Maxzillian Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 As you can tell from one of the videos linked in the first post, I installed one of Jolyrgr's 2.5" kits on my car last weekend. I was extremely pleased to find that this was a first time fit system. I didn't have to bend any tubes, make any cuts, etc. Just to install the straight exhaust takes about 1.5-2 hours, and that's at a very leisurely pace and included welding the slip joints rather than clamping them. I installed a 2.5" magnaflow on my exhaust and I have to say that this system sounds loads better than my old. I used to run crimp bent 2.5" exhaust with a flowmaster. Outside the car was fairly quiet, but inside it badly droned and was very noisy. Now I've managed to gain a very noticeable increase in power and turbo response, and my car is quiet while cruising, yet throaty when accelerating. Couldn't ask for more.

Maxzillian Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Finally uploaded the photos I took. This is essentially what you get out of the box. From the turbo to behind the bumper. Straight exhaust in a box! http://maxzillian.com/starion/exhaust4.jpg Slipped my muffler onto the end for a comparison. NOTE: I used an 18" muffler. Jolyrgr warned me the system was for a 14", but I had already purchased the muffler by then. An 18" will fit, but you'll be in for some custom hanger work!http://maxzillian.com/starion/exhaust1.jpg Why waste money? I spent $400 to have a local muffler shop do my exhaust and they half --------------- it. For $400, I got a full STAINLESS system. With muffler I was at about $480. Had I gone with the mild steel exhaust, it would have been much cheaper.http://maxzillian.com/starion/exhaust2.jpg Like I said, half ---------------. Why deal with this sort of BS? Go buy a kit MADE for the car.http://maxzillian.com/starion/exhaust3.jpg Once installed, it has ample clearance. I wouldn't be worried about running over most parking blocks with this thing.http://maxzillian.com/starion/exhaust5.jpg http://maxzillian.com/starion/exhaust6.jpg The fit and finish is spectacular. http://maxzillian.com/starion/exhaust7.jpg http://maxzillian.com/starion/exhaust8.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolyrgr Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Thanks for the pics Max. All orders have shipped. I will try to get a sound clip and pics of the 3" system tomorrow. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiGuy17 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 i have my crystal ball and it says that I'll be getting one of these 3" systems in the near future =] Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAW Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Wow! I received my 2.5" straight-through exhaust system and I'm still smiling about this one! Nicely done.Thanks,DAW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc85 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Best system I've seen, very tight, straight and MAX clearance! Will you modify the down pipe flange for specific turbo designs? 5 bolt T3/T4s? As soon I know what kind of turbo I'm going to install will you work with me on that? I'll be in touch.

I will do what I can, and I am willing to sell the system in sections. When the time comes, PM me and we can see what details can be worked out.

88FIJIQUEST Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Are these still available for purchase? Also how easy would it be to change my mind at a later point in time and install a muffler onto the 2.5 pipe? (I'm kinda of a newbie still). Thanks in advance.

pc85 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Still haven't decided on the turbo: Garrett T3/T4 or Borg/Warner 256 for the down pipe flange. As soon as I do I'll order a 3" ss complete system c/o cataylitic converter and Magna flow exhaust if they're still available. Keep up the good work and thanks for helping to keep these cars on the road. Later, Doc Edited January 10, 2010 by pc85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the late reply...holidays get busy at work. Both the 2.5 and 3" systems are designed for a 14" muffler, and the tailpipe section is slip-fit at the installation point. This makes swapping the tailpipe/muffler out quick and easy. Extra flanges can be ordered if you would like to further simplify the process. Feel free to PM for a (hopfully) faster response time.

DryBear Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 For the muffler, would I need to get an offset, or centered inlet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxzillian Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 The system is made for a center in/center out muffler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolyrgr Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Sale is over, but the exhausts are not. I have a couple in stock, and can get more as needed with about a weeks notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DryBear Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) Finished installing the 3" turbo back yesterday. Hardest part was getting the old OEM crap off - I gave up trying to get the rusted bolts on the old cat off so I just dropped the whole exhaust. The Star-Orion setup fit in quite nicely, only thing I ran into was the bolts for the test pipe/cat section were a bit short in my opinion, so I just used some longer ones I had on hand. Here is a sound clip, with the system test fitted:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXe0QBM5Cdg Took it to a muffler shop this morning to get the slip fittings welded up and my MagnaFlow 14419 muffler (its more like a resonator) and Monza Resonated tips fitted. Up on the lift - the middle hanger fell off as I didn't tighten the bolt holding it on enough so the middle is sagging a bit:http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a268/DryBear/Starion/CIMG0060e.jpg Finished:http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a268/DryBear/Starion/CIMG0061e.jpg Its still a bit loud for my taste, but the sound is a lot smoother. Will get a sound clip when I get home. Edited March 17, 2010 by DryBear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polarisman14 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Any updates on this? Looks like an awesome fitting system. What's your opinion on what power level requires the upgrade to 3" system? I'm looking at a SQ with a full 2.5" system on it and am wondering if I'll need 3" to get to the 350-400hp mark without choking the system. Not too familiar with power levels on them just yet. Also will this work with the 19C race turbo as that's what I'm looking at using when I build it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
