Default new exhaust. good thing the cops wont notice.

some of you may know my car is boosted.* as of a few days ago it was just the kit 2.5 downpipe bolted to the stock exhaust with a qtp exhaust cutout.* the cutout was actually slightly smaller than 2.5 inches due to the flange seat.* it was stealth which i liked but it was not fast friendly at all.* the time it took to open the dam thing and close it combined with the smell made it the worst idea ever.

i finally got around to getting something done about it.* after months of research i finally found most of the parts needed to complete the job.* im still looking for a way to turn it off completely but i think i have a solution in sight.*

the new exhaust setup cut the downpipe short. i put a summit bullet muffler in front of where the stock cat was and bumped it up to 3 inches back to the gas tank where it meets back up with the stock exhaust.* i found a full 3 inch full billet valve that was set up for the buyer to bring their own actuator.* i used an actuator that was made for some part of a mustang and put an extra spring on it to pull it back.* its vacuum actuated so its open when the car is off and closes as soon as its turned on.* when the vacuum control is open as soon as it hits -2 in/hg thanks to the spring,allowing it to provide full power when i want it, as soon as i want it.* best of all, thanks to that little muffler its sounds low and smooth before boost comes on and it just gets pissed as **** as the boost rolls in.

the best part is, when its in always closed the exhaust is no longer slowed by the cat and it actually builds a little bit of boost through the stock muffler

what it looks like on the car

smooth merge back into the stock axle back
