Custom 3" turbo exhaust, center exit... (boxster swap anyone?) video/audio
 
So I finally have some outside footage of the car. You can hear what others hear...

To my ears... and those of others... the car sounds like it has a boxster motor swap... I sound like a subaru for some reason. Here it is though. Video from an AutoX this Sunday.

Exhaust is full 3" right off the turbo. 1 resonator and a 3"in, 4" tip Vibrant canister.

I like how the center exit looks

miatamania 06-02-2008 12:04 PM

that canister is huge...needs smallerness...but is badass.

I'm not sure at scooby sound, similar though.

But it does sound good as shit.

I like the sound, and agree that the canister is a bit big for my taste. Not really sure it sounds like a subie though.

Shrug, I paid 40 bucks for it (new/but used for custom exhaust mockup at local shop). It came with flanges/hangers and a few feet of stainless bends.

I think it retails at 150? Just the muffler.

What resonator did you use?

Nice.

I'd rock it too then.

I want to say it was ~18" and a dynamax bullet. Was probably like 30 or so bucks.

urgaynknowit 06-02-2008 01:20 PM

i want that sound lol

miatamania 06-02-2008 05:10 PM

Needs more video from the outside...stat.

You can only hear it for the first/second...then its all other cars.

Arkmage 06-02-2008 10:21 PM

that's what mine sounded like when I was dragging a cylinder...

slutz4 06-02-2008 10:35 PM

appearance wise Id like it more if it wasnt angled down because of having to go over rear brace. But other than that, it sounds pretty menacing

TurboTim 06-03-2008 08:41 AM

Sounds great to me! Damn.

I doubt I could trap 109 on 3cyl or a hurt 4th cylinder at only 10psi.

Slutz. It isn't angled down a hair because of routing, I wanted it that way. I hate angled up tips that become water collectors and then you have a muffler with water sitting around in it.

Custom made by Lovefab (Cody). He primarily does honda manifolds. Currently NSX's are his main builds.

I like the sound, a lot.

Although it does look like your car has been gapped.

I just looked that slang up... even though I'm not rich... I'd like to use that one ...

speedf50 06-03-2008 11:45 PM

I meant that your car looks like someone just assfucked it and stretched the asshole out.

as in "that bitch got gapped"
