Header + Exhaust Question - Chromey - 01-09-2006

This Set-up is amazing, Fits 100%... Takes time for the Install But fits Great.

OBX Makes a Great product.

Now I have a SCT Chip, and Paul at Steeda.ca Deleted my Rear O2 for me.
No Cel :)

I will tell you this, This set up plus a MBRP Exhaust is Freaking loud, Not Honda fart can loud, But Ford Probe V6 with a Header Loud.

I would still buy this set up, now that ive felt the increase in HP.

Just for the record what dosent makes sence here is caused by Gibsons finest.

If roger is bringing his girlfriend du jour, it better be Gibson's finest

remember more noise equals more POWAH!

but yeah with a wide open exhaust it doesnt sound honda ricey, the focus definately has a tone of its own...

But seriously that is crazy loud man that surrounding houses makes it louder but still.

No, not ricey at all. Right.

Glad I am not your neighbour.

Yup, that's definitely a long tube header sound. My car does the same thing. At idle and with an easy launch the sound is acceptable, but at wide open throttle it screams like a son'o'bitch!! :o

Sometimes I surprise myself when I have the window down and going through an underpass or downtown highrises, I turn around expecting to see some other loud car and it turns out to be my exhaust echo.


Header + Exhaust Question - Flofocus - 01-11-2006

Wow....that kind of driving in neibourhoods is screaming for hand full of rocks thrown at your car.

At least, thats what my neighboors would do. :rolleyes:


Header + Exhaust Question - NOS2Go4Me - 01-12-2006

No offense, but why does that sound like the Zetec was stripped of all refinement?

It sounds like the open-exhaust Escorts they used to run at the oval here in North Bay.

If that's the combo of a long-tube race header and a cat-back exhaust, I'll pass.

I got a obx shorty, 2,5" trubendz flex-pipe and I'm getting a random tech cat-pipe. I wander how it will sound with my trubendz 2.5" borla :P Hey, the focus sport race header is only realllly loud when your wot :P It's all good! At what time of day was this vid taken? 6am? :lol:
