someone on here just took off the resinator and it sounds sweet.

I would do new cats, custom pipes, and nice borla muffs.

^^ that was me, Trust me its cheep, and you will not gain any more power from a $1000 exhaust systems ( well maby 1 or 2) but not worth the $$$$. for that amount of money get a custum Suspension...

heres the links to my car with the stock dualies, but the resonator( the big back peice ) removed. I had to torch the nuts because they were heat locked.

ill take some pics iff needed, but i also have a custum CIA so the sound in higher RPMs comes alot from that too.

if you wanted you could extend the remaining exhaust pipes out the back of the j, but i found that to be to tiedious.

[DominickJ30]

The exhaust should not cost anywhere close to 1000 dollars. And neither will a custom suspension. I think diamond said that custom spring for the front ran him about 1400, JUST FOR THE FRONT SPRINGS.

There are quite noticeable gains from a PROPERLY tuned exhayst system.

Hey skapunk how bout some pictures of this custom cold air intake??

FYI the J already has a nice cold air intake with a low pressure area to suck air from. I wonder how you made it "better" ?

[diamond]

springs were 110.00 apiece.its the rear struts that cost bucks.loli run borlas with 15 inch glass packs.sounds sweet.not drowny at all.going out both side.it was actually louder at cruise with the cat up front.but the cat traps all the tinny vibrations.without it and sends them out the pipe.big drag.first exhaust i ever had that sounded that like that.buzzy.best to get a new downpipe too.with cats its really tame too.sounds great when you open her up.sounds dont bounce back off brigdes either.i can here my car autostart from inside the house but not loud.have to listen for it.cars about 50 foot away and single pain glass,lol.would not here it with double pane.on the freeway i dont really here it spinning 3 grand,very tame.without glasspacks its drowny loud.bigtime.i cant drive like that.took 2 secound to figure that out,lol.i can feel the difference too.

Hi!

Do you or anyone have an idea about the loudness of this setup? Will it intrude into the passenger compartment? Interfere with the stereo?

[NismoChi]

Of course, that is the whole point.

[DominickJ30]

Depends on how many mufflers you put on, and what kind.

When I do my exhaust I will go with some super high flow cats, and two magnaflow mufflers in the back. If you want it real quiet go with 4 mufflers.

[elwesso]

What i would like to do when building an exhaust is put flanges eveywhere so you can basically piece things together...

Make the pipe from the header to the H/X pipe removeable so you can run sans cats except for emissions/inspections... Then put a flange back where the resonators are so you can remove those if you want, and then make some straight pipes from there with flanges to put a rear muffler in or out.

tell ya what,today when i pick up my dad from airport i will rta the car inside.those radio shack db meters are wrong.got one anyway tho.lol.hope its charged.oh wait,i cant carry it sorry.with glasspacks its tame.what more can i say.mine is super tame and i dont run cats.2 borlas and 2 glasspacks,thats it.on the freeway she really quite almost silent.pretty danm tame.what more can i say.i have to do emmisions for tags this years and im doing it without cats.wonder what will happen,lol.check engine light on too.shoefly dont bother me,shoefly dont bother me.lol.

my car spins faster cause of gears to which helps the sound.doesnt bog around.i was able to keep my tow hooks on and still go out both side awsomely.with glass packs on it raps nice in the upper register when getting on it.hehe.it will not intefer with the radio.im an iasca dude.compete in s.q.at least i used too.tell ya what,its so loud i forget to shift out of 3rd gear going home a couple times without stereo on..drove 65 for 35 miles and couldnt tell it was in 3rd cause cruise control.and i spin at 3 grand in drive.almost 5k all the way home,lol.you can hear yourself breath.hows that.going 20 down a street you can be heard.not at all uncomfortable though.not like fart can ta all.Modified by diamond at 1:54 PM 6/14/2006

so sporty at low rpms,quiter the faster you go.

[a100pureplayaz]

diamond i think i am going to use the same setup you use two borla mufflers with a glass pack but what kind of glass pack are you using and were can you get one also do you have pics and a EST. of how much everything cost thanks

[diamond]

my glass packs are 15 inch blue streaks.borlas are nice cause they flow but not loud like some other mufflers.i think you should run cats though.i dont cause i burned them up fast.one year.its cause of gearing tho and lots of freeway travel.lol.i will be putting them back on.although i like without.best to be legal if you can.hehe.made my engine light come on to i think from the o2 sensors.woops,ill be back,no time.got to get ready for mri.i be back later.d

[diamond]

k,im back.missed the mri,lol.got home and they called back, i went mid post,lol.you will need 2 glass packs.one for each side.you sound like your going to still go out the one side?the glasspacks will fit before the rear end so your good that way.just double pipe it out the one side.if you call borla they can tell you were to buy cheaper.they told me.was awhile back,think i remember 120.00 ,i got the tips too.i just cant seem to remember whta things cost.been awhile since i did stuff.need new pricing anyway,lol.boy,im some help now days,jeeze.normally little crap like that i used to remember.lol.k,i need to review you question again,lol.hard time keeping it together now.the glasspacks are cheap,i remember that.be best to get new prices.any exhaust place or shucks places like that should have them.cost can vary.stainless pipe or not.bunch of pics at cardomain.com.just look under j30's.ive seen exhaust pics posted there that are really nice.touch up paint and a razor blade is how i cut the relief for the other side to match.ive had it repainted since tho.looks oem,lol.does without repainting too.just touch -up.sorry i cant remember the prices for you.my bad. i pieced mine together as i could afford it.l&i built my car,lol.so you need 2 muffs and 2 glasspacks.tips?

I have a few n00b questions:

1) "Borla" - is this a particular brand of muffler?

2) cat = catalytic converter?

3) glass pack - what is this?

1. Yes.

2. Yes.

3. Fiberglass style muffler, best flow, least restriction.

[diamond]

thank you dom.glasspacks make a rap like old hitrods or lowriders too at higher rpms when wot .sounds badass comming out of a v-6.

[a100pureplayaz]
