Custom exhaust?
 

The only thing I don't like about my 370 is that it's way quiet. I've been looking at a CBE system from Invidia. But I started thinking can we put a custom exhaust of our own on and be happy with the results?

Do you just want to make your car louder and don't mind performance? If so then I guess it'll be ok. If you do care about performance I think it would be better to get an exhaust system with proven gains, after all, these companies spend time and money on R&D and I guess most of us don't have the tools/time/knowledge to design an exhaust system.

edit: if its sound you're after then I guess you can try the washer mod lol

Sounds allright but did he loose any power through lose of back psi?

I tried it just for giggles and butt dyno says I lost torque at low rpms, went back to stock a couple of hours later. Other people claim they don't really feel a difference.

Thanks for the input. But I can't see myself doing that to my car.

Exactly why I undid it the same day. Waiting on my FI exhaust now.

F.I. ftw. So many different options and combinations gives you a myriad of options in terms of performance/sound :tup:

There's a good muffler place in the adjacent town that always have imports and high end cars in there. I'll probably swing by see what they can do for me. I'll keep y'all posted.

What is your desired budget, and what would be your breaking point for cost? Just to get an idea of what you're looking to spend...

At this current time no more then 200 bucks. I was actually just wanting to keep my tips and only replace the mufflers itself.

muffler delete or replace with different cans?

Not so much a delete as a more aggressive output I guess. Now that I think about it I would have to change out the tips due to the outlet diameter.

a muffler delete with custom tips sounds pretty aggressive in person...

I installed some CNT test pipes to the stock exhaust and am pretty pleased with the outcome nice sound at 3-4k Rpm. Saving up for my FI exhaust now unless I come across something cheaper.

i believe a new y-pipe will result in a more agressive sound? Correct me if im wrong, but there is thread titled "cheap Y-pipe" or something like that goes into further detail. I purchased one with some berk hfc's they just got installed but i havent heard them yet since the damn bodyshop still has my car.

if it does, its only $140 shipped and cant be too much to install.
