i got a 89 n/a i want to put an intake and get headers and straight through exhaust with no cats. i whant to know if this is a good idea, what are the pros and cons. also am not worried abut emission. i heard that the car would be really loud but thats what am looking for, is that true. thnxs for any coments or advice

 

its going to be VERY loud...like annoying loud.

IMO get some decent mufflers to quite it down some.

 

should i get dual or single exhaust? also would it soung like a rotary if u know what i mean

 

anyone else

 

ive always been told that dual is a much better choice over single. thats why i bought mine and its sweet. true dual all the way out. i bought the entire exhaust system from mazatrix.com. it came with rb header pre-silincers and your choice of rb or hks mufflers. i got the hks but if your going for loud the rb is what you want.

 

yes it will still sound like a rotary.

dual is pimp IMO, if you could go w/ true duals you might see some signicant power gains.

 

my goal here is to make this car really loud to bother everyone and so that i can be heard from blocks away and to shoot out flames aswell

 

your going to want a louder stero. I had 2.5" duals into 4" echo chanbers and even normal driving iw was very loud. When I would really get on it I could not hear my own strero. My stero was nothing fancy though.

 

yeah thats ok this car is just something i wanna drive on weekends just to show off and turn peoples heads, am probably not even gon have a radio, but tell me more about that 2.5 to 4 am interested maybe ill do that, was it really loud like u can be heard block away and did it sound like a rotary?

 

You sound like a ricer.

HEAR MY OBNOXIOUS CAR

VROOM VROOM BRAP BRAP.

 

Believe am not am just tyred of spending so much money on fc's am getting kinda old so i just want that for fun u know when the flames shoot out

 

Get mufflers.

Trust me. After 6 months of it EVERYDAY with the backfiring and loud lawnmower-sounding exhaust, you will want it to be muffled a bit.

 

pehaps but like i said its just to drive it around on weekends and if it get too anoying then i get the muflers

 

ok maybe i am def but my car was not that loud at all with strait pipes on it. It was a 88 GTU. Totaly driveable didnt have a radio. Really not that loud. It crappy looking real crappy. the guy before me had it on there. I would let you call and here it but i have got my new motor in yet.

 

You can be heard for blocks with a presilencer and mufflers. You can be heard for MILES without them. I was running an open header for a while, and my parents could hear me for several minutes (1-2 miles) even inside the house.

 

Unbolt the stock exhaust at the manifold and put a straight pipe out the passenger side.

Mine has a huge exhaust leak right at where the pipe hooks to the manifold and it's annoying as hell.

 

lmfao , i want something like that, but what do you mean open header. If anyone could post some pictures of their setup ill apprciated

 

Oh man i ran open headers on my NA for a while, and its cool for like 30 seconds. Its SOOOO loud, but its not really a rotary sound...its hard to explain. SO MUCH NOISE. alot from the sound hitting walls and trees and echoing back to you. loud fosho but doesnt sound good.

 

One of the prvieous FC's I had I wanted to make something stupid loud...so I put a 2.75" wide mandrel 90* bend off the stock manifold and ran it through a cut-out in the pass fender right behind the front wheel...it was exceptionally cool to look at and sounded cool for about 3 minutes. From a distance it sounded like 12 really pissed off rexes coming to eat something...

If you want to do something that'll just annoy people then get a couple of 15" or bigger thumpers and drive around town playing bad music at 450db...it seems to be a really effective tool used by the thug/wigger crowd in my neck of the woods.

 

Now i need help because now am confused, i want to make this car loud but at the same time make it sound like a rotary, i just dont want the noice i want people to know that it a rotary without having to look at the car and i also dont want to spend a lot of money no more than $200 but if i think its worth it ill consider putting a little more money. thnxs for the help and ideas

 

You can have good sound or immense volume but not both. Sorry.

 

well ifits like that i rather have the car just sound like a rotary but what do i have to do to make it sound like a rotary

 

build or buy a propper exhaust. Countless threads available here on the subject.

 

can anyone guide me to the proper info or does anyone else have any ideas. also i can weld maybe that would be useful, thnxs

 

If you want to do it yourself and want good sound, stick with the stock manifold, ditch the cats, get a pre-silencer of some variety, use a quality canister muffler, and plumb it all in a single exit 2.5" exhaust. You'll have a good balance between expense, sound, and volume.
