I'm going to have a straight pipe made from the stock b-pipe back. It's a good way to save weight and make noise (I miss the sound of an exhaust during a heel/toe downshift, and I'm tired of being the fastest car per dB at my local autocrosses) without spending much money until I can afford to put together a good 2.5" collector header/cat/custom catback combo.

Flybys are at the 3-4 shift, which is of course only 45 mph. The in-car has me fighting for traction a little, it's cold out.

You riceboy.

 

Heh, luckily my old baby launcher doesn't fit with my Comptech bar or I'd be even worse.

 

how to drive with one hand..

 

Heh, I don't bother with replacing my hand when I'm screwing around. If I have a student in the car that's another thing.

I got the pipe made, should have a couple pics and maybe another vid up soon.

Pros: Quieter inside the car, no gas-chamber effect, looks like a factory pipe, saved a whopping 19 lbs over the stock muffler

Cons: It's a little louder outside the car than just the b-pipe since I used 2.25" piping, and a little boomy at cruising speeds, but my stock radio can still drown it out so that's fine. I also need to get some BBQ paint and paint it flat black.

 

2.25" straight pipe from the b-pipe back.

Painted with Krylon BBQ paint. The sun is bright so it looks shinier than it is.

 

sounds good. looks good - lucky man.

 

like the sound

 

My 3.5 year old stopped playing with his Hot Wheels to listen. He said it was "totally awesome!".

 

Haha, sweet.

 

sounds pretty good!

 

Sounds smooth! I too am running 2.5" back from the B-pipe, only I have a turbo acting as a muffler.

 

Varroooooom!
