my custom single exhaust build

Well, i decided to go with the single look, i bought a CS rear from Peter who worked at M1 ( great guy ) the CS rear is being worked on at my fathers shop and the exhaust side is being patched up, lucky me.

I had stillen true dual before, loved it. once i got straight pipes on, port polish it would rasp a lil bit, but when i had intake spacer and the exhaust it was so deep so sexy, but im more for performance. anyway heres my build

custom y-pipe (2.5'') - 3'' all the way back with a resonator before the muffler

the muffler is a Apexi N1








will have videos tomorrow ( stillen true dual is for sale )

Mods, port polish, headers, unresonated test pipes, short ram, spacer some other mods i forgot.

Flex section is a section of your exhaust that will bend, so the exhaust will be less prone to cracking over time due to stress.

Actually felt a mid power and top end power gain, how does 2.25 stock y-pipe make more power then 2.5" especially if you have headers that are 2.5, to 2.5 test pipes to 2.5 y-pipe to 3" after the y-pipe to the muffler?

So check this out, stock y pipe sounds like shiet if u have test pipes and headers and port and polish.

2.5 headers ----> 2.5" test pipes ---> to 2.25" y pipe? No

also, even IF I did lose power, I'd trade a sick sounding exhaust for few hp anydaY

I'm not into performance as much as I use to be, trying to do exterior at the moment but yeah eventually I will. I just love the sound, it's really something else
