Just installed my Dejon 3in catless dp and Jannetty 3in side exit exhaust yesterday.

Overall its a pretty good exhaust. Turbo noise in incredible, pops and gurgles. But its alittle too loud for my tastes. Thinking of adding a muffler or resonator to the straight potion on the exhaust.

Going to try and record a sound clip tonight.

i swapped my stock muffler for magnaflow straight thru muffler for 99 bucks, definately deeper, not much louder. Very happy, i reused the stock tip and extended 3 inches so i wouldnt black the paint.

That side exhaust that Jannetty Racing has looks pretty sweet, and is pretty cheap.

No because it was done professionally, looks good and isnt crimp bent, it's mandrel bent. I'd like to see you find a mandrel bent machine for $50.

WOW!! You're so cool because your Uncle owns a metal shop, who cares. Go to any shop, besides your Uncles, and you will always pay anywhere from $150-500 for an exhaust system. All a turbo back exhaust has is some bent pipe from the turbo to the back of the car, and what Jannetty Racing has is just shorter and comes out on the side instead of the back of the car. You wouldnt pay $200 for a bent pipe but you'll pay $550 for an overprices system from Hahn or any other parts store?

I'm not getting dick bent over anything!! You're just making it seem like all exhaust systems, or Jannetty Racing's in-particular suck, and is just a waste of money. Some people have family who own car dealerships, some people have family who own engine shops, and so forth. I just think your general attitude towards spending money on an exhaust system is biased because you have access to a metal shop.

I have no problem spending 500 bucks on a nice exhaust, im just saying i wouldn't buy that exhaust cause to me it would be a waste of money. I wouldn't want my uncle to make me one either or myself cause we both have 0 clue on how to make a decent exhaust and all the physics or whatever it is you put into it. That exhaust could be the best in the world, i just dont see 200 dollars in it.

Just wanted to know if anyone has a full custom exhaust cause i would rather goto a exhaust shop and get it made. If the guy that makes my exhaust charges me 400 bucks, then so be it, atleast i have a one of a kind exhaust as apposed to everyone else.

I totally understand what you're saying. Only problem with a custom exhaust is that I have yet to find an exhaust shop where I live that has a mandrel bent machine. All of the machines are crimp bent, and I dont want that.

Very nice!! But I would ditch the resonator and bolt up a catless DP, LOL!! But that system does look sweet as hell.

Have never heard of that company!! And I believe it would sound different on the LNF.
