Exhaust sections?

[ol_blue]

I recently built an exhaust from the turbo to muffler, am I the only one that changed the section where the 2nd o2 sensor is and that goes over the steering rack to a bigger diameter?

While I'm not 100% on this I am fairly certain Eric and stratton have done full turbo back exhaust including the flexpipe/2nd O2 section.

How much did it run you and how's it sound Ol Blue?

I believe Eric's pipe starts after the steering rack and replaces to flex-back. But I'll let him clarify as it will only be a matter of time before he smells a thread that he hasn't marked with his urine and will post here.

Cost was the muffler so far. I did all the welding and fitment myself at my buddies shop. It's nice to have my back scratched every once in a while.
Sounds good, very mellow. I used a magnaflow muffler and get next to no drone. The high pitch whistle of the turbo spooling almost drowns out the exhaust tone though, almost like a diesel pickup. When the boost comes on then it gets pretty loud. Gonna redo the front sections later so I can bolt the stock cats back up just in case.

My urine hasn't been here yet!

I have a turbo back. Catless downpipe from ZZP, then 2.5" back from that. I had a buddy with an exhaust shop bend me some pipe. And an 18" magnaflow resonator right after where the flex pipe used to be.

Lmao! A picture every time

Did you ditch the 2nd o2?

 

[sx sonic]

Very nice. Awesome deal, can we get a sound bite in the future?

What did you use for a flex pipe and what size did you go with?

 

[ol_blue]

2nd o2 still there, both cats bye bye. The flex pipe is similar to the stock one but all 2.5"

Wow. That must have been ungodly loud before the resonator!

 

[rdss]

Eric, you're proud of that resonated exhaust!! Hope helped you pick out the 18" Magnaflow resonator?

 

[Eric Smit]

Hilariously loud. ;P

rdss- did you mean who helped pick it out? A badass dude. He's on the forum. He goes by the handle "rdss."

Thinking of going this route as well. I had the ZZP downpipe for months but haven't put it in because it ends in a 2.25 flange and piping. I've been looking for mandrel bender in my area that will do a system from the turbo back. If I can find one that does a 3in, that will be nice. The ZZP downpipe starts at 3in so I assume the turbo ends in a 3 in.

It doesn't appear to neck down in the picks on BNR's website. Maybe Eric can give us seem feed back. I think 2.5" is on the large side for this motor and think 3" is just over kill, but if you get it done post pics.

I'm currently overcoming some rib issues. it's hard to breathe, let alone speak/drive. shifting is a bitch, but I love driving so it's worth it.

rdss- I did not pay too much attention to the downpipe when I put it on, but I don't remember one side being noticeable larger than the other.

I really like the sound of the resonator in your car eric

 

[Eric Smit]

thanks.
