Warpspeed 3 inch catback/ test pipe installed

Overall opinion: Sounds great, its VERY deep at idle, and with the long resonator installed, it doesnt drone very much. The catback is paired up with a Magnaflow series 3 inch inlet muffler with a double walled tip.

Cons: The system hangs pretty low, and they send you clamps to use, so the bottem of the clamps could potentially catch
onto something while driving - this is definately a safety issue as far as i'm concerned, so I cut the ends of the clamps off.

another problem was the universal hanger that they sent me. There was no way that I could get there to be less than a 5 inch
gap between the top of the tip on the muffler and the bumper cutout. This resulted in the whole exhaust system hanging a few inches
too low and scraping. The hanger on the b pipe should have been used for more support.

I ended up going to a muffler shop and having them weld me 4 new hangers for these issues, and called Dallas to let him
know of the issues.

 

Nice. Any under the car pics?

 

not yet, as you can see, it's raining, i took those pics today, whenever it dries up a little i will

 

Very nice Joffe...It's coming along.

Wish it could be brought up another 2-3"s though.

 

Doesnt that test pipe kill your low end? I took my to a professional shop and they did a good job. My exhaust pan hangs low. That **** is oogleeeee. SOund is nice. Lets see what type of dyno numbers it puts down

 

Jay, or anyone else that knows does a test pipe really kill your lowend

 

Why the 3 inch exhuast? any type of forced induction?

i know u felt good saying that

so how much boost r u running?

Also my muffler was hanging low like that. What i and many other people did was tighten the rubber things that the muffler hangs from. use like a steel tightener (same sh*t u use to tighten couplers for intake setup) and tighten each side until its even in the middle and hugging just under the fender. Not sure if u knew about that but if u didnt, i'm glad to be of service

BTW, 3" test pipe kill low end? how bout 2.5"?

 

I drove his car on Monday night and it sounds DAMN nice.

Non-raspy and not 'droning' inside the car.

 

Man that is low. Try the clamp things to bring up the muffler.

 

anything for 3rd gens?? i need a 3'' catback ... get back to me

 

It's from warpspeed - call them.... www.warpspeedperformance.com

 

Yeah I had the same problem with that shady universal hangar....

I don't see why they can't just weld on two hangars on the muffler. In the end I had to bring it to a shop to get hangars welded on and some other parts of the system adjusted to not rub. The sound is amazing though I am sure ( I dont have th turbo though)

 

Turbos work differently... theoretically opening up the exhaust should help the turbo spool sooner and give him a stronger low end.

 

thats what i figured....whats why i wondered why someone said 3" test pipe would kill low end...

 

If you are not forced induction then you should not get a 3" exhaust b/c there will not be enough exhaust velocity at low rpms to maintain good torque. If you have a turbo or even a SC then you will need the added volume to let the added exhaust flow.

 

i agree, i'm currently running 2.5" with a S/C pushing about 9-11 psi. After changing my catback car seems to flow much better not to mention car feels much more responsive at high ends.

 

hangs a little low huh.
