Old exhaust:
-FMS ceramic coated shorty's
-MAC off road H-pipe
-Flowmaster 2 chambers

New exhaust:
-BBK ceramic coated Long tubes
-Custom X-pipe (pypes crossover)
-Flowmaster 2 chambers.

I still have a few leaks to deal with. My first impression driving was, what did I leave in the exhaust pipe? Its really quiet! No more drone, and alot quieter then I ever expected. My wife knows nothing about cars, but she said it sounds completely different, she'll actually ride in it now.

I just drove around the city so I really couldn't get on it, but the low-mid range power is REALLY nice, definitely gained alot in the mid-range power.

Now, whether this was worth consuming 1.2% of my lifespan to put on is another discussion.

Just wanted to post this for some of you that have been thinking about going with this set-up. This weekend I'm putting on my Magnaflow catback and getting the car to the dyno. I have digital video of all my exhaust clips if anyones interested.

Thanks man, besides the welding I did everything on my own, pipe bending, cutting etc. My Dremel tool is about to die.

Sometimes quieter is better. With my current exhaust setup, it drones so much, it's starting to get annoying.

I just bought a new house in a quiet neighborhood so I wanted something a little quieter. Plus my commute to work went from 2 minutes to 30 minutes.

I have all 3 setups on digital, not sure how to post them yet, plus I don't have internet access at my home yet. When I do I'll post them up.

My new setup is the same, but with Magnaflow mufflers.

I'm VERY interested in your dyno results. This is something I have been kicking around for a LONG time now, but I just can't bring myself to do it. If I see proven power gains I think that will be all the nudging I need! Your car was strong in the mid range before, so that's awesome if you gained even more out of it!

Me too, I've seen good gains with LT's, and good gains with Magnaflow's over Flowmaster mufflers.

My car just overheated this morning on my way to work. I think my fan went out, so I might have to wait awhile to get results.

Cool. Plesae post sounds and dyno. I have heard that the long-tubes make a nice difference but only with the better flowing heads than stock. Just FYI.
