how about i just add another lb of boost and completely ignore that extra bend in the exhaust

 

if there was a "like" button I would like that

 

i think sti's, supra's, Rx-7's, Evo's and 240sx's can only pull this off

 

Has a BuyHIDs.com Sticker. We'll put one on your rear! Altho that sticker is the old style.

 

because at some point when you turn up the boost you are only going to be blowing hot air and making no more real power.

 

yeah my bullseye s256 extended tip is going to run out of breath real quick

 

ok if you wanna sacrifice efficiency for looks that all up to you.

 

you are acting like the exhaust is going to be making a 180* turn. it's one slight 45* bend

 

on a subie its 2 turns one of them being almost 90 degrees. On the cobalt you have to go over that rear axel thing. I haven been under a cobalt since I did viks exhaust which about 8 months ago but if I remember right it wasn't exactly the best for flow

 

i have a 90* coming off of the turbo, a 90* before the rear axle, the bend over the rear axle and then the angle for the muffler

 

alright then one more bend wont make that much of a difference. Im used to my car where there is a 45 off the compressor then a 30ish if even that then no rel bends till the muffler

 

Get a silver plate frame made and ill slap that on

 

Muffler just came in today, here it is.. HKS Knock off, 2.25" inlet to a 4.25" outlet.

 

new exhaust done. need to bend the hangers a little to bring it up about an inch or so

 

Looks great! Love that style

 

 

and it sounds good. listen to that walbro whine before start up. lol

Looks awesome man! And sounds good too. I can't wait to get mine done now, hopefully within the next week or so... I still can't decide on the angled look or not.... Humf.

 

Alright guys, I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with my exhaust here... Let's say I bought the piping listed below and then used the muffler I already bought, how well do you think that would work together? will the new piping bolt up to my factory header? or would i need adapters and all that junk...

Or should I just buy a full cat back exhaust and then use my own muffler? Like this:

i personal haven't used the mandrel exhaust systems kit, but i hear it fits like ****. i know that doesnt help. i would be tempted to buy that SPS kit and cut the muffler off.

 

Alright, well I just bought this exhaust system just for the piping and then im going to cut off the muffler that comes with it,
and install the one that I bought separate. It should sound pretty good!.... hopefully.
