MY new pipes :)

[TBrack]

Sounds like sexual chocolate when I roll down the windows, yet a dull quite hum with them up

I like it, looks stock. What is the setup flows?

[DrewQ45]

Looks nice but I can't hear a damn thing!

huh?

you mean my vid was bad or there is no sound?

[silver2k2]

I meant that to a layman it looks like something that could be stock which I like.

Are those flowmaster mufflers?

[maxnix]

How about a cruising video? Doesn't seem to have the flapping sphincter of some others I have heard.

What is all that clicking whistling noise?

[DrewQ45]

My bad, I thought you didn't have a vid up and was trying to be funny. I went back and aw the link after your question. Man that thing sounds mean. I'm very tempted to try it but am scared that I'll grow tired of the noise.

nope, no aftermarket mufflers.

Cruising 2maro. Sounds very good I think. As far as the background I think that was my keys and the wind outside.

Now that the pipes are in the back there is 0 noise in the cabin (which I will show in a vid 2maro) with the windows up.

[Jesda]

NICE!!!!!

NEVAR.

Of all the things I like most about Robs Q, I'd have to say the rear gear and exhaust are my 2 favorites.

Brian - you're invited to enjoy a spirited drive in Da Beast, if you're ever in Cincy.

Come live in ATL for a min. We are talking LONG highway drives, plus I drive to Fla and NYC on the regular. If there is a constant drone at highway speed it may wear me down. Going around town is not a problem.

[Jesda]

Its actually a pleasant, very faint hum when you're turning a constant 2000+ rpm. You don't hear it until you mash the gas for passing.

I'm closer to 3k (speed + rear gear) and it's really not an issue. I'll most likely be in ATL some time this summer. If time allows, I'd be glad to let anyone "hear for themself".

[lino]

They look great. How thick are the pipes?

[Falkdesigns]

There's a bunch of us now with this "mod", I love mine, it sounds mean when you're on it, and otherwise it's just mellow. On the highway at 80-85 I barely can hear it, only if I'm thinking about it. And every time a red light turns green, ohh the glorious tune I hear.

[silver2k2]

Any problems with the smog guys or cops in cali

[Falkdesigns]

I don't think it's loud enough to really get cop's attention. As for smog, I haven't had to go yet, but it will still pass the sniffer (muffler is just for sound), and the place I go won't say anything about the missing muffler.

[92Q45guy]

looks nice! I'm going to do this now. But I really want to do a full system on it somehow.

[TBrack]

2'' with 2 1/4'' tips

[konatown]

There really haven't been too many positive results with changing the full system.

Search the boards for exhaust threads and you'll have to decide if the money is worth the minimal gain (or loss) to be had.

My '94t is getting this same mod with 2.25" pipes with 2 3" Chrome tips for a whopping total of $150+ tax. I'll post some video and pictures in a couple of weeks when I get a new camera.

just noticed I was only charged $10.90 instead of $109.00 good ole credit card machines. too bad the place I went to is 200 miles away...

[konatown]

200 miles north?

If so thats getting close to where I am (Very southern tip of Indiana). That's a great price on that.

Honestly from the soundbytes posted by you, ozzie, falk and others, I don't know of a better value modification to the Q45 sans chainguide backings.

[konatown]

Hah, I can imagine.

I also see them catching their mistake and fixing the price =(

QFT.

I actually just got back from a 1300km round trip, and cruising at 110 km/h I actually had to turn off the stereo and concentrate to hear if the engine was still running.

Of course, the best way to truly find out, is to "mash the gas for passing" (Not that I did that very often )

[Q_SHIP]

My Y33 with the stillen can sounds just like one of those FX45's. Very throaty.

I love that sound!

[Q_SHIP]

I love that sound!

I know, everytime I hear one, my head pops up. They have such a modern yet healthy sound.
