Guys,

Just picked up a silencer for my exhaust. I did a before and after sound clip. Can't tell much from the clip, but when your cruising around and not heavy on the gas the silencer *really cuts down the sound levels*. Video is taken with my digicam so it's not the best quality but you get an idea...

Before the Silencer
After the Silencer

 

It definately made a difference in sound.

I read on Clownhair's thread that the opening was pretty big. It doesn't look that bad in the video, almost stock.

 

I think it's a 4 inch out. I think the stock tup is 3.5 inch

 

its 4" opening, I was sticking my arm into it and kinda thought it was big. It could be worse, like 6 inches.

 

.5" more is not so bad. I may be considering this setup.

 

I like it , I wish i had the money,.

 

sounds good man.

 

only thing i dont like about the SS is the sound, when i drove it i thought it sounded like a weed whacker...total turn off. But then again i drive a vr6, so theres nothing much that sounds better.

 

Sounds much deeper without the silencer I think.

 

both sound sweet...i think that i like it without the silencer though...like he said^^^ i think it sounds deeper...it may the the sound clip quality though... still sweet

 

I like it! Reminds me of when I first heard a 350Z exhaust. I love the tone!

 

Sounds good! What's what that puff of black smoke, though? I hope that was just stuff burning off the new exhaust....

 

possibility of getting a drive by of your exhaust? im thinking about picking this up cause i dont think the 2.5 will be the best for my plans down the road...but i dont want one that sounds raspy either...and im not gonna put a silencer in it either...what do ya think boss?

 

I am not worried about a little black smoke when your reving like that, just means it's running rich.

 

The exhaust has a 4 inch open tip, it's VERY loud without the silencer, it's not raspy but it's thundering loud. With the silencer the opening is 2.5 inches, which is the same size as the stock system.

I will try to get some video, but my digi cam does all the video and the sound capture SUCKS unless your right on top of it.

 

sounds pretty good .

 

Sounds too "teenager" to me. I'm not old, but I feel too old to drive around in a loud 4 banger. I'll wait to see what the Borla sounds like.

 

I love the way it sounds before the silencer..

 

Ya me too no silencer.

 

how much was the 3 inch exhaust from them?

 

Mines was 660 shipped with a titanium tip.

 

how much horsepower gain?

 

Zinners Dyno saw a gain of 10whp and 10WTQ.

 

Check thread dates... wow

 

Still got the exhaust installed, the silencer is stuck in there at this point and the catpipe/catback gasket has been a bitch to keep sealed up.
