Exhaust recommendation for track

SG4247 · 10-23-2018, 01:16 PM

I tried some CC inserts with poor results. While quieter, the exhaust temp went way up, coolant temp went up, and power went way down.

Finally, one fell out due to high vibration and was nearly run over by another car.

Be advised..

Wow, that's a little scary. I would not want to be following someone's line and plow over an exhaust component. Was it just the insert or one of the full pieces like the flanged turndowns?

It was an insert that I literally had to hammer into place, and then riveted!

I was shocked it came out. The vibration forced the rivets to fail, then the insert shook out. I used 4 alum rivets, steel rivets would have been much better.

True! Don't use tomei silencer when you are going above 4000 rpm

I got the full FI exhaust. LTH's, 12" resonators, and cbe.

Thanks for sharing! Looks like most folks chose with resonator, bet non-red is too much also?
