IVIYTH0S Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Blah to Mythos I won't argue on the exhaust with you anymore -- I like it so that's really all that matters. On another note... Just finished routing the wiring for these!! IMG_20130711_182326_706.jpg Awesome components for the doors. Need to get some MDF to build a box for my subs still -- the tiger ran them with infinite baffle, so with no "trunk" something has to change. lol The wires all routed for the whole deal and I'm so excited to almost have some muzak in the car again! Car doesn't even have a clock atm. Also, unrelated, got this piece of paper in the mail yesterday IMG_20130711_181743_809.jpg You're right, I mean you do what makes you happy. just sharin' my opinions. Congratulations on that acceptance letter!! Once I get my BS, no more school for me!! More air in and more air out always equate to an increase in power regardless of any power adders. A cold air intake and free flowing exhaust are some of the cheapest ways to increase power and torque to start and work as a baseline for all other additions. Oh yeah of course, just saying, I only want people to KNOW about me when I have something to SHOW them. Kinda glad I didn't get an exhaust with how everything's ended up with my car. Though i've done more indepth mods. Congrats on the master's program acceptance! Btw, don't listen to IVI. Dude is crazy. PSSH, methodical madness is what I'm about.

ccokeman Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Adding the intake and exhaust enhancements are the methodical ways to start any performance additions to any engine since they are needed as you replace that intake and or cam(s) or add or upgrade a turbo since the same general principles apply. If you add items that boost power by moving more air (the engine is essentially an air pump) yet you use the stock intake and exhaust pieces you end up with less power than you were expecting. Back when I had my 66 mustang the best add on's for power started with a free flowing dual exhaust from the headers back, followed up with the intake, carb and cam. Essentially that same formula holds true today minus the carb if you are working on a late model then look at injectors and a reflash of the ECU. Cant wait to see how this one turns out!

BluePanda Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 4-5 hours today spent pulling out the stock exhaust. whew Stubborn, dirt smothered, stuck bolts. Two I manged to pop loose actually were more than loose; they decided to break free from their welds and become NOT removable. The previous guy also (or the shop) had welded the 4 inch tip to the frame in the back. Needless to say lacking the tools needed it allowed some stress relief with a hammer... After all that I literally threw the parts in our driveway just to make some noise. Got the header in place -- struggled to line up the EGR Valve deal -- and decided it was time for some food at 9PM At least we got the stereo in today...that's the real way to make noise!!

bishop245 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 LOL yup my kicker 10's hooked to my planet audio amp do make more noise than my dual exhuast, but its the exhaust that tends to make folks want to race me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 I hate EGR valves. We're going to bypass the whole damn thing. The stereo, even with it's temporary sub, bumps. A lot. It makes me jealous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePanda Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 ARRRG. So was too angry to update this past weekend, but the header has been pulled out. Damn thing didn't fit with the flex pipe. Damn people sold me one that didn't fit... The rest of the parts fit; but that means I'm stuck with cat-back with the original (stock) header and stupid cat back in. UGH!!!! Also -- have some pictars to share -- waiting on new drivers to install...then will post! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePanda Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Starts to the stereo -- Pulled this from the tiger -- nothing too special, just needed a generic head unit These speakers are surprisingly awesome -- real tweaters mounted in the door panels too -- no pic for you yet... Cables routed well... And things fit nicely up front... I'm runnig two amps -- one to feed the front components and one for the dual 12"'s I'll be rocking in the back...also from the tiger -- just need Waco to build me a box...hehehe BOOM BOOM BOOM!

sword_fish Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 doing good there Blue. cant wait to see/hear your new toy rolling/booming ....god i missed my setup cant return the header? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePanda Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 doing good there Blue. cant wait to see/hear your new toy rolling/booming ....god i missed my setup cant return the header? Working on a return deal with the seller atm. Trying to get return shipping paid for. It's just a defect from the people they buy from -- but the entire batch they have seems to be botched. So for now just a return is in my future. Saves me a bit of money for the time being -- so who knows what I'll have to get instead...haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVIYTH0S Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Sorry to hear that. Luckily my friend can was able to weld my 2.5" downpipe to my stock tiny catback system or I would have been screwed. Good luck on the return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
