500.00 for exhaust

[96whitetalon]

Is the HP gains from a full exhaust whirth the money at 500.00. I think you could do alot more mods to your car with 500. let me know what you think. this exhaust would be for a turbo dms

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

Well only 2 500.00 cat-backs that are woth it. Thermal and ATR. Otherwise at AHP, or RNRracing you can get a whole turbo back for 600.

uhm, so why do you consider the apexi N1 not worth it?

I love my Thermal.

Funny that the two exhausts that Mutted named are the quitiest (Thermal) and one of the Loudest (ATR).

I have listened to my thermal at idle and reving right next to an ATR that was idle and reving. The ATR is way louder!

Buy a 2.5" or 3" mandrel bent downpipe

Take it to a muffler shop, have them weld a flowmaster on the end of it. Or, any other muffler that doesn't have anything inside of it, just welded aluminum baffles/etc


Dump it under the car. Sort of quiet, flows real well.

 

[RetardedAWD]

I love my Thermal too.. it has almost a Porsche-like "BLAAAAT"...

not sure how good of an idea this is because exhaust gas is corrosive... after a long period of time it will cause the underbody of the car to start to rust...just something to consider...

When I was installing my exhaust I couldn't get the studs out of the stock cat so I had to drive it to a local garage with no exhaust after the cat. It sounded like a drag car and was really loud. It was pretty cool but no where near legal.

 

[96whitetalon]

ok guys you kind of got off the sudject here. i ask if the HP gains are whirth 500.00

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

Not when you can get a whole turbo back for 500-600 from a couple palces. I got my ATR off the trader for 250.00.

BTW The ATR is loud as sh1t. It makes my car sounds like a WRC EVO with no cat on it.

no they didnt stop making it, most places ran out of stock though.. they stopped making the Apexi Dunk

 

[BatmanGSX]

The best thing you can do for your exhaust system is not have a catalytic converter. Are the gains worth it for $500?

with cat: no
without cat: yes

And $500 is a huge fu@king waste for just a catback if you ask me.

 

[NDgsx]

www.122performance.com Andy does good work, very good prices too.

Mutted-

I am looking to order either a catback or turboback today. It seems you are somewhat endorsing the turbobacks....if you can help at all, do you know anything about the ones from rnrracing.com? They have a 3" turbo-back for $500, and I have about $600 to spend. at first I was set on getting a cat-back, new cat, and downpipe, but the turbo-back seems to be a little cheaper. Also, will the hp gains be about the same? I don't see why the wouldn't, but what are the advantages of each set-up?

 

[me612]

600 for an AHP turbo back? damn i paid 500 for juss my 3"AHP Performance Elite catback. Wishin I woulda got RnR's turbo bak for the same price oh well

 

[EclipsingU]

Man haul your ass down to a local muffler shop and have a custom turbo back done. 3 in mandrel bent ss. If you have to haul it in there and tell them its a race car. Less expensive in most cases with the same quality work. Stop paying for a name.

I have the RNR O2 eliminator DP. I reccomend a turbo back especially theres becasue I comes with a O2 eliminator true 3inch DP repacing your stock O2 housing.

 

[ryan2987]

is the buschur racing 3" cat-back any good on a 1G. Also what does it sound like?

 

[EclipsingU]

Yes its good and its LOUD in the strickest sense of the word.

 

[ryan2987]

what kind of "LOUD" are we talking about here. I need an idea. Is it like that kind of ricy sound like a weedeater or something?

 

[IPT]

LOUD mitsu sound. A low grown

 

[ryan2987]

sweet, thats exactly what im looking for.

Flowmasters are one of the worst mufflers you can use on a turbo car. They dont flow well at all despite their name. Many turbo cars picked up substantial HP just by changing from a FM to something else.
