1g fwd exhaust...

[asd_gst]

ok so i have a 91 gst im looking for an exhaust, i've looked at the vrs, megan, and thermal, but havent seen any pics of them on a fwd, i like how the apexi n1 looks but its only for an awd, does anyone know how the apexi sounds compared to vrs and thermal. and can anyone post pics of 1g's with exhaust. i've looked on the forum and found this but cant find any pics besides for the one in this thread http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/bolt-tech/199251-1g-fwd-3-exhaust.html

My FWD has a 3" Thermal system. I bought it used as a turbo-back setup from a guy about 4 years ago for $300.

What I ran into was that the system I bought was actually for a '90-'91 car, so the muffler didn't come out in the right place at my rear bumper. To fit my car properly the muffler would've needed to be swept further to the passenger's side of the car. I also had to manufacture some bracketry.

I'm not sure why Thermal built two different systems for the '90-'91 and '92-'94 cars- most shops simply build one that fits all 1G's. I wasn't worried....I hacked the bottom of the bumper in a presentable manner.

Wish I had a recent pic for you, but I don't.

Here's a good thread that will give you an idea how different exhaust systems sound (some of the links on the earlier posts are outdated and don't work):

There's plenty of videos on YouTube but personally if you want throaty and the deepest sounding go with Thermal or Buschur.

Yeah, Dejon is the cheapest you can get but how do it sound? It looks like there are too many bends and it looks like it's no stainless steel but either way it is cheap.

Thermal exhaust all the way, I'll post up some pics later

The muffler is also made by thermal

VRS exhaust is NOT $800; VRS Catback Exhaust System.

for ss turbo back 3inch it is

No, do the math, $379.99 + $120 (3.0 Inch AWD Stainless #CB1GAWD300SS) = $499.99. That's pretty far off of $800.

the turbo back well at slow boy the 3" turbo back is 800, this is 499.99 + 219.99 (downpipe) + $64.99 (testpipe)= 784.97+ shipping

I you were speaking of the catback only. If you include the downpipe and test pipe along with the rest of the exhaust it's going to be about $800-1000 whichever way you go on all name brands.

but i have a 91 whats the differnce and why do they make one for 90-91 and then 92-94

 

[JusMX141]

Ahh yeah yours would need the muffler that I have on my '92 TSi FWD, which is the reason I had to hack the bumper in the first place.

Wanna trade tail sections?

 

[90laserRSfwd]

The reason they build different rear sections for the 1gA and 1gB cars is because the Talon and Eclipse have a section in the rear bumper that is molded for the exhaust tips to exit at the corner of the passenger side of the rear bumper. It's hard to explain.

 

[DSMboostin15]

I actually have the VRS 3" turbo back with 3" Magnaflow hi-flow cat on my GST and it ran me about $850 with shipping. The fitment was great, minus needing new hangers welded on for $10 at the local muffler shop. It's only Aluminized but it has lasted 2 Northern Indiana winters with no visible rusting of the system. As for the sound, it's nice and low, not at all ricer. I highly recommend them and I plan on getting another one for my AWD.

I completely understand....it just seems wasteful that they would build two different tail sections when all the other companies incorporate the 1Ga and 1Gb exhausts into one system.

how'd you steal my car? haha i had to think about this for a second

 

[jeremylee_7]

I had a 3" Thermal Turbo-back on my 90 GST, i loved the performance and the sound. A nice deep throaty sound, but not obnoxiously loud.
