Whats the rest of the exhaust size? Probably not worth the extra noise, but worth teh extra power. ;)

Thats a nice setup! Glad to see everything worked out well for ya.

2.5" downpipe, 2.5"Flex and 2.25 catback. if its not worth the extra noise i aint gonna do it then. as for the extra power im coming from a NA focus to boosted focus. i dont think im going to notice 20HP.

ah, i thought you were 2.25 straight through...

Shouldnt be that much extra noise, turbo muffles it pretty good. I'd spend the money on tuning though. :D

[bigman]

its nice and quiet right now till the gate open. open gate is LOUD and sounds liek s***. good thing it stays shut most of the time. im going to hold off on building the 3" until i get it up and running.

[kamilk69]

i love my open wastegate, sounds mean as hell. and its more hp :D

[bigman]

when i first had it running i didnt have the spring in the gate and at idle it was disgusting. hopefully it doesnt sound that bad when im hammering on it spooling. hha

[kamilk69]

it sounds like a damn jet when in full boost. i know a few hondas that have it and it doesnt sound as nice, and in tunnels it hurts your ears :P

[bigman]

[bigman]
