MEGA: Aftermarket Exhausts

[Striker187]

looking for general info on aftermarket exhausts? visit the sister thread for a comprehensive exhaust faq: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=110722&highlight=exhaust+faq

umm...well, i guess this thread is in need of new links. great......someone else wanna take over and start a new thread?

**PRICES ARE NOW LISTED, PLEASE READ BELOW FIRST**
Ok, so I finally had time to go through and list the approximate prices for the exhausts. Here's how the prices work. I did NOT list prices on anything custom because I have no idea how much people were charged for the custom work. Custom work prices vary greatly so if you go custom, shop around! Any prices that are listed are approximate prices only and in no way guarantee that you'll find the exhaust for that price. It might be cheaper, it might be more expensive. If a website is listed, that's where I took the price from and is probably the only place where you'll find the exhaust. If you see "shop around", do exactly that. You'll never know what kind of price you might find. I simply took a price from a random website. You might find a place that has a sale, or that is simply priced lower than others. So please please please shop around!! I cannot emphasize that enough. And finally, all prices listed are for the exhaust section only; any mention of an added midpipe, etc. is not included in the price, nor is shipping or tax.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me a pm :)

another update on the exhaust thread!! thanks to warrier04, we now have the first clips of a tsudo equipped msp (yippy)

Could we get the cost on these setups also?

I may like the sound of one but what if it's out of my pricerange?

Thanks

[Striker187]

ok i am officially out of room on my accounts at we-todd. so i need help from some people!! i need a couple of you to sign up for some accounts at www.we-todd-did-racing.com (http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/) and give me access to them. i've been creating generic accounts starting with mspforever2...i'm on mspforever3. the passwords are the same. i think 3 more accounts will be good for now. so that's mspforever4, 5, and 6. anyone wanna help me out? :)


btw, PERRIN exhaust clip has been uploaded!!

[mazdaspeed75]

56k warning) MSP and LX... HERE YA GOTony's MSP doing a drive-by + the sound of his exhaust (http://mspencer.net/darkrose/nightshots/TonyMSP.avi)

[Fai]

It would be even more useful if you can post the price for those setup..
thz

[jersey_emt]

How much space do all of the current clips take up?

[Striker187]

jersey - approx. 60 MB. that's not including mazdaspeed75's clip. i completely missed that one. i'll have to add that one to the list when i get the chance.

fai - i'll try. but i think i'll only list the prices for some of them, namely the ones that are available only through a vendor (i.e. iON, Perrin, **********, etc.) since these will probably be the only accurate prices i can get. all the custom ones, the prices can vary greatly depending on which shop you go to so i see no point in posting prices for custom exhausts. don't plan on seeing an update for the next two weeks though. i have a chemical plant design project due the 15th so i won't be doing anything else except that.

[Colombianmvp7]

Yea that would help if we could get the price and where to find the exhaust.....but it was a goood idea to post this b/c its hard to find the exhaust u like...and with the sound clips it easier to fid the nicest soundin one

[wtnblue]

anybody got any sound/vid clips of the greddy evo catback?

[goku4658]

ok i have the clip of the GHL full-turbo-back...its about 10mb, where do i put this puppy?

[Striker187]

send it my way, i'll see what i can do. i'll pm u my email address. we-todd's gotten cheap with their account space....in need of other places to store these vids. any ideas?

[t3ase]

Bump for mods to delete all posts after #15 (including mine). I didn't see what thread we were in, and it's cluttering up a good thread.
done, thanks.

Did the GHL have a cat on it or not?
That was alot louder than i expected.
Sounds badass, but a bit too loud for my liking.

Hi all, I am totally new to this forum and driving a humble 1.6L 2001 protege.
I intend to change my stock exhaust. Can anyone advise wats the size best for my car?

Stock
Current header piping size= 1.5"
Current down pipe size= 1.3"

I understand that too big will affect performance instead, so came here to seek advise.

[Tito1]

Turbotech?? Who where and how can I get in touch with them. Those are some kickass #'s.


How much is that exhaust? We should try and set this thread up like the SMIC&FMIC info thread. Info much more accessible.

[Turbobass]

we made a downpipe also .... just need to try on the Dyno and post the results ...

thnx man, 2.5 or 3" .. cant really decide.. is 3" really worth it, or should i just get 2.5???

[Striker187]

it depends on how much hp you plan on going for. there's a lot of info in that same thread, i'm sure you saw it. 2.5" is fine...it'll support up to about 300-350 whp. 3" is purely preference at low boost levels.

Hey The Ghl Videso Do Not Work!!!! Wtf Mate!!!! Can We Re Post Them Post Them Kk Thanks You

-dave

[Striker187]

which ones are down? tell me exactly which ones and i'll see what i can do about it later tonight if i have the time. otherwise, it might have to wait till tomorrow night. my guess is the rapidshare ones are down. we-todd got cheap so i can barely store one vid on a single account. if you know of a free server that allows hotlinking, point me in the direction :)

[doggman]

it's all the ghl minus the od ball one. all the other ghl vids taht use the same server do not work no mo.. thanks you vary much. o dont mind my thread jack but well i guess it really isnt seeing as this is exhaust thread but anyway: will the ghl dp match up to the apex 3" cat back...? if yes then omg orgasim via sound oooh wee if only i had 1200 bucks.. thanks for the info

take it easy

[Striker187]

yeah the files probabl expired cause no one's downloaded them in a while. i'll try to re-upload them tomorrow night. and yes, the ghl dp can be made to fit the catback. mine was made to fit my custom catback actually. cullen at ********** was kind enough to have them put on 6 inches of extra piping and threw in 2 flanges and a gasket so all my guy had to do was cut and weld two flanges on.

That is the set up I will be running soon...I already have the GHL full downpipe connected to the stock cat-back, but my Apex 3" catback should be on its way....will let you know how things go...

[doggman]

please do cause taht's what im all aboooooooooot. (no im not canadian, me from MI) i like the apex catback better then the ghl cb but the dp ghl all the way. if you can hook me up with some pics and or vids that would be great. it would be the umph that i need to keep going to actually buy this exhaust setup. i want the black coated muffler too on the apex and the angle mount is too pimp......

ok, vids are refreshed. they should all be working now. btw, u should hear my 5zigen before u use an apexi muffler ;)

No problem...I don't have the Apex yet, but am hoping it arrives in the next few days (purchased from a forum member here). Will update you after I get it installed!

stock exhaust.

[JarHeadSpeed]

Anyone got a sound clip and/or vid of the 3" Vibrant exhaust? I'm really thinking about getting it, just would like to hear it first.

There's clips on the first page. It's under etd racing 2.5" to 3"...there are like 5 videos!

what do you have so far? Maybe just get a mid pipe.

[TheSuperhuman]

you think that would work well enough? with the factory muffler?

[orng1]

a lot of people are running stock with just a downpipe. apexr1 thing and like it I went and did it all on the exhaust side.

[Chilledboost]

when we suspected that the cats were plugged on my MSP we unhooked the downpipe from the j-pipe and ran the car. it was loud as F**K. im going to do it again at night and get a vid of me going up the street.

[carbonkid]

anyone else with Apex catless DP (2.5") and Greddy SP2 on MSP have droning at 80mph (approx 3400rpm)? Mine seems to be midle annoying me to the point of returning to smaller diameter (OEM) DP. Talk me out of this craziness, please!! :)

[Striker187]

easy, don't drive at 80 mph!! ;)

[Lord_Zath]

werd

[carbonkid]

easy, don't drive at 80 mph!! ;)

Let me rephrase, it starts at 70mph and continues from there on up. I swear our cars were born needing a 6th gear.

[orng1]

yeah everyone feels like you about that missing gear, but I don't know what everyone complains about. Do you have no resonator or something. I love the way my car sounds and it should be the same as everyone elses, a little loud but deep not to anoying (however you spell that) and mean when you get on it. custom 3" with a resonator and 3" hks hy power.

[Striker187]

^^^^
bingo. a resonator will help cut down on the droning. it may give a slightly more mellow tone too.

[Striker187]

thread has been updated with pics and short vid of the GHL turboback exhaust courtesy of **********.

[TheSuperhuman]

what about the Apex 2.5 downpipe w/ hiflow cat and the magnaflow 2.5 catback, does anyone have this, its seems like it would look sleeper enough but i was wondering how it would run

[Striker187]

it'll run fine. if you're interested, read here for more info: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=110722&highlight=exhaust+faq

[carbonkid]

just an addendum, i have the Greddy SP2, which comes with TWO resonators...

[Striker187]

and it's still too loud? might be time to change mufflers then. maybe an hks? they're usually on the quiet side.

[carbonkid]

and it's still too loud? might be time to change mufflers then. maybe an hks? they're usually on the quiet side.

Yes, it is bad. Maybe the baffling is "worn out"??

[orng1]

That's wierd, I thought the greddy was pretty quiet. How long have you had it on now?

[carbonkid]

I bought it used about a year ago...

[Striker187]

mmmm....possibly. though doubtful that you would have burned through that much packing. is there packing inside a resonator even? i'm not really sure. but even then, with two resonators, it should be pretty quiet. are you sure it's not an exhaust leak? has the sound level gotten progressively louder or has it always been loud? the greddy seemed pretty loud from the soundclip i heard.

[carbonkid]

I think iot has always been that way, and it was only a year or so old when I got it.

[Striker187]

well definitely some of the packing would have burned away by now. i dunno, it may be that the greddy is just too loud :(

[carbonkid]

that could be. i hate to, but I will put the stock DP back on for my move to AZ this year and see how much that helps...

[Zhan]

Any clips of an aftermarket down/mid-pipe with stock catback? Before and after even more appreciated.

[tricky]

yeah i'm still waiting on those links :)lol, the 17'" of snow we got this week didn't really help me get this done. I will be doing it today for sure! (cabpatch)

[kaffeian]

does anyone have any info on the DC exhaust? The website lists the exhuast with down pipe and header but no release date. It's been this way for going on a year now. I've been looking at the GReddy exhaust but I would like to know the HP and Torque ratings before I make any desicions.

[Mutmatt]

GReddy doesn't do full exhaust so don't expect any pants changing expieriences go GHL all the way or Vibrant and find an s pipe to match or u won't pull to much harder than stock

[tricky]

yeah i'm still waiting on those links :)
pm'd with links

[carbonkid]

the 17'" of snow we got this week didn't really help me Ditto. I can vouch for that. It sucked!!

Boostisfun357, PM me, we should hang out, I am in burnsville too.

[Mutmatt]

where is my pm??? i need some friends lol jp! i would love to hang with you guys tho pm me i've give u my cell

[Striker187]

don't have time right now to update the thread......writing my literature review for my thesis. i'll try to get to it tomorrow some time i hope.....

[Striker187]

new exhaust vids have been posted!! wow, we're up to 30 now on the msp alone (2thumbs)

[carbonkid]

sweet, thanks!

[Macs MSP]

Has anyone done a 3" custom turbo back with the stock mufler and tip. I want to run 3" ss mandrel bent piping with a high flow cat but I want it to look stock so I was going to keep the stock mufler and tip if possible.

Does anyone know what the diameter of the stock mufler is?

[goku4658]

small

[Striker187]

http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=110722&highlight=exhaust+faq

copied straight from #3
"I measured the stock piping at several places, including the crushed sections at the bends. Here’s what I found. These are inner diameter measurements:

1 11/16 inches - 2 3/8 inches = 1.6875" - 2.375" = 42.8625 mm - 60.325 mm" - me :)

incidentally, if you wanna try to keep the stock look, you might want to look into something like a magnaflow universal oval muffler and then welding on a muffler tip that looks similar to the stock one.

[gjmoreo]

My MAGNAFLOW exhaust just arrived!!

Yeah-EE-Yea!!

[Striker187]

seeing as how we-todd officially sucks, i'll be attempting to move as many of the videos as i can to a different host (probably google video) once finals are over with. i'm thinking about completely rearranging the thread while i'm at it as well. some soundclips/vids may disappear from the list as i don't have access to them, but hopefully, most will remain.

[nazgul350r]

Thanks. I was trying to view the GHL and on two of them worked.

[sandspeed]

i will post some clips of my ghl full downpipe plus custom catback sometime this week. I 'm runnin open downpipe and my car is freakin loud, its awesome!!

[Striker187]

what happened to your ______ muffler?

[sandspeed]

i still used the muffler, it looks great!!! The exhaust was finished today. I was there all morning , i'm on my friend's computer right now i haven't even been back to my house but when i do i post some pics.

cant wait to see them

[Slowp0ke]

i want a good quality sound/video clip of the apex cat back wth apex catted dp please only one of those 3 links work can we get it fixed some how? just giving ya heads up man

[jflo]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUit2DVIRUs

2.5" no cats, non-resonated, apexr1 j-pipe back exhaust.

i think with cats, it would sound just a little muffled, but not by a lot.

i cant really see how the muffler is mounted is it at a angle like some of the wrx's mufflers? or is it straight back?

[chwood]

Hm - are most of these links dead now?

I just put on the corksport S/J pipe + MAM catless midpipe & I have a pretty significant raspy-note. I figure I'm leaking but I wanted to check some of these other sound clips for comparison!

[jflo]

it's at a slight angle. not all crazy like horizontal 45degrees. it points from the ground up to about a 15 degree angle to the right.

[Striker187]

yeah i know.....broken links cause we-todd's having serious problems. give me a couple weeks and i'll hopefully find some time to move most of the videos over to google or something. some vids are under other people's accounts so i won't have access to them unfortunately.

i'm gearing up for the u.s. racquetball nationals next week so once that's over i'll have more time i hope. be patient with me guys!

you probably aren't leaking. you'd be surprised at how much the exhaust note changes once you replace the midpipe. what kind of muffler are you using?

[Striker187]

and this is just freakin great........i can't even download the stupid videos directly from my accounts. so i don't even have access to my own files! ummm....yeah.....we all might have to start from scratch :( i've sent them an email so we'll see if anything comes of it.

[chwood]

you probably aren't leaking. you'd be surprised at how much the exhaust note changes once you replace the midpipe. what kind of muffler are you using?

Stock - I took out the S/J (Corksport) & the midpipe (MAM catless) and bolted up to the stock from there.

I'm pretty sure I'm leaking at one of the joints - if I'm sitting still I can smell some fumes faintly.

And it's VERY raspy. Like, the dominant sound is that nasty asthmatic wheeze on acceleration.

:(

[Striker187]

ok maybe u are leaking then :(

[Striker187]

guess what's back up and running guys! :D we-todd sure fixed that fast after the email i sent them.

[sandspeed]

awesome striker, did you get a chance to add my soundclips? I plan on getting some better clip but it has been pouring rain lately.

[Striker187]

not yet. first thing's first. i'm gonna save all of the files onto my computer for safekeeping. then i'll go around and update the thread with new soundclips. and when i have more time, i'll rearrange the thread so that it's more organized/catagorized.

and maybe sometime in there, install all the parts that are collecting dust sitting in my room!!!!

[chwood]

ok maybe u are leaking then :(

Hm so this weekend I jacked 'er up and tightedned everything down.
I have one nut on the Spipe to the turbo that isn't very tight b/c it's freakin impossible to get at and I def still am leaking.

are people getting new gaskets for all those joints when they swap these pieces out? I reused my originals. Those are the other two things I can think to do right now - find someone to tighten down that last $@^@$#^ nut to the turbo outlet & replace the gaskets?

[Striker187]

generally it's a good idea to use new gaskets but i think you should be ok with your stock ones. i wouldn't worry too much about the nut on the s-pipe. there's one actually missing on mine cause the stud sheared off inside the housing.

two other things you might want to check: make sure none of the piping has a crack someplace. the other thing, check your exhaust turbine on the opposite side of the s-pipe. there's one bolt there right by the cartridge.....that one actually fell out on me. not a clue how it came loose. but it happened shortly after my s-pipe was replaced. can you kind of hear where the leak is?

[chwood]

I'm not sure which joint it is b/c they are all so close in there, but it's def coming from that S/J pipe/turbo area. I've listened with hood up but not from underneath the car yet. I can't seem to reach the pedal while I'm under there. Drat.

I did get under the car and check for cracks but nothing was visible - and they were without visible cracks when I put them on.

I need to get under there again to silicone spray my bushings - it groans so loud my wife thought we had run over something. LOL

[Striker187]

did you check that bolt on the turbine housing?

[chwood]

not yet - hopefully this weekend.
What about obtaining new gaskets for the s/j pipe? dealer? (ugh.)
I figure I try those two things - if that doesn't work then I'm going to have to slap the stock midpipe back on there and take it to the dealer.

[Striker187]

gaskets? hmm....maybe www.cheapturbo.com (http://www.cheapturbo.com) might be able to help.
