My New Exhaust
 

Got my exhaust done at some shop by some guy. Cost $300, which is kind of expensive, but I'm sure it's cheaper than companies charge for a turbo back exhaust right? 2.5 inch straight pipe, no resonator, no cat, no nothing. And I don't have emissions so I guess i'll pass no problem 8) The car is so much quieter now, which is nice when I am going through neighborhoods but maybe I wish it opened up a little more when I get on it. Going to install my o2 sensor again if it stops raining. I don't think it effected spool too much, I haven't noticed anything, anyway, on with the pics.

now get up here and lemme rip on it

Re:My New Exhaust
 

Looks to me as if you're having a leak.
At the mani or at the downpipe.

Re:My New Exhaust
 

you should have him put in a flange for a cutout!

Re:My New Exhaust
 

Those carbon spots are old, leaks are all fixed now :)

Re:My New Exhaust
 

I was thinking of doing that, but i wanted to know if i kept a resonator on which would be a better setup? And no i'm not worried about emission testing i know how to slip by that 8).

Re:My New Exhaust
 

What material did they use? Doesn't look stainless. Did you at least get aluminized? Did they have the mandrels in stock or did they bend them?

Re:My New Exhaust
 

Those bends dont look like manderals.They look like they were made at the shop.

Re:My New Exhaust
 

Yeah, it's hard to tell. I just assumed they're mandrels because if not, he would (should) have gone with 2.75" to make up for it with crush bends.

Re:My New Exhaust
 

Yeah, bent at the shop, no places are really pinched though, even the downpipe pic has a nice sloping curve.

Re:My New Exhaust
 

$300. seems fair if they did it from the wastegate to the muffler. you don't realy notice it but i bet it spools up a lil quicker now.

Re:My New Exhaust
 

300$ is a lot of there is no muffler :-\. I paid 400$ for a wastegate dump tube, a flex pipe, a resonator, and a muffler...along with 2.5" pipe from the turbo back

Re:My New Exhaust
 

My cousin got an exhaust, bored out cat back to 2.5" midpipe to muffler for $175. The muffler was purchased beforehand, but the guy put everything on for ya and everything. He can't do straight pipes anymore (stupid emissions) but he used to do dual exhaust for $300, header back.

Re:My New Exhaust
 

my exhaust cost 250 from the turbo back when i had my small t3 when i was at school in INDIANA, my dp alone for the new t3/t4 cost 450

Re:My New Exhaust
 

my exhaust is pretty nice...the muffler was 110$ and the flex pipe was around 70$...so 220$ for a DP/WG Dump and all the piping/work...wasnt too bad

I dont have any really good pics of the DP/WG dump because my AC compressor is still installed...though its not being used :P

Re:My New Exhaust
 

i paid $190. for a premade mandrel 2.5"exhaust and o2 bung mounted that went from the stock location header/cat connection to the muffler which i already had. he got the downpipe made and his exhaust, mounted for $300. it aint crack head cheap but it's not a bad price.

Re:My New Exhaust
 

You know you can get OBX midpipes on ebay for like $100 shipped. It's 2.5" mandrel bent 304 ss with a resonator and all flanges. Then, you just need a custom downpipe and the pipe from the axle to the muffler, or do what I plan to do and just run a straight pipe back with no muffler ;) I was a bit skeptical at first but for $90, I was willing to try it. It turned out to be a pretty quality piece comparable to any of the other aftermarket exhaust midpipes out there, but for hella cheap. I've had it on my crx for a year now and it's working nicely.

Re:My New Exhaust
 

i guess I have a biased comparrison...my friend got turbo back(including DP) for 180$ with a flex pipe. Its not too bad...for 300$...if the workmanship is good. Mine is moderate(no leaks)but it could look a lot better.

Re:My New Exhaust
 

It's definitely quality work, I already had a muffler which he made a flange for so I can remove it separately. The guy did a good job.

Re:My New Exhaust
 

with that said...workmanship is worth more than some people charge...
