Greddy Type-S Recirculated

https://www.miataturbo.net/forums/sh...1&postcount=48

Although I played a little with the tension yesterday and I got it to sound more like a whoooosh. Similar to "Whoosh on the Track" on the FM TV page. http://www.flyinmiata.com/video/index.php?no=2

yeah I got five comments that day that I have a ghost car....you saw it haul *** but you couldn't hear it one bit. I had a 2.5" DP, 2.5" high flow cat, to a 2.25" Borla Dual exhaust. It has a good note, it's just not loud.

I was thinking about a 2.5 inch down pipe leading into 2.5 inch exhuast into a dynomax turbo muffler, kinda like a factory look , then have a 2.5 pipe leading out the back.

I have the type-s on my turbo with both lines hooked up. It gives an insanely loud whistle when it lifts. Put it like this, you don't hear my exhaust when I am blocks away - you hear my BOV. Definitely the loudest at any auto-x that I have heard. I pulled the 2nd hose off it once and it lost all the volume. I only ran like that for a few minutes before I hooked it back up because I missed the sound.

Sounds about right! I've been driving around more today and noticed that I tightened it too much, so back to chirping I go.
