Well, with Turkey day winding to a close, and exactly three beers left in the fridge (and the kids out early because they were running around all day @ Grandma's), I decided to pick a mod and go to work. First up is the exhaust mod. Have been really anxious to get more life out of the rear pipes. Took a look at Rizbel's DIY and set out. I've attached a couple of .AVI files with the results - before and after. I apologize for the large files in advance.
Let me know what you think...I believe it is a little deeper. i don't want to cross the line into Nascar and have to go with the Dale E. #3 license plate frame or anything...just a little more "authority" as some have said. Check it out.... Closed: http://home.comcast.net/~grobertson22/Stoc...Flap_Closed.AVI Open: http://home.comcast.net/~grobertson22/Stoc...t_Flap_open.AVI BTW, props to Rizbel on the suggested parts list. Safety-wiring the turnbuckle brought back memories of my AD days in the Navy, doing bench work (AIMD) on GE-T700's (SH-60). Not sure if you're AF, or Navy/MC? With the mod safety-wired I want be causing any FOD... :thumbsup: |
Not bad.. its a little deeper... but not enough difference to me. Even a little louder wont make it sound like Nascar so it should be good... Make it sound as deep and loud as the E39 M5 and it will be good. :lol:

Does sound better with it open. I have a 4 speaker PC setup with subwoofer. Might want to open the garage door, however. Don't ever want to mess with carbon monoxide.

[snapback]60960[/snapback] Good point re: CO . I had a walk-through door open and my garage is vented ok, car just ran for a second, but better safe as they say ;) . Thanks for the feedback. |
Where's Rizbel's DIY--it's not under DIY section, is it? I did a search and found his posts but didn't see the parts list you mentioned in your first post.

[snapback]60963[/snapback] Read down the page a little, to the post with parts used (pretty simple, just a 2 1/4" turnbuckle and a " 1 1/2" S" hook) Others have alaso removed their resonator(s), JDN posted a soundclip of one without the larger resonator. I was really hoping to hear a clip of CH7576's car, since he had the smaller ones removed and was raving about the results...he aslo had the valve actuator welded instead of wired back. |

[snapback]60965[/snapback] [/quote]I haven?t forgotten I need to get some sound clips posted for you guys?give me a couple more days. Photos are easy for me, sound clips are not?but I think I?ve found a friend that can host them for me. FYI?all my resonators are now gone?and flap is open...it sounds nice?much quieter than you would think |
My local dealer is a Dinan dealer as well. I just emailed him for an update on exhaust and perfromance software. I will keep you posted.
