    Sound clip of headers, no cat, and thrush glasspacks.

    Pretty rhaspy, but that's the price paid for getting the best power for the buck. No resonators, just an X-pipe, dual 2" pipes and long tube headers.

    Glasspacks are perforated core rather than louvered and are i believe 24" (pretty long).

    Total price invested was around $500, $240 for the headers, $30 for the mid pipe, $140 for the cat-back, $40 for the glasspacks, $45 for the tips just because.



    I personally love the sound, but i know alot of guys hate rhaspy.

    Yes, i hit rev limiter, i'm not used to shifting while the car is still making power, threw my powerband up quite a bit.

        Yeah, i don't hate rhaspy because it means they did something other than throw a fart can on a stock exhaust and call it a day. Usually it's those cars that people say "Sounds good"

        IMO it sounds terrible because i know they did nothing but that to it, i know when people's exhaust is rhaspy, they have real work done to it.

              Link is not working for me, but that is the same setup that i have on my e30. But i got 2 1/4" pipe with 14" long glasspacks from summit. And i love how mine sounds. But i don't think that other people do cause they run off from me on the hi-way when i'm beside them.

                    I gained some on my car, it's a m20b27. It will spin in 1st and some in 2ed then bark the tires in 3ed sometimes. i got 3.73 gears in mine. normal driving it does just fine also, i didn't feel no bottom end lost.

                      I don't even know, i assume the b25 is the i and the b27 is the e?

                      It's an '87 i.

                          I noticed quite a bit of loss and my MPG went down significantly, i went from around 23mpg city to 19-20.
