Re: Picked up a new car

Quiet does not mean restrictive. What is the flow rate on that exhaust? Next a larger "muffler" will not help. The pipe needs to be replaced, that would include the down pipe as well.

Re: Picked up a new car
I'm not making big power at all my buddy still needs to dig around for the dyno sheets but i'm tuned to 10 psi. I'm guessing around 250 whp? piping i have there now is a 2.5 straight pipe no cat.

Hey man!
If your exhaust on the car currently is the Apexi WS2 n/a catback exhaust. It has a piping OD of 2.36" and the muffler restricts your top end power.
So you deffinately can see some gains in going 3" straight pipe with any 3" turbo muffler. I used the Apexi World Sport 2 3" Turbo muffer in my applications with the KTeller 3" pre-fabricated stainless steel exhaust and had GREAT success with a very nice sounding exhaust in my old boosted set up.
in terms as to howmuch power you are making. It's all hard to say without knowing the specifics of the turbo kit you have. Turbo size will make a difference as to what power levels your putting out at 10PSI. You mentioned your running Type R cams, this will net you more HP over stock GSR Cams for sure. When I swapped my B16 cams out for CTR cams only leaving Cam timing stock I picked up 27whp.
I.E when I had my old Garrett t3/t4 turbo .63 on the exhaust side I made 310whp @ 10psi, when I changed the turbo alone to a Garrett GT35R with a .82 AR on the exhaust side I made 350WHP @10PSI.
Just some food for thought!
If your buddy cannot find his dyno sheets. Take that car to a dyno and get a reading of what its putting down. Shouldn't cost more than $100.
Hope this helps!

Re: Picked up a new car
3 inch exhaust on turbo cars and small turbos sound like stock...on a big turbo with a big exhaust housing then they get a lil louder....4 inch on a gt42/s372...sounds like an allmotor

Re: Picked up a new car
Stop just trying the change parts out for the sake of doing so. Understand WHAT YOU HAVE before getting rid of it for something else.

Re: Picked up a new car
if you can't tell right away because there's too much oil, clean all the oil off with a rag and some brake cleaner, then get under there with a flashlight to see where the fresh oil is coming from.
