its awsome.., i took a risk not knowing how it would sound... its sounds deep and mean just what i would be looking for in a 6 to 7hunded dollar exhuast. your one of those people where evrything has to be "offical" .. or there something wrong with it. if its not made by a "company" and you dont have to pay a lot of money then you will find something wrong with it

[controlo]

jeez guys, when does the flame session end? whitey: why don't you start a club that uses sharpies to fill in chipped paint? you could call it sharpie boys. gay.

[controlo]

i'd say both.

[whitey4311]

You honestly think it sounds good?

You dont hear the gurgle it has like its choking?

[JFREEMAN]

his car is not choking you biggest moran who ever lived!!! it has less restriction those resinators grab air and create backpressure. dude you are an EXTREME dumbass!!!! all freeflow exhaust burble an belch

Heres another clip of me driving with the windows down.I know the sound and vid kinda suck but who cares.I cant find my good camera.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyN1Cq0wMA4

GSR I mean Jfreeman you are such an idiot its not even funny any more. Your drunk talk is old news man get a life.

A less ignorant person who gets banned and changes their name would atleast post a few times and stay low key with out speaking in 3rd person, lol what a fucking tool!

[lilchild87]

hey sharkdiver can i remove those resonators out from my protege too, to make it sound a lil bit louder??

Thanks

i knew it was him when he posted that thread about rap and misspelled your name with an "N"... he always spells it Whitney, or Whintey. haha.

haha.

To be honest I have no idea...I would think it would make it a bit louder but I dont know what it will sound like.Ask the protege guys what they think,Maybe someone has done that already.
I really cant be more happy with the way mine sounds now.Im not going to remove the last resonator because it sounds nice and deep now with a low rumble to it.My money was well spent on this mod and would recoment it to anyone with a MS3.

[knowledge007]

this thread went to shit...???

[shane02pro5]

It will be louder but most likely you will lose power unless you have a turbo. The point is to have less backpressure to allow faster spool-up. It may even be louder since the turbo suppresses some of the noise.

Yeah yours does sound better then the other guys now I know why, didnt realize you left 1 resonator in place. That would be likely the best config for those wanting to do this. All 3 gone just didnt sound good to me at all mostly since the first one is under your seat and will tone down most the noise in the cabin.

[lilchild87]

Yeah guess you are right, the think is that i want to put an exhaust catback but not that loud, or put a exhaust cutout
