hey there,

i was reading up on the forum and i saw a post about custom exhausts at gtcustomexhaust. i was just wondering if anyone has done this and how mcuh was it. im considering a tsudo n1 currently, but if i can get one from this place that is smaller, and for a similar price, might go for this instead.

im also wondering, for the people who got the custom exhaust from gt, did u just pick any exhaust on their selection and get some mandrel bends and flange?. looking for an AB so i dun need to weld anything to the car.

thanks in advance

Infamous_pt4 got his done there, im getting my next one done there as well.

Infamous_pt4

imma set something up with the owner of gt and see if i can work something out with gt and tlc for club discounts ,

phuknrht

wish i had the infamous hook-up before i got mine done there, but they do good work

i might be selling my custom axle back exhaust soon. if you are interested, let me know.

qJai

what exhaust do you u have? got any pics?

qJai

how mcuh u guys think a straight pipe axel back with a tip will cost?

homieG

it seriously looks completely stock. its the same magnaflow that RRM uses, diff piping of course!

the straight pipe will be really loud. i've tried it. also doesn't sound good. too ricey IMO.

qJai

the straight pipe AB will basically be like the works exhale, doesnt seem to be as loud as the tsudo or greddy ti-c...

^ yeah thats what i thought, but it was actually wayyyy too loud, not a good loud. thats just my opinion though. u'll get the best performance from that though, cus there is no restriction. car def felt faster. upto you if you want something loud u know...

qJai

yea prob gonna stick with the tsudo n1

WoW

Non Turbo charged cars actually need back pressure in the exhaust system.

Running a low restriction system hampers low-end torque and high end power.

Tons of studies have already been done on this.

qJai

yup

homieG

Yes i can understand that but i did feel my car launch faster.....didn't leave it that way, so its all good. And its just reducing the flow of a muffler, im not talking about taking the resonators off and the cat out.

WoW

Butt dyno? I'm sure the loud exhaust "tone" makes you think that the car is faster.

What ever floats your boat tho,

FYI.

Resonators are free flowing to a great extent, All it basically is, is a piece of tubing with a larger I.D that allows sound wave energy to be dissipated into heat by passing the exhaust gas and its accompanying wave pattern, through perforated tubes and tuning chambers. Passing into perforations and reflectors within the chamber forces the sound waves to dissipate their energy. Look inside a resonator and you'll see what i'm talking about.

Also, Cats have very little affect on exhaust flow on N/A cars.

The Muffler is the only exhaust component that helps create some degree of back pressure.

...And Magnaflows uses a 'Straight Through' design on their mufflers.... so....
