Does anybody have a picture of what the vibrant muffler looks like looking through the inlet to the outlet?

I can tell you all you see is daylight, I just got mine done yesterday after 3 years of hacked up exhausts I finally have a real exhaust on the car. I'll take it to the shop tomorrow so I can put it on the lift and get some pictures.

I have the vibrant streetpower muffler 2.5" pipe y-pipe off SS rep headers, and a magnaflow high flow convertor (shop in PA wouldnt hang it without a cat), but it helps keep the sound in check and flows a hell of a lot better than the e30 convetor that was on it. I do miss my borla a little, cause this thing makes little kids cry.

I have to say that you really cant tuck the pipes of the SS headers up any closer to the unibody, mine nearly touch the underside of the floorpan. Its just the way it is and it will be a little low if you want to run a big pipe. I used to have triangle flanges on my headers and they would scrape over speed bumps, havent had an issue with my new exhaust.

I'm in the exact same boat as you. what springs are you running? I have some intrax ones that I'm pretty sure are race springs, my wheels are in the wheel wells. I'll grab some pics and post them up tomorrow or saturday.

I am running H&R Race springs which doesn't help the situation. If you look in the photo below of the Ebay headers I think if you cut right near the collector for each bank of tubes welded a flange there and then bent a tube with a more aggressive angle that would allow you to clock the first bend on a different plane and give a tighter fit to the underside of the car. There is a lot of potential for interference in that area so I don't know if its possible.

Beautiful. What resonator did you say that was? by the looks of it, it's should be up there in sound with mine. Too fuckin loud lol.

I used one of those Magnalfow through through mufflers. I cant get the name of it if you want. I thought it would quiet it down, but I meed something else to make it a little quieter, although the sound is growing on me. It is loud!

Here are two pictures on this thread. I didn't take them, Greg at MBS did, beat me to it!

What did you do for your setup? Eventually i'll want mine a little quieter too i think. Are you using ss reps?
Sorry I never came to get the m52 headers, I just thought I'd save some money, as this was kinda expensive.

Screw that, you stood me up! I had 2 other guys in line waiting and I told them no. hahahaha I kidd I kidd. I think I'm running SS reps. They're headers that fit when my friend had his car. I bought some eBay ones and they didn't fit, they would hit the motor mount arm.

great site thanks man!

How loud are those mufflers?

I have a similar setup from MBS. Mine is way too low right off the ebay headers. I can not go over speed bumps even if I take them at an angle. If I was doing it again I would have them cut the ebay headers and weld a flange on then bend a tube with a tighter fit to the underside of the car. Post some photos of your setup

I was thinking to have someone cut the header, put a flex pipe in it, so you can flex it a bit more and such. You guys ever try to put another hanger up? I have a flex pipe in my mid section, and I put a bracket to hold the mid section a bit higher. I'm on H&R Sports, and I will slightly rub when I go over a speed bump. I'm switching to GC's soon.

What's the noise limit? i heard there is a iphone app that measures DB's. I wonder how loud my suppertrapp is.

Making Apps for phones is the easy way to make money now-a-days.

^I woudlnt' be surprised, there's probably an app to measure your average stroke per minute;)

Just an update regarding my side exit exhaust:

My s50b32 with stock Euro headers, dual 2.25" mandrel bent tubing, and a Magnaflow dual 2.25" muffler was reading 105db at Thunderhil a couple weeks ago.
It got me black flagged once so I had to lift a little sooner down the main straight to keep the noise down.

just out of curiosity, what are you guys paying on average for custom exhaust?, i will need to get mine done, but dont really have an idea of where to start as far as quotes from different shops...

headers back.
