Scotty Dont Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 What are you going to do with the exhaust. I always wondered what an ls1 would sound like coming out of one 3" apexi muffler...lol. I think it would add to the "sleeper"..ness...? Most 240s run their exhaust that way and it sounds great. You are plugging right along Jason keep up the good work don't let this turn into Vise quality lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convette Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I ran it through the A/C ports hole like serpent did. At this point I don't even have the blower motor in the dash...Something I need to do soon. I also need to do my gauges. What are you going to do with the exhaust.

Blue Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 OPEN HEADERS! w00t! All it needs is an x-pipe to balance out pressure, and then some turndowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOSTED88tsi Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 this build is coming along quickly man.. where you doing all the work at?My work, we're hella slow so when theres nothing to do i work on the car.OPEN HEADERS! w00t! All it needs is an x-pipe to balance out pressure, and then some turndowns. It'll be open header for initial start up but thats about it. Im in cali and am not trying to get my freshly rebuilt car taken so its going two into one and then probably into a magnaflow. Once it gets started, im pulling the headers and having them ceramic coated down the street and pulling my tranny and building my tunnel and driveshaft. Then its all done!

I've been searching and there freaking expensive.Pm me and ill tell you haha. umm lets just say i doubt many people have got as deals as me though.Let me know when your gunna fire it, ill be there.My fuel lines are done thursday, so head over after work..Well in that case you should continue using the can muffler to confruze peepz. I think that'll be too loud as its a straight through. Im going to a throw a resonator on it after they go into one, and ill see how loud it is with the resonator/greedy. But ill probably go with something with chambers as i have no cats haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
