Looks good. How loud is it with the cut out open?

I couldn't tell you really. I haven't had a chance to wire it up.

I will tell you that it's going to be very loud. It's probably about 2' away from the turbo.

Yeah, that cutout right there, pointing right at the ground. Its gonna be nauseating.

Well, I have the cutout wired up. I made sure that this is going to be a very safe wiring job, because the motor is only a few inches from the ground basically. I used a bosch 30amp relay and a fuse.

Anyways, with the cutout open, obviously its loud, but it isn't nearly as loud inside the car as you'd think. Obviously, it sounds like an angry John Deere, but the turbo spool is more than worth it.

In one of these cars, with all of the extra sound deadening they came with, it's very tolerable.

The only people who have those are the MVA. If I go to them, they'd give me a repair citation in a heartbeat.

I'm not too terribly surprised at your results...as you said the sound deadening. I guess these really DO have a lot. My mom yells at me CONSTANTLY, warning me that i'm drawing way too much attention to myself and that it's "terribly excessive" and if I'm just cruising along, no load, I actually don't hear anything above what I did stock up to about 35 maybe 40 mph. (its an O/R h pipe with flowmaster 40s).

Its great ya get to show off but not have your eardrums blown out while driving it :D

While the 40's and no cats is loud, with the cutout open, I have maybe 18" of exhaust with no ling. I think I'm a good bit louder

Oh I'm sure of THAT! Just talking re: the deadener. I STILL haven't gotten a friend to drive it so I can hear it take off from the outside. Being in the car it honestly doesn't sound like a huge ruckus. Im NOT unhappy but it hardly seems totally obscene, so I wanna see what all this fuss about it being so excessive is.

She even said last week "What did you do? That got louder I swear it got louder." Im like "I haven't touched the exhaust in over a year." :hick:

Are you going to be at Carlisle? If so, bring it along. I'll have the TC there.

Zonda: Just before I had the exhaust put on my car, I had my girlfriend drive it around the parking lot, and it really is amazing how different it sounds. I suggest finding someone just to run it around the parking lot. You look at your own car a bit differently.

My father is scared to drive my car now :hick:

nice setup. I use the exact same band clamps for my test tube and cat and never had a leak. They work great!!
