I caved...

DUAL EXHAUST WITH FLOWMASTER 80 SERIES INSTALLED AND ROXXORING /end caps !!!!~~~!!111one

omg it sounds so awesome... I had them hack off the resonator too... at the end of it all, I had my entire dual setup done, including purchasing the muffler, for $245. All I need are exhaust tips now and it will totally rock.

You can def. tell a difference in accel, especially since I get between 2nd and 3rd or 2nd and 1st and it takes FOREVER to shift gears... I totally need a PCM to fix this problem (faster shifting). WOOOOOOOOO I wanna go driving more, especially since gas is $1.82 now!

And plus now I know two more great places to get things installed, and a guy that will totally rebuild my engine for me for $1000 in 4 days! That includes if I buy new parts as well!

Pics coming soon!

Re: I caved...

Get that DHP PCM, and you'll feel it G00000ooooo!


Thats a very nice job too on the exhaust.. looks mandrel bent.. very smooth

Better than my piece-together lol

Run it for about a week and make sure theres no leaks in the welds.. I had to go back and have them drip some steel in the cracks... sealed it up nice and good

Also, its just gonna get louder as you run it more and/or go on a long drive... more heat will tone it out pretty good... oh yea heat.. that sucker gets HOT!


btw, ur backup light connector is dangleh

Re: I caved...

Hahah yeah I gotta get that fixed...

And I might buy the PCM with my tax return

But damn it's already almost too loud... I can hear it over my 900w subwoofer in a 38hz tuned box... that's pretty crazy. I might have to sound deaden a bit or put a damn resonator back on lol.

But yeah they did a VERY good job... I was hesitant at first because they could barely speak english and had a hard time understanding my concerns and answering my questions, but I'm damn glad I went there. Cheap and awesome!

BTW how can you tell if there are leaks?

It'll do like a raspy sound when its running and/or you can feel the welds all around... feel small amounts of poofy air.. leak lol

When I went to do mine, he would turn the welding machine down to a subtle flame or w/e while my car was running and would just put the flame around the weld.. if it was sputtering or movin around in some area.. Leak... and he would seal it up w/e some steel rod or w/e


Loud? nah lol, it could be SO MUCH LOUDER, trust me lol... run only stock headers and ur cat and cut-off at the flange.... you sound almost rice and the interior of the car shakes ... thats loud haha
On my car though I really think that the smaller dual tips I have placed on there restricts a little bit, no worries tho... its almost as loud as my friends v8 98cobra when I do WOT... he has a K&N fuel injection kit w/ air charger w/e filter and dual flowmaster exhaust heh.. so I think im doin pretty good

Re: I caved...

Ya mine is loud too. Seems to get louder as time goes by

If I lived in a smaller town,
I'm sure that I'd get pulled over by the 5.0 regularly

Especially over by the MALL
