Thinking about changing exhaust, thoughts?
Hey guys. I'm thinking about changing my exhaust setup next season. I want to go to the opposite end of the spectrum from what I have now.
Right now I have a custom 3inch straight pipe exhaust with a single vibrant resonator (not the ultra quiet type). The resonator is in the center section and the 3 inch pipe exits with a slight turn down out the bumper. The exhaust was built by Charm City tuning and is absolutely beautifully built. Full tig welded and all v band connections. Obviously this thing is loud as balls, but sounds mean as hell. No rasp at all. I love the sound, but bottom line is I'm getting older and I live in a densely populated area. Few years ago I wouldn't have cared, but now I can't help but feel bad after doing a pull at night. I made 502whp 320 tq at 13psi on a track forged kit with a 6262 turbo. I tuned it down to 11 psi and 470 whp for piece of mind on pump gas.
I've always loved the greddy se dual exhaust. It looks good and is pretty quiet. It's 70 mm to dual 60 mm. I would run a 70 mm test pipe and weld a vband on that to mate to my downpipe which sits at the factory header location. I would get retuned in the spring after the exhaust install and I want to make the same power I have now. Thoughts?
Btw I will probably have my custom 3 inch for sale if anyone is interested. It's very similar in looks to the challenge 76rtm. Here is a pic.

I had a stock exhaust with the v-band flange welded in after the resonator. I would roll stock exhaust around town and then remove the mufflers for autox. Worked out fine, because I hate a loud exhaust. However, eventually I just started leaving the mufflers on all the time, and now I am just putting my original stock exhaust on and getting rid of the modified one.
