The Custom Exhaust Thread - Club4G Forum : Mitsubishi Eclipse 4G Forums - 2006-2012 Eclipse Authority

phenom · October 23rd, 2011, 01:11 PM

I'm not sure if something like this has been done before, so it if has, then I will promptly delete the thread. But I have done a lot of searching, and I haven't been able to find anything exactly like it.

The idea of this is to stockpile videos/pictures/details/opinions on CUSTOM exhaust systems. I have read through Vader6's sticky, and it shows a few videos of custom exhausts, but I'm looking for something more in-depth with this. I feel like this thread could be extremely helpful to users who are contemplating going custom because if you do go that route, then there is no way to know how the car is going to sound until it is actually finished. That is, until they see all of their helpful members' replies to this post

.

When posting your exhaust, list as many of the following things as possible:
*The components of the system
*How much it cost you (installed)
*Video/Pictures
*Opinion (Do you like it? Is it too quiet? Too loud?)

Thanks in advance to anyone who contributes

Obx headers, deleted cats...all 3, straight pipe to an HKS muffler.
Cost me $400 for the headers and a shit ton in labor. $200 to do the pipes and flow master muffler before I changed it to the hks which was around $200 thanx to randman. Then it was only $20 to weld on.
There's some videos floating around here.
I love it

RICHIEM22 · October 23rd, 2011, 01:32 PM

Here's Steve's exhaust:

gspower · October 23rd, 2011, 01:38 PM

stock manifold and stock 3rd cat and resonator delete with straight pipe from 3rd cat to a Apexi N1 muffler

all together a little over $200. i fuckin love it. No rasp in no RPM range, loud as shit at WOT, and very throaty.
a vid on the dyno

RICHIEM22 · October 23rd, 2011, 01:45 PM

Man, whoever took those videos is one badass G!

akley88 · October 23rd, 2011, 01:52 PM

rre header, 2.5" from header back with no 3rd cat magnaflow resonator and magnaflow muffler.
header was a little under 400 the rest was 175.
im not sure if i have a video of the current setup but hackerd told me that it is very annoying to be behind, i might go with dual axle back setup to see if that helps with the sound.

eclipse_6g75 · October 23rd, 2011, 02:31 PM

My car is a GT my currently setup is
Stock Manifolds
Magnaflow HIGHflow catalityc converter $75
2.5 piping - $120
maganflow muffler Part# 14834 - $160
fujita CAI
and no resonator

MFTK · October 23rd, 2011, 02:39 PM

2 dc sport mufflers - $179
Welded on for $50
plus a injen sri $325

ensiferum0 · October 23rd, 2011, 03:37 PM

Right now I have just a GReddy axle back. I love the sound but I plan to get headers and when I do get a full exhaust. I'm pretty newb. What's the differences in a cat back and a header back in terms of sound and airflow? And what's a cat delete do? I have no clue to whom I should go for an exhaust but I'm gonna ask around cinci and get some quotes.

cat back is what it sounds like it replaces the piping from the catalytic converter back. header back replaces the piping from the header back. sound will be determined is you have a resonator or not, if you keep the cat when replacing the exhaust pipe, by the size of the pipe choosen and what muffler(s) you go with. the cat delete removes the catalytic converter from the exhaust. if you live in an area that does a sniffer test or tailpipe test you might not pass without that cat. people do it to gain some power and sound. best bet is to listen to some of the videos on the site to see which ones sound good and copy those, video will give you a rough idea of the sound but its hard to get the exact sound over video.

Thanks! I know what cat back and header back is. I just didn't know the functional differences. I live in cincinnati and I've never had any of my fours cars sniffed. I'll check out vids and stuff before I make my decision for sure.

phenom · October 25th, 2011, 06:58 PM

Nice vids guys

. Hopefully they help someone make a decision. More videos and such would be awesome too!

pat_08GT_Spyder · October 25th, 2011, 07:43 PM

99% sure there is a similar thread already...
having said that, i will upload my video of my dyno run in a closed building with open headers tonight, you know, just because

If there is, link it to me and I will ask for this one to be deleted immediately, I don't want to spam the boards. Still looking forward to your vid though!

I referenced that thread in my OP, but I'm looking for all of the custom oriented exhausts of the club, not just a list of all the different brands of exhausts, sorry if there was any confusion.

pat_08GT_Spyder · October 25th, 2011, 10:25 PM

no worries man !
well, my setup right now:
RRE headers
3rd cat removed
stock resonator + 22" Magnaflow resonator
Magnaflow muffler
and stock piping in between all that ! sounds really sexy, really quiet at low rpms and screaming up top... "synthetic" (Brandon) can vouch for it

every time i step on it and take it to redline, i wish i had another 3k rpms to go

phenom · October 26th, 2011, 01:26 PM

NitroGlisson · October 26th, 2011, 04:08 PM

I have a GT
OBX long tubes (399)
Aeon imports 3" headerback chopped up keeping the resonator (175)
Switchable rear cat (between stock cat and racing cat) (200)
Custom y-pipe before rear axle with dual Magnaflow knock-off mufflers (700)

About as loud as I can stand it.

MFTK · October 26th, 2011, 04:40 PM

we have same ass

FeaRlezZ · October 26th, 2011, 04:47 PM

is it possible to remove the front pipe that bends over the axle and replace it with a straight pipe that goes under it or something ??

That would surely cause me clearance issues. If you look at the y-pipe picture I posted you can see that is already the lowest point under the car......extending the pipes behind that to go under the axle just wouldn't work with my drop.

BPHILLY22 · October 27th, 2011, 08:29 PM

Gt
Injen CAI 200 something
3in catback 200ish

Moyer627 · November 13th, 2011, 11:23 PM

Can anybody tell me the diameter of the magnaflow cat back pipe. I wanna see if it's worth it to get the cat back or just the muffler.

akley88 · November 14th, 2011, 05:59 AM

Tubing O.D. Size: 2.5in.

mivecpower · November 29th, 2011, 01:07 PM
