Ok here is a video clip I just made of my exhaust.

I have a y-pipe and just replaced the cat with a straight pipe. Love the sound...nice deep drone ..no weed eater sound

this is my first time with webspace and ftp servers...hopefully the link works.

enjoy

**UPDATE**
I just added a new video. It has action shots from inside and outside the car. For those that saw the first video, you can tell that the sound is louder and deeper under load and WOT.

ENJOY

It works... sounds good too... although I was kinda hoping for some "action shots" of ya speeding up and down past the speed traps on 50 or Fairfax County Parkway...

 

I like the sound. I'd like to hear it in a couple more situations. Maybe highway and some more reving. Notice any power dif?

 

i plan on doing some driving shots soon. it actually sounds nicer under load.
i will do inside and outside the car cruising and inside and outside the car WOT

 

yes i can
low end is ALOT better. before i had to be over 3K rpm to really pull. now it starts to pull and 2K. now even with half throttle it just takes off!!

 

that's with just a Y-Pipe and test pipe? Sounds more like an aftermarket cat-back.
Props

 

Aight Jason, you need to drive down to Norman and help me install that exact same setup.

 

yup..y-pipe, test pipe, stock muffler

 

im on my way

 

Sounds nice.

 

It does, indeed, sound nice. I was thinking of going aftermarket y-pipe to stock cat to custom cat back to stock muffler, basically eliminating the resonator but upping the stock tubing size. But after hearing that, I think I will have to order a resonator as well. Your's is about where I want my sound level to be.

 

Sounds real nice. Do you have a stock B-Pipe? Also, if not are you runnin a resonator on ? I've got a y-pipe, custom 2.5" into a stock can and am trying to decide if I want to remove the 18" Magnaflow Resonator I have on my B-Pipe...I want to hear you rev it.

 

yes i have the resonator....from the straight pipe back it is stock. resonator and muffler

 

pretty cool, gives it a g35/350z type sound, with the stock look

 

thats what i thought too. and people that have heard it in person said the same thing

 

Hey Jason, is your test pipe a certain brand or is it like those that are on ebay for 30 bucks? If so, is there a difference and where can I find a reputable one?

 

from ebay...got it from my roomate..was on his SE-R

 

Something like this?

mine isnt as fancy..looks like normal exhaust pipe with flanges

 

Hey, sounds good man

 

did u just jack up the car and unbolt it urself and put it back together was there anything special involved with the install???????????

 

did it myself.
jacked it up, removed the cat, and installed the pipe. i used two gaskets on each side to ensure i wouldnt have a leak

 

My thoughts exactly on the 3k...I think I'm going your route!

 

Real nice sound.

 

So uhh, how does it affect emissions since you replaced the Cat with a straight pipe?

 

sounds good almost like mine but yours is a bit louder. i also have the cattman y and muffler but i fabricated my own b-pipe out of 2.5" stainless steal the sound of our cars is real similar

 

In order to reduce emissions, modern car engines carefully control the amount of fuel they burn. They try to keep the air-to-fuel ratio very close to the stoichiometric point, which is the calculated ideal ratio of air to fuel. At this ratio, all of the fuel will be burned using all of the oxygen in the air. This significantly reduces carbon monoxide, VOCs and NOx molecules (the gases that a three-way catalytic converter is also designed to reduce.)

Bottom line...as long as your car is serviced, you take care of it, and use the proper fuel...the emissions are neglible. (a lot less then your city bus that is supposed to reduce pollution )

disclaimer - you will fail an emmisions test if your state or county require it. OK does not

 

You convinced me...ordered one today...I'm tagged in OK an had forgotten all about the "no inspection." Thanks for the insight bro.

anyone know if colorado checks for this?

 

Alright, another Oklahoma org member! Let us know how your setup sounds.

Yes, they do. I used to live in boulder and they are fairly strict on emissions.

 

Sounds good... how are you sneaking by on the emissions inspections with the straight pipe??? I lived in VA for many years and fell victim to the emissions test a few times.

 

Soonerfan's vehicle is tagged in Oklahoma. Oklahoma has no vehicle inspections. Therefore, Soonerfan can get by with having the straight pipe.

 

Sooner - after hearing that sound this (and the y-pipe) are going to be my next mods. Thanks for posting, exhaust note is sweet.

 

I heard that if you sub in a straight pipe for your cat, a foul odor emanates from the exhaust. Something that smells like rotten eggs. There are many posts that i have read that can attest to this at mx6.com.

Does this apply to our Max's?

have you ever gotten your car inspected? do you have an inspection sticker on your car?

 

plus no front tag and darker tint

 

that smell is from the cat itself when it goes bad. its the particles inside. the smell is not from the exhaust that isnt being cleaned by the cat. i have NO SMELL

 

hey that sounds good

 

Hey, sounds good! I like the sound!
