******Review of Full ss' 3inch ATR Turbo-back*****

[Vegas Smith]

I ordered a full ss' 3 inch turboback from ATR performance. Costed me 850$ shipped to my door. Was very simple ordering it and arrived at the house and arrived in exactly 7 buisness days. Package was nicely packed and seemed packed sturdy.

Installation wasnt too hard. It was a little different dealing with clamps as opposed to stock/buschur stye bolt connections but overall i thought this way was easier. downpipe went on with a little bit of fuss but of course all downpipes do anyways. The only problem i have with the install is the pictures in the directions were horrible, i didnt even look at them once for installation. Although all you need is common sense to finish the project, it would be nice to have a few pics to reassure you.

On to performance and sound. The exhaust greatly increased spoolup on my 16g/hks 264/2g mas combo. Topend is alot better obviously. i dont have dynocharts but the car pretty much hauls ass right now and is an easy 12 second car. If it helps any, this exhaust flows so much that i cant keep my boost under 21psi right now(need to port wastegate).

This exhaust sounds by far the best out of any i have heard. I wouldnt even consider buying an apexi n1, matter of fact i laugh at the people who have them. This atr sounds ####ing awesome, and i mean awesome...to where v8's would be intimidated. It was incredibly loud at first but after i tightened it down a little and added a groundstrap it has decreased considerably to where its not too too loud.

Overall im 100% satisfied with the full atr turbo-back. i believe its the best exhaust money can buy for a 1g dsm and would reccomend it to anyone considering making any amount of power in the future. enjoy the pics.

I have the same exhaust for my 2g.

Best sounding exhaust ever.

Very nice dude, congrats.......

The 2g one is a bit straighter than the 1g but it looks like the stock exhaust had the same bends.

 

[Vegas Smith]

Yeah it has a little more bends because it goes under the rear diff as opposed to the 2g. I was having problems with the piping hitting the driveshaft yoke but i retightened it and finegled a few things and it hasnt knocked since.

I have the full 3" ATR turbo back on my 2G. I like it, it's a little loud when cruising but sounds good. I'll take some pics tomorrow if anyone wants to see.

looks good.. anybody happen to have any sound clips of this exhaust on their car?

 

[herostar]

looks good

one question though... not to rag on anyone, but how can you charge 850 for an exhaust that has no flex pipe in the downpipe? isnt' that kind of important...

I have a 3" ATR catback with an exhaust depot 2.5 to 3" flex (no cat) downpipe. They slipped together perfectly after a cut the flange and about 6" of pipe off the rear end of the Exhaust Depot dp off. Nice sound, way better spool, and full ss.

i bought a 2g and im going to be modding it soon....i had the N1 turboback on my 1g and i loved it....could somebody get a clip of this Brand Exhaust so i can see what its like...thanks a lot

I have a clip of it on my car at idle. I can't host it though so if anyone really wants it I'll email it to you. Email me first and put that in the title.

There's a clip of my car with the ATR exhaust in driven 2

I also have a 40mm HKS external, so the tone isn't quite what you'll have

I finally had to put a new muffler on my ATR system, it's been on the car since 96 or 97, so overall it did good. The only complaint I have is that if you don't put a ton of antiseize on the slip fittings have fun doing a clutch.
