just like the title says what is a good exaust sytem for turbo 12a ? any suggestions?

 

I'd say Racing Beat but there could be a better system out there for a turbo

 

RB doesn't make a bolt up system for a turbo 12A, it will pretty much has to be custom. The 12A system that they have is way too small to provide proper flow for a turbocharged car.

 

yea, if your using the stock manifld spaced out then you can use a FC downpipe, and then you can do a custiome exhaust back and it shoud be atleast 2.5 inches, and you should use urestricted mufflers like magnaflow, or others of the like. im in the process of doing mine right now, so if you have any questions feel free to PM me, or FB II im sure he wouldnt mind, infact im sure hell chime in. hes helped me out alot with my setup.

 

4 mandrel 45 degree bends 1-90 degree. 4 foot long straight section. some kind of glasspack type muffler to put in the middle and your choice of muffler at the end.

Use 2 45s to make your down pipe, several flanges. 2-45's and a 90 to get up, over and back down the axle.
i made mine out 2.5 inch aluminzed exhaust pipe

 

where did you buy these pipes?

 

bump

 

JC whitney cheap cheap cheap. got some 2.5 inch flanges from them too and a big exhaust pipe cutter.

My exhaust isnt pretty but as you can see by the avatar it puts the exhaust gasses where they needs to be

 

what kind of muffler did you use?

 

ebay cheapo straight though, my car is loud. but I dont mind.

I do have two vids on the forum that'll give you an idea of how loud it is.

 

First off, I had a RB downpipe to start it all. I bought pipes from summit, 2.5 all the way, pretty cheap. I used a magnaflow cat, magnaflow stainless straight-through, and a cheap summit muffler on the back. Incredibly quiet, quite the sleeper. It was kind of a pain, as I'm not much of a welder, but I got the job done.

 

i love magnaflow..........

 

Hey anybody know what would be a good muffler to have under the body before the rear axle for my turbo project?

 

dynamax bullet is what i used right off my downpipe. i dunno why all you guys are using 2.5" piping. i made my exhaust using 3" all the way. i welded the dp directly to the main flange coming off the s4 turbo housing. used two 45 degree bends with a piece of straight in between, then went straight out the back UNDER the axle using one more 45 degree bend and a magnaflow to finish it off.... ALL mandrel. floooows like a mother fugger!



oh and it's actually pretty quiet when cruising.
