Open headers, Holy sh*t
Solo II loud...
[i]
I am competing in the SPL category at our local SOLO II. There's this 240Z with a 3" straight pipe that is about as loud as my car was with a straight pipe. Horrible horrible. [/B]

Yes, when we got kurgans 20B FC running, we ran open downpipe around the block at 4am.. It is not nearly as loud because of the turbo.. But it sounds SOOO damn mean..

Sledgehammer on the forum took off his cats and just had his header on (atleast it was his cats or pipe - i don't remember his set up) and shot a video with just an open header exhaust. It sounded pretty neat, but was incredibly loud.
This kid showed up at the track with just an open header, everyone was like oh crap that thing must be fast! It quickly turned into laughter as he ran a 16 something. He left his hood open while he was in the staging lanes and someone switched his plug wires around so that he couldn't run again LOL.

I love the sound, but it's too loud for the streets. In a couple of days, I run it open headers and get it on video. I'll run it at night so you can see the flames I can shoot out of it.
hmm so with open "downpipe" u hear the spool up louder? its not loud as a normally aspirated dual wankel? how much more "boost" will i receive with open "downpipe" also the "horsepower" of open "downpipe"?
What's open exhaust sound like on an RX-7?

That's what open exhaust sounds like on an RX-7.
I've never had a catalytic converter on any of my RX-7s

NICE! Do you have a clip of that exhaust setup? I would like to convert to Spintech true duals on my RX-7 and my pickup. Good mufflers, but I have no idea what a true dual Spintech would sound like on the 7.
my exuast pipe broke off somewhere near the exaust manifold on the NA i had before.. it was so friggin loud it hurt my ears when i drove it around awhile.. and i have high tolerant bass ears. my friend said it sounded like an airplane going down the road lol

Why doesn't the first link work? Could be because the thread is 8 months old. Some dumbass resurrected it.
Anyway, here is a vid of interest I just took.
