Finishing Exhaust system tommorow, hows it sound?
 

I'm open to any idea's & or critisism I am just trying to figure out if this sounds okay? and if you guys see any downside to this setup?

I have a 3 Inch RacingBeat Downpipe & 3 Inch RacingBeat Pre silencer. I was goign to finish off with the rest of the 3 IN. RB setup, but it won't be ready in time. So then I was going to get the Apexi Dual N1 setup .. but I found out its only ~60mm at the Y pipe (to small fug that) So I got these Apexi Canisters

"APEX'i N1 Series Universal Turbo Mufflers can be used in the fabrication of practically any exhaust system. The unit consists of a canister and tip, which must be welded onto custom piping. Sound levels must be controlled through piping diameter and the effective use of resonators. These N1 Series Universal Turbo Mufflers are available in a variety of colors: Silver, Gold, Blue, Black, Green, and Magneta Turbo Muffler 80mm inlet, 115mm outlet."

I am having a full 80mm (3.15 Inch) Y pipe and dual pipes welded to those caisters off of my pre silencer. Anyone see any problems? or have any sugestions. My mods are in my Sig.

If you guys think this all sounds okay I am going to proceed with the custom installation tommorow.


Thanks,
Robert

Thats what im doing. Thunderfab 3" DP/MP though. No sense in wasting money on the RB system when it won't bolt up when I get an aftermarket turbo.

My 3" RB DP bolts right up to my Hybrid, you going lager than a T04?

that will be ok as long as you get the canister in green. :P

Can I just ask why they even offer colours? Damn honduhs...

It's gotta be the Honduh's! ... but not only that .. but they want +$75 for one of the colors .. LOL, they should pay me to put that colored crap on my car.

I am thinking it's going to be pretty freakin loud? what do you guys think? I don't want it to sound obsene, or ricer.

Opps I meant to Edit .. not quote myself :)

Okay so? no drastic changes to make? this sounds okay? It shoul dbe all done by noon tommorow, I can't wait :D

Be ready for a weedwacker sound. Very hard to make an rx sound sweet with a straight trough exhaust. You'll probably also have a horrid drone at about 3k on the highway.

Uh, no downpipe that bolts to the stock turbo is going to bolt straight to an aftermarket turbo.

Well if its that bad and it begins to bother me .. they make plug in silencers for these mufflers. I might have to go that road.

Ya I realize that .. but they bolt on to the Hybrids just fine.. I assumed that was what he was doing.. it seems to be kinda the norm with a Turbo upgrade.

I'm sure it's the same mufflers as the N-1 cat back... so it'll sound the same

Right. That's why he's buying the cheap one now, and getting one custom made later.

At least, that's how I read it.

Well i did it folks! i am sooo pummped I rode 30 miles to Modesto with just my DP on .. loud as hell, but great boost! I left there, FULL 3 IN all the way back .. I lost NO boost and it sounds damn mean! I will post a few pics later .. Im at my GF's right now ... I took pic's with it up on the ramp while they were doing it .. it went great!

Awsome! Can't wait to see the pics. Did you have them weld the mufflers parallel to the body like stock or at an angle like N1 Dual? I like the stock look of straight cans, but also the aggressive look of the slanted ones on a noticeably modded car.

I had them weld them strait like the stock ones... I will post pics in about 10 minutes.

Its been 10 minutes...just kidding but I'm looking forward to seeing the pics.

Here is the PICS. I can't find the memory card of the pics I took with it on the hoist. I will post them later when I find that card. So I snapped these just now... so you can get the idea.

Only thing I have left to do it the paint job, and get the leather seats recovered... then this bad boy is DONE!!

ahh and some dyno time.

Robert I think your exhaust sounds TOO Good haha.

Thanks man .. only thing that sucks is the neighbors and the cops :( .. glad you made it to the autoX, let me know if you need a hand with the car anytime.

I have a corksport 3" dp with a 3"glasspack(bad idea), and 3" mandrel bends I welded myself back to an-angled black Apexi N1 muffler. I like the looks of the black one as its a lil less noticeable than polished ones. I plan on replacing the glasspack that burned out immediately with a Borla XR1 in place where the cat was. Without the silncer in it is, of course, extremely loud with a definate rotary bark/rasp! Flows like hell though and is much lighter than the full RBeat setup I used to have. I have found that there is just as much value to be placed in the cat/resonator/midpipe as is the muffler as it has almost as much controll(as the muffler) over the overall exhaust note and decibal.

Slap a big gold N1 can on there and gold plate all yer badges... Baaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Too late for me :D I finished my exhaust over a year ago :D

Could you repost the pics? They don't work now.
