Rally Exhaust?

[TrystanGST]

Run a cat, but not a muffler. I don't think I've seen that too often. Haha.

 

[dsmspick]

Shit man do what ever you think sounds best. I have a R&R 3" turbo back with no cat and just a magnaflow. To me sounds hella good

 

[Leonthefaded]

The downpipe and flexpipe section should bolt up to any catback system right?

I was looking at the exhaust on my car last night and it looks like the piping starts off huge at the downpipe but gets smaller and smaller toward theback end.

You best bet is too look up any potential system you'd want, then do a search on this site for it. There will probably be photos, shots of fitments, and comments on quality.

I never considered that, its a very interesting idea. I could eliminate the muffler and use straight pipe.

But I've seen straight pipe cars and heard them too... its not pretty.

Might not pass DB check at a track, but it should technically be street-legal as long as you're not driving through noise ordinance neighborhoods.

Well ultimatly hawaii has safety check laws. Technically my car is not street legal in hawaii because I have coilovers, even though I'm at stock ride height. Any modifications to you vehicle here you have to get a reconstruction permit to pass and have a valid safety check.

Fyi I'm getting my safety check done then getting the apexi dual n1 system if it will fit.

Anything involving removing the cat on a car originally equipped with one is no longer street legal. It's a federal offense. But so is messing with any of the emissions equipment.

Dual n1 will look horrible, the bumper cutout is no where near big enough to fit 2 n1 mufflers. Just go with a thermal r&d catback, or a normal apexi n1 system.

The Dual n1 I'm sure is around the same size as the single N1 or any of the megan catbacks. But I might be wrong.
I could have sworn its just two small N1s

I never said anything about not having a catalytic converter, I was referring to just the muffler.

I run a full v-band 3" exhaust that Joe from Redjack Racing made for me. I had a Megan Racing exhaust before, it was nice...but nothing like no cat and no muffler. You want a "rally exhaust", that to me is a rally exhaust. Of course, I drive my DSM maybe once every week in the warmer months...and I could care less about the noise and emissions testing here in NY.

But you need a catalytic converter to be street legal, and your car needs to be street legal to "rally".

Hands down, Thermal R&D is the best looking bolt on exhaust and sounds great!

Actually after listening to some soundclips via youtube, the R & D is not exctly what I had in mind. The N1 nd Dual N1 comes the closest. I'm not looking for exactly a rally exhaust, but something with the throaty simalrities of it.

So I'm at the shop and they said that I would lose my bottom end if I use a 3in catback system.

Apparently they've never worked on a turbo-charged car.

Leon you need more pics of this red gsx in your blog or gallery..

They are wrong.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Shops are stupid.

 

[Leonthefaded]

Someone hit my phone up 8084292712. Pics are coming

 

[Leonthefaded]

So I went down the street to exhaust systems hawaii and bought the apexi muffler. I didn't let them talk me outa what's proven by you tuners out there. 3in full with apexi n1. Never let a shop tell you what's best. Pics At the exhaust shop

I yearn for the day that people stop recommending the N1 for DSMs.

Why is that

 

[Lofty]

Back of the muffler blows out, but they sound the best I think.

Here's my old car.
