Running with no exhuast is all fine and dandy but when your at a stop light or in stop and go traffic.... your going to get affixiated (spelling) Well it seems like you would anyways

Re:Lets hear it for open DP's
 
The car has no AC or heat anyway, so no big deal. I did make two DP's... the shorty one pictured and one that hooks up to the exhaust system (if it was there) so I can go to that if need be. I welded EGT and o2 bungs on both... I'll use the open DP long as I can stand it because all the heatshields and exhaust weighed like 62 lbs or someshit.

hey shouldnt you put the egt closer to the exhaust outlet near the head to read the best exhaust temp? looks good man youre gonna love the way it sounds you hear the spool up of the turbine more very cool

Re:Lets hear it for open DP's
 
egts are just inaccurate no matter where you put them really, and on the HF manifold im using the o2 hole.. for .. well an o2. so whatever.. no bigge.

hehehe, looks good gimpy. Where the hell do you live that you can get away with driving with an open downpipe? I'd last about 15 minutes here before I get pulled over :-\ Also, what did you use to make the downpipe? just a Mandrel bend? I'll be making one soon and want to know what to pick up for supplies.

I live in iowa, and if we had emissions 70% of the cars would be off the road here.. no bullshit.

thats just a 90 degree i clocked back a bit to keep away from the clutch slave cyl, a 4bolt garrett flange and i used my little miller welder.

i ran like that for a week...drove to work every day, only like 5 miles but damn everett cops are bitches (3 cops needed for every speeder pulled over?)...but i didnt have any problem. turbo sounded soo much better spooled so loud, deep....damn it was bad ass ;D

Keep it like that. 8)

I love open down pipes. Let that baby breathe. I can get away with ---- like that here too. No emissions and every ricer homosexual 17 second shitbox has a 14" exhaust tip which is louder than an open down pipe so cops don't ---- with it. :-\

You should extend it to dump out the side of the car in front of your front passenger side wheel...

Ya I was thinking of doing that this weekend..... I need to get some header wrap tho before I do it because I'm worried about the heat against my shitty stock radiator and other such pieces...

at least have your muffler hanging on the back so you don't look like one of those ricers that just ripped his muffler off for that 'performance' sound ;)

yeah, i know huh ::) i was thinking about putting just the muffler on but i think it would be funny to see a cute stock exhaust and hear ------- loud ass exhaust and spooooooling coming out from the car ;D ---- it...it may look the same but any POS ricer steps up is gonna get his ass handed to him!
