Beautiful 'vert stromam. I assume it wasn't that nice when you got it as a project car? Nice work in that case.




It snowed today at my place... car still hasn't been touched in 5 or 6 weeks now...

So i finally decided to put my true dual exhaust on now that the weather has somewhat started to clear up.

Old, pieced together exhaust:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/justin1992/8641199911/" title="IMG_20130411_163951 by jdkemmet, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8403/8641199911_face25a1ec_b.jpg" width="768" height="1024" alt="IMG_20130411_163951"></a>

New(used) True Dual setup:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/justin1992/8641200111/" title="IMG_20130411_152009 by jdkemmet, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8536/8641200111_493d781a31_b.jpg" width="768" height="1024" alt="IMG_20130411_152009"></a>

Pic for shitsngiggles:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/justin1992/8641199765/" title="IMG_20130411_172314 by jdkemmet, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8246/8641199765_28da4bfb8f_b.jpg" width="1024" height="768" alt="IMG_20130411_172314"></a>

And last but not least, showing off at my buddies' shop. I really wish this didn't turn out so blurry because in person, this would have made for a fantastic shot. Too bad i didn't realize it was until just now. Oh well:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/justin1992/8642299806/" title="IMG_20130411_212820 by jdkemmet, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8122/8642299806_af5de5fe2e_b.jpg" width="1024" height="723" alt="IMG_20130411_212820"></a>

All in all i like it, especially the mufflers; Looks amazing. Especially compared to that POS i had before. My only complaint is loudness; It's a $1200 RACE exhaust system and i can't even hear the ******* car running unless I'm above 6k...But it sounds like it's got an amazing tone to it, so i figure i may buy some RB dual flanges and weld up my own test pipe, like I did with my old exhaust. It's seriously not any louder than a stock exhaust setup. But it has potential

I'd like to buy that header and build an exhaust from there back. I'm not a fan of the mufflers :P

Could you take a quick vid some time? Idle, revving in or out of the car and maybe even a fly by.

That's how exhaust videos should be. I'm curious because I wanted that exhaust but 1,200 is a lot for an exhaust that won't do much difference to our N/A engines.

They're Varrstoen V1's in Matte Bronze. 16x8 +15 iirc.


I don't know how to make these any smaller, sorry. I'm sure more vids will come later Working on finding some pipe to delete that presilencer, you can't really hear it running below 4 grand, and I've always preferred my exhaust on the louder side. The cell phone amplifies it a little bit, that or it's louder behind the car than it is inside it like it's supposed to be and I'm just not used to not having exhaust leaks on the top and bottom of every single piece of my previously misaligned exhaust? Perhaps...

No flames anymore, either D: It has an amazing deep tone to it, I'm kinda afraid that taking the silencer off will make it TOO loud though...If it was just a bit louder I'd be happy with it

Yeah that wasn't as loud as I was expecting. You can hear my car idling when at a set of lights. Not sure how my car sounds from another car though, I wish I did.

I can't even hear my car running inside my car unless I'm above 5500 rpm. And even then the windows have to be down with the sunroof open and preferably with enclosed walls around you lol.

Wow! I still have stock cats and pre-cats and I feel like it's louder than that exhaust. :S I'll take videos sometime soon and compare.

I'll throw some pics up once my set-up is done at racefab.

I kinda had a feeling that the presilencer would eliminate sound.
I bought the headers and catback. Racefab is welding a test pipe for me.
