Can You still buy Frankencar Performance Parts. what's the best exhaust kit you can do from frankencar i want it to sound good. i listen to a flowmaster clip on here it sound like a V8 it sounded pretty good.

 

not new...they no longer make parts for us...common knowledge on here

 

ok thanks sooner. but on there site it says they do it doesnt say they went out of business.

 

its listed on their site...but click on "buy now" and you get nothing
there are lots of people (including myself) that are dieing for a frankencar catback. ive been looking for about 2 years for a used one. ive only gotten the b-pipe so far.

 

hopefully they will pop up by the time i get my 6 speed do you think i should look into getting a Sentra SE-R Spec V for learning how to drive stick i think frankencar makes performance parts for them.

 

Frankencar's exhaust uses a Mussa muffler and resonator, *if* you can source the same muffler, paired with any resonator and you'll have a Frankencar replica.

 

I'll sell mine for $650 plus shipping.

 

do you have a sound clip.

 

Yes I do.

Resize your sig pic, its way to big.

 

all i hear is birds chirping
i told him once and he deleted the pic....then put it back on.
im telling pat

 

Sig fixed for now....

 

Fine I'll get a better video next time and I'll take my bb gun and shoot at the birds so that they are gone.

 

thanks
BTW, an intake or exhaust clip is better while driving since the sound is different under load.

.308 ftw... All you have to do is fire a ground shot and they are all gone.

 

Alright I'll get a load video too.

Also your steering wheel isn't centered

 

that was on a slight left curve

 

do you have headers on the car? if not, the cattman to me is DEAD quiet. however, with headers on now, its a lot louder, but i like it. i know noise is subjective to everyone, so why not stay with the stock muffler? i would have, but mine rotted away at only 42K

 

not yet.
ive heard the cattman (puppetmaster) and the frankencar (irish) and i like the sound of the frankencar more.
i have my stock muffler right now but i need to replace it soon...the flange is rusted.

 

how many miles on the car? i was kinda pissed that the stock muffler rotted away so quick, i guess the new job less than 2 miles from the house killed it..oh well. i did get the cattman on a g/d for $529 though

 

63,000
rust has been a problem on my car. had to replace my oil pan because it rusted through.

 

Seems like apples to oranges.

3.0L, y-pipe
3.5L Headers.

 

i also heard the frankencar on joels 3.5 (thats the one josh now has on his 3.0)

 

You've actually heard the Cattman w/o headers and the Frankencar w/ headers on my car now.

 

did you think the cattman w/o headers was loud? maybe its just me, but i could barely hear it, and i had a ypipe which added little HP

 

My set-up > *

 

I think cattman rear section alone with nothing else is perfect. I made Joel drool and wish he kept it.

 

Cattman headers, Test pipe, Frankencar catback > *

















soon to be cattman headers

 

I don't like test pipes... They make the exhaust "pop" way to much and seem to make the exhaust more raspy.

Highflow cats seem to smooth out the tone much better.

 

Unless you take proper counter strikes against the popping rasp accordingly, it will rasp/pop. I have a test pipe w/o any popping. Nice and smooth.

 

But it isn't worth the money IMO. Test pipe around $20-$30 while Highflow $100+.

Price wise: Test pipe > Highflow.

Plus it saves my cat so when I need to smog stock cat goes back on. Plus there isn't really much benifit to a highflow so paying that price isn't worth it.

 

No, IMO, Cattman rear with no headers is perfect. With headers, I thought it was more than 10x louder, so I dumped it for a Frankencar rear, which is still quieter, even with headers, than a Cattman rear alone.

Can't beat the tone of the Cattman though, with or without headers, it just the volume and drone that got to me.

 

I know where you live, I will just come over one night and steal it back. Or maybe just take that silver Pathfinder that no one drives.

 

It is worth the money to me since I like the exhaust tone better. Why stop at $100 price difference after spending over $1,200 on the rest of the exhaust...

 

I found that even with a stock rear it was popping...

 

I dunno man... Good sound is always worth the extra bones, IMO.

 

Well I don't see the point of spending money on a highflow when I can save some money and buy a test pipe that is still a good product. Plus that savings of $70-$80 can be put into buying other new parts.

 

Because... The exhaust tone is much smoother with much less exhaust popping...

Not really sure what is so hard to understand.

 

Then you didn't take the proper countermeasures.

 

Like...

 

What do you mean by this? Countermeasures as in don't change your headers? Nmex do you have a clip?
