Oh Shnap! 3" exhaust vids! Updated
 

Just a couple quick clips of my new exhaust.

Reving at idle:

Boostin' around 15psi:

sounds fucking awesome.:bigtu:

Wow that sounds kickass!

You can't even hear mine. :( All engine noise with the occasional PSHEW.

I don't know about you but I can hear it just fine :bigtu:

Sounds great

the video makes the tach look like the clutch is slipping.

headwork ftw eh.

HOLLA! sounds slow.

what kind of BOV is that?

BOV sounds like a laser. Which?

Edit: Didn't see the post above me.

Nice, that's pretty quite, I like it.

Clutch is definitely not slipping. Any sudden tach jumps are wheelspin.

BOV is a generic all-metal eBay, VTA.

No--Scott's video, not yours. I watched the vid again and think that it's because the road is wet.

My BOV sounds like yours.

Ah. Yeah, I was like "shit, if that's 14psi on a T3, and he's spinning 3rd gear, it's hopeless for 300whp"

sounds great scott

4th = slips if i take it out and boost hard within 3 seconds of startup :gay: ill post something better tomorrow. that's kevlar for you, holds everything else i throw at it after i drive around town for 2 minutes and it warm ups.

im pretty sure im going to replace the disc with something from clutchnet next spring, but for now when i was boosting before the rain, (road was damp) logging 17psi, it was fine.

I was hoping you wouldn't notice.....i mean:

3rd gear was partial throttle, 4th was WOT. Fast, huh? :bigtu:

Sounds great. Pretty loud and deep.

Ya 300 RWHP is pretty stupid, getting sideways at 70 MPH is sure fun though.

I should get a ride in a 300+whp car before starting a fund for the GT2871R. :P

you can always turn boost down if it's too scary for you, ma'am.

Sounds awesome.

A part of me regrets not getting this 93 I was looking at. The 1.8's dont rev like the 1.6's do.

I don't know about that... My 1.8 spins up nice to 8500. It's all in the build, I built a few sweet spinning 1.8's.

braineack is your oil pressure high enough? looks like its reading 60 at wot :dunno:

started in 50* weather 2 seconds before I started recording, sounds typical to me.

oh i was just wondering, i'm used to seeing maybe 30 at WOT and like 2 at idle, but its still 75ish here

your oil is thinning out on the heat of the motor or your oil pressure reliefe spring is to weak.

well i doubt its the oil, because i never have to change it really i just keep topping it off :bigtu: it may be the relief spring however (wtf is that?)

braineack i can't tell from the videos but how much bassy resonation do you have at low rpm? thats what drives me wild not the loudness

Do some reading on our oil pumps and how people shim/replace the pressure relief springs, to allow a more consistant and higher pressure when hot esp when the old one is worn.

that's the reason I left the cruising part in the video. it's almost silent just driving around...i mean you hear it back there, but it's only really loud if you wail on it and the wastegate opens. (if you have a stero with a subwoofer it sounds pretty close, laptop speakrs wont output the tones correctly.) It's still not the best video, one the turbo spools and the wastegate opens, it growls.

but a 2.5" with resonator might be something to consider if you wanna keep it a tad quiter.


my oil pressure has always been the same sicne day 1. after i heat up it idles at like 15, and i cruise somewhere in between the 30 and 60 mark. wot goes anywhere from 50-70, depending on the temp outside and the grade. this is currently valvoline 5w30. you can see in that first vid my oil pressure was somewhere close to 60psi just after startup in the cold.

Sounds good man. I was starting to wonder if I had missed something when that tac started to bury itself in 3rd and 4th gear.

I like how Youtube shows other related vids. Pull up your's and there's Y8's and Savington vid's too!

ok jerkys. look no slipping.

reving at idle outside for a better listen:

good boost and some u-turn fun:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXna40HRLfw

notice the white e30 m3 after i make the u-turn, he didn't want to run :(

what a gangsta m3, thought it was a fox body at first :dunno:, sounds better now though :bigtu:

Any of you turbo guys running a lighter flywheel?

Yup. Fidanza. Came on the car when I got it, but I like it.

i had a 9lber installed and removed it.

Reason?

He's a puss.

chatter, revs drop, too quick through the gears.

Too quick through the gears? Perhaps you should run less boost, too, to slow things down.

Pansy. ;)

sounds good scott... still not loud enough thou. And i gotta give you some lessons on "drifting"

Hmmm sounds louder than mine, same tone just louder. What size magnaflow canister? Mine is 5x8x18. Yours sounds good :)

I run the FM (Fidanza) flywheel.

sounds good to me, good job man

Sounds pretty good man. Driving in the DC area must suck. I'm glad I live 5 minutes away from back country roads.

damn son...that sounds amazing.

Very deep, sounds serious. Sounds similar to my BEGi SS downpipe and Enthuza 2.5" exhaust. My IHI hisses less. :)

I have the 14-lb FM flywheel (latest offering, actually an ACT Streetlite). Can't be lazy shifting or you'll buck like whoa. Take-offs don't feel any different from the stock 18-lb wheel.

Sounds sweet dude.

Anyone have experience with 3" turboback straight pipe? For a car thats not driven like, ever, is it something thats livable or does it totally scream ticket me?

I thought my 3" with cat and 18" glasspack screamed ticket me when it was full throttle. :dunno:

when i had my wastegate wired open after putting the exhaust on. It was pretty insane. I would not like it everyday. I tried everything possible to keep the vaccum high while driving. ;)

hey braineack, what camera and camera mount are you using? I would like to get footage as clear as yours, you can see how shaky mine is here

Let me know please

Thanks!

I'll have to pickup one of those mounts myself. I bought a more universal mount from filmtools.com

http://www.filmtools.com/gripsuccupca.html

Has a 6" Vacuum cup thats held to about 150mph but is only steady if the surface its on is stout. Our little door panels aren't strong enough to support the mount and a 2 pound camera to get quality video. :(

Thanks and what kind of camera do you use, the quality is very good!

braineack-what kind of underwear do you wear, must feel real silky as you seem calm while driving, must get some like that

are you frantic when you drive?
