Updated exhaust setup

[e30polak]

So after fiddling around with 3 different center mufflers, I found the best setup I could.

Ebay headers > flowmaster y pipe > Borla muffler > 2.5" piping > Vibrant Street Power muffler

Updated exhaust clip :D

rasp attack

i thinks its the headers that cause this at this point. god i hope my idea for my exhaust cancels it. :-\

[e30polak]

It is the headers for sure. But I got it to a point where I like it. The rasp adds to the aggressive tone. ;)

I love it! How much did that setup run you if you don't mind my asking?

Here's mine BTW, it's a hackjob and needs to change soon so I'll probably go a similar route to the one you went.

Honestly I guess with the current setup the total would be $156 for the Vibrant muffler off of verociousmotorsports.com + free borla from my buddy (but would probably run around $100), and 2.5" piping done a while ago for $110 = roughly $370.

It's simple but the components sound really good together. It's pretty quiet at idle and cruise, but unleashes hell on WOT! :up:

damn it too bad i'm in class right now i can't listen to this.. i'll check it when i get home, but yeah, i have MAJOR rasp, i'm definitely going to be changing up my exhaust soon, i see your running 2 mufflers? is that to reduce rasp or to just muffle the sound more? Like you i'm running the ebay headers, Y pipe, 2.5 inch pipe to magnaflow muffler.. right at 4500 it's nothing but rasppppppppp! (sometimes sounds kinda cool but yeah..)

It's the magnaflow, buy a Vibrant and I promise you it will sound amazing! :D

I looked at your video on bfc and ya you have more rasp then anyone I've ever heard. When I ran my vibrant with just a straight through resonator in the middle it was too loud, but even cleaner then it is now. Magnaflow have fiberglass packing on the inside which is a poor design IMHO. Go to verociousmotorsports.com and buy the street power series vibrant muffler, I promise you that you'll like it.

The dual muffler setup is to keep the cops off my ass.

[loonibab325i]

dude that rasp in your video is nothing!

[e30polak]

I know, I like the little bit of rasp that it does have. I think if you run the magnaflow you have in the middle, and a vibrant like mine at the end it would sound great!

[Fidhle007]

How bad do you think your setup would be without the center muffler, compared to my current vid?

[e30s52]

Wow sounds really good. Sounds alot similar to mine but I have alittle more rasp to mine.

So it goes 2 off the headers to a single 2.5 to a cat, then borla, then to a single in dual out magnaflow?

Reading pwns you.

Did you have trouble with fitment regarding the ebay headers? I'm looking to choose an exhuast set-up soon so I can get my ecu tuned...

(btw, thats not the euro replica headers right? pardon my ignorance <-- pretty clueless when it comes to options still)

The one thing about the Vibrant is that it by itself is LOUD! I ran a straight through resonator before the borla, and it was pretty obnoxious.

So it goes 2 off the headers to a single 2.5 to NO CAT, then borla, then to a single in dual out VIBRANT

Fixed.

Just spaced the passenger side motor mount by 3/16ths.

P.S save yourself a world of trouble and flatten the heat shield where the headers drop down to...otherwise the will touch be held against it.
