Custom Exhaust...

[Rush24]

getting my custom exhaust done tomorrow... Custom straight pipe with 3" pipe all the way back...

I'll post pics of the work tomorrow... And sound too!!(yes)

[Rush24]

here are some pics of the system.... the butt dyno feels more power and torque....

[StealthWyvern]

looks good but how does it sound?

[justanothermp5]

looks pretty sweet, i bet it sounds like a beast too
im tryin to convince my mom to do somethin to her cx 7 but ....she refuses lol

[Rush24]

sounds great.... i was actually shocked at how close to stock it sounds at idle... when you punch it... that's where the fun is.... it sounds similar to a WRX... just a bit quiter.. i like it especially with the CP-E Intake and Forge BPV..... ETS intercooler is next..

[AlbanianDude]

Any sound clips by anychance man, i am looking at the CPE or Corksport and not to sure which way to go yet

[Sveivo]

Looks beastly as hell.

[Rush24]

i'll try to get a sound clip up today..

[CX7_Rider]

Do you observe better PERFORMANCE ?

[Rush24]

absolutely! no turbo lag..... smooth shift between all gears... and at high rpm... it's a joy to drive! Butt dyno would say an extra 15-20 horses... i'll probably do a dyno run in a week or so... (hump)

[AlbanianDude]

Sounds like a sweet deal man, i think i might go that way instead of ordering one

[Rush24]

definantly... Don't get me wrong the cp-e and corksport systems are probably great... But for the cost... And being an average joe... Custom setup from a local shop... Best bet for the $$$.... I've had my Saturn and Mazda 3 done by this shop and they've always done great...

[otnielarencibia]

very nice....how much did it cost you?

[Rush24]

Here are a couple more pics.......looks stock doesn't it(laugh)...hahaha....I'm working on a video...my digital camera broke and iPhone doesn't do video...the cost was around $400-$450....worth the cost....

[AlbanianDude]

Looks awesome waiting on the soundclip untill i decide to do mine

[Rush24]

Here is the link to how it sounds....it was kinda windy...I'll get some better sounding clips up soon...

Sounds great...I put the CP-E quick pipe and Catback exhaust on...and now that I have the car tuned and boosted properly it is amazing how quick these cars really are. Stainless steel, smooth bends, no restrictions...deep sound. I am not trying to be biased but this exhaust is really sweet...I miss my Mustang GT with straight pipes but this will definately do for now. I like the Cork Sport one from what I heard also but I am definately happy with the CP-E one I have on!

[CajunRacer]

I liked the Corksport one and the CP-E one but when it came to the sound I thought the CP-E had a much deeper tone to it which is what I ended up getting...I love this exhaust system.

[jarheadTEX]

do you get any fuel cuts with this exhaust??

[Rush24]

Nope....been a few months now and it runs great.....FMIC is next....(cabpatch)

You may not be able to add the ETS intercooler without the ECU FLASH they are working on at CP-E. They told me you can't run an upgraded exhaust, CAI and the ETS intercooler with the current ECU factory settings. I'm not sure what will happen but i'm guessing the increased HP form all these upgrades will cause the ECU to throw the check engine light. They are currently working on a ECU FLASH "tune" that will adjust for the increased HP from all of these mods.

Rush24 - your custom exhaust looks good. The only negatives that I see are that the bends are not mandrel bends - the pipes are pinched at the bends. But overall I'm sure the pipe still flows more than stock. Also, your muffler-less system would be a tad too aggressive sounding for me, but that is a personal thing. Some people like it loud!

[Rush24]

Surprisingly its not that loud...and the bends haven't prevented it from performing like a champ....(yes)
