I need something like this but what I have found so far isn't even close.

Thanks in advance.

Chris

I got them from a local shop here in sweden!

you should be able to find equal in your country...

or else i could send you some bends :lol:

Looking really good Gustav! Now we will have 2 more wastegates marks on the floor in the dyno room:lol: Not to speak about the sound when the 2 opens:icon_tup: Should be a nice hearing for the neighbours:Wconfused

looks great! but one question, why is the one dump tube going up and over the other when it looks like it could just go down? or is the subframe in the way?

Yes there was no room for it to go the same way.

I will take a picture when its on the car, then you'll see :)

most of it is finished, got all the parts on coating now, because of christmas and new year everything takes extra time :hahaha:

within a few weeks ill get her on the dyno and then we'll see how much boost i dare to run :lol:

gusfd3s 01-02-09 05:04 PM

gaaah... can't make up my mind whether to make a new 4" full exhaust or staying with my old 3".... feels wrong to stay 3" but i don't want to make my ears bleed more than they do when im out criusing..


What to do?

ZAN_TUNING 01-02-09 05:25 PM

i've done a couple full 4" exhaust on bridgeports and it really wasn't that bad! :D

as long as there are no exhaust leaks and the muffler exit a little past the bumper it wont resonate and drone inside the car. Outside..... that's another story but who cares!?!?!?!! hahaha

silvr94r2 01-02-09 08:29 PM

Great lookin project you got goin there!!! Makes me wanna get out and work on mine....now if i can just get some money to finish it :( lol

Cant wait to see how your setup works. I've got a very similar setup ;) I mean....VERY similar!!

What type of welder are you using? what brand?

What to do?

Yes, I agree that it seems wrong to choke the 4" down to 3". If you want to maintain the surface area of a 4" pipe without all the noise, consider running a pair of 3" pipes. The area will be slightly more so you'll have similar flow (or better), and the noise reduction will be better than you can achieve with a 4" pipe.

Did you polish that yourself or have it professionally done?

It looks great!

Not at all :) now i know why it looks so familiar :D I can't wait to see how it turns out being that we're so similar.

gusfd3s 01-09-09 01:56 PM
