Take a close look at these two pictures and see if you can tell a difference. The first person to guess right gets a cookie. Let's just say that becaues of this the GTC is faster. :smokin:

An exhaust and a car seat being handled by a man in front of it. And also less glare! Do I get 3 cookies?

Damn, it was that obvious. Well, time to pay up:

The guy is the background is actually Bezerk2112 and if you zoom in he has an evil look on his face. Anyhow, it is my new exhaust. I just got it installed today. It is a full 3" mandrel bent system from the turbo back. It has a Catco cat, Dynomax Race Bullet muffler, and a Borla Intercooler tip. It sounds real nice and has a low rumble to it. It doesn't sound like a 4 cylinder anymore. It also isn't obtruivly loud in the cabin at crusing speeds. It is also noticably faster. In fact during a hard run the clutch started slipping. Here are all the parts:

Two of the cookies is for noticing the exhaust, the rest is for noticing me! Look at all I gave you! Eggs, bread, jinger snaps!

The GTC Looks great! It sounds mean too. When I had my labaron and had the exhaust done it didn't sound anything like that. Congrats!

haha the first thing i saw was that the muffler was gone. i thought you were gonna put some kind of resonator in the mid section but i guess you just went straight thru. how does it sound?

Well, the downpipe goes into the car, the cat into the muffler, so they are both in the transmission tunnel. Then it just goes out the back. At idle it has a low deep burble. At cruise it's the same just louder but it doesn't intruse into the cabin. It is the same at WOT but you hear the turbo more so it isn't obnoxious. I'll see if I can get a recording and post it up.

I would never expect a car like yours to sound like that. It sounds hella sexy, makes me wanna hurry up and get an exhaust for my car now. Just need to get a job, then I'm set to go. [/hijack] Very nice man, very nice. I want a video!

Thanks for the compliments guys. :)

I had someone tell me it sounds like a V8 the other day. Not quite, but it made me feel good.

I wouldn't say V8, but definently a high powered V6! Honeltly I have never heard a 4 banger sound like that before.

Nope, cause' it rained that day so I have a good excuse, but tomorrow I am off work and it is getting a good scrubbing? That reminds me, what is good for cleaning the engine besides engine degreaser. I usually use Gunk engine degreaser but it discolors concrete and at the new house the hose doesn't reach to the street. I heard that those sprays made from orange oil work well?

If you think the outside of the GTC is dirty, you should see the engine. :shakehead

Lol. Well it wasn't THAT dirty, lol. I was just messing with ya mainly. Both of my trucks are filthy right now, and the race car ain't much better (its not been touched since July 1st, lol). Coalfields + rain = terrible road grime. As for the engine bay, I dont really know. I avoid doing that as much as I can. I will occasionally take a rag and wipe dust, etc. but that's about it.
