Customized Exhaust
Hey everybody, I'm sorta new here, not really "new" i'm just a creeper.
I put an exhaust on the car, to be honest, I just welded it on there because i wasn't sure i was going to like it. However, for those of you who don't want to go the muffler delete option or the super expensive full exhaust replacement, I thought i'd upload a sound byte for you to see if maybe this might be something you're interested in getting too! Right now the muffler has a stock resonator on the car still, i just took my car in for warranty repair at 52k for a seized turbo, luckily it was still covered by my CPO plan. Now that it's not spitting plumes of smoke out the exhaust heres what it sounds like with a little juice. Tell me your thoughts. I'm happy with the sound, therefore i'm going to finish it with the correct piping and relocate it to a better spot instead of at the back half. It's been a super long time since i've posted on a forum to share anything, so if i'm in the wrong area, let me know! Really good interior sound, no drone, whats your thoughts for the sound? I almost wanted to go a little louder, but i figure once i go catless downpipe, i figure it'll open up and be even louder for those who may be interested, I ordered the part on amazon for approx 90$ USD and had the exhaust installed towards the rear section maintaining factory exhaust flap functionality for 120$ USD, so this exhaust cost me 215$ with tax. |

What muffler is this? And your location description is a bit confusing.

Right now it's right under neath the trunk and split into a Y. The problem with it is that from the back, it looks like it's out of place because it has to hang lower. So i'm going to be moving it closer to the middle of the vehicle and then running the y piping from the diff area. |

Mann, i live in Tulsa, ever since street outlaws, everybody here thinks they're a "drag shop" thus the pricing being so much higher than i would of liked, I didn't feel like arguing, so i just paid it to see if i even liked the way it sounded..and since i do, i'm going to have another shop readjust it, and cut the resonator to see what difference it makes.

I have two n1 style mufflers hanging around from an old project (Audi) but I believe it may be difficult go fit them in under the trunk becuase of their length. I believe it would be difficult to route to the inlets since the mufflers would have to be perpendicular to the bumper cut out They are sort of the same as this vibrant unit other than the tips being already a part of the unit. I've seen them on e90s before and they look nice. Do you think you would have been able to fit two of the vibrants with tips under there?

Edit: looking again and comparing just the body lengths the vibrant is longer by 2"!! 14" v the n1 style's 12".

Currently waiting on their arrival and then I've gotta order the TPMS and tires. If i can wing it. But i would agree that if anybody else has this same setup, please share! I bought this and couldn't find any sound profiling, just ended up going for it because I've had good luck with their resonators. |

With that being said, I am completely happy with my purchase and for a muffler at less than 100$ with exceptional quality, plus labor, this is by far a VERY clean sound, increased volume just slightly, exterior wise, it's much more pronounced, but interior remains stock like if you ask me. I'm intending to try and get major setups that people might have, so i'm going cut resonator, then downpipe. Hoping to do that all next friday and order it in. So i'll try and get a NON potato cam video lol. |
