OK after posting something on here about wether I would regret doing a straight pipe all the way back to the muffler, I was told I would regret it if I didnt put on some pre-sliencers...

Wel.... I didnt listen, and I am very glad I didnt.
I went to a local Muffler shop on friday and had them put in a 2" dual primary exhaust off my RB streetpory headerback to my RB powerpulse muffler....

The thing sounds awsomne!!!!!!!! very, very tolirable noise levels. Even my girlfriend agrees.......

As far as added power goes, Holy ****!!
The power band is alot more smooth and linear from 3000 to about 4500 but at 5000 the thing explodes and keeps pulling till I shift...
Lets put it this way, my buddy has a 97 Ford SVT Conture, nice car. Before I held about dead even with him through first and second and about half way through 3rd when he would pullon me.....
Well I raced him yesterday, and I pulled on him all the way through the top of 3rd when I backed off........ I had about 1 to 1 1/2 car lenghts on him...


I have an open track play day and PIR today, so I guess ill really get to feel how it is.....

 

doesn't matter if it's tolerable to you, is it tolerable to the local police department.

 

 

id say the fact that his girlfirend finds it tolerable is a good enough indicator. not many women have a threshold of tolerance for loud exausts that exceeds that of the local five-oh.

 

I wish you were closer, I wanna come check out the sound . How did track day go? Did you make it down?

As far as the noise goes, I had a few guys from RPNW that were at the track day yesterday very surprised as to how quiet it was......

The track day went awsome!!!! I was almost a second faster than a buddies mostly stock 3rd Gen.
It was an Alfa Romeo club hosting the event.

At one of the sesions I was on a Viper GTS's *** and he coiuldent shake me for most of the session..... But if he got even 10 feet of straight road he pulled 10 car lengths on me, but it was fun to catch up to him in the corners.
I am deffinetly hooked!!

 

Vipers are for old men with money who want to impress young girls. Just my admittedly biased opinion.

 

So when are you getting your Viper, Wankelguy?

 

HAHAHAA, I have never been a Viper fan and am even less of a Viper driver fan.
I think there is a recuirement from the dealership when you buy one that you have to be a complete dick to drive or own one!!
I know there are the exceptions, but so far almost everyone that I have met that drives a Viper has that "Holier than though, you arent good enough for me" attitude....
But whatever, it just feels good to chase one down.
