WORKS Exhaust System - Development
 

Hi everyone im happy to share with you guys the new WORKS exhaust system. WORKS will offer a full ala-carte of exhaust components. This means all pieces will work with any of the stock oem components


WORKS first developed the WORKS muffler delete R-AB (Resonated Axle Back) Exhaust and it is awesome. I tested it for a couple of weeks and it was very quiet for a muffler delete. With the use of resonators there is no drone inside the cabin @ 70mph cruising. Best feature of this exhaust is it's very light with a weight saving of 10.5 lbs versus stock. This is far more better than BERK

Specs: Features 64mm (2.5") tubing, 455mm (18") glasspack resonator and beautiful 102mm (4.0") double walled (prevents yellowing), resonated, stainless polished tips with the "WORKS" etched logo. Direct bolt-on to the factory flange, OEM-style hangers for precise fitment and swaps back to stock in minutes.

here's a pic and sound clip of the AB

Next step is the WORKS Catback system

The catback includes a resonated mid pipe and a choice between the AB or a more quiet AB-M (Axle Back Muffler)

Exhale MidPipe Specs: With the exclusive WORKS Exhale MP bolt-on exhaust, it is a straight through design. Features 64mm (2.5") tubing, 455mm (18") glasspack resonator. Direct bolt-on to the factory flanges, OEM-style hanger for precise fitment and swaps back to stock in minutes.

The AB-M is almost the same as the AB but the resonator was replaced by a small muffler.

The AB-M muffler is very mellow and more of a gentleman's exhaust

I currently have the AB-M on my car at the moment and will be running this for a few weeks.

the catback system with the AB-M made an impressive 9.3 hp gain vs. the stock system

below are photos, video/sound clip and of course dyno graphs!

Next we will be developing the front pipe and the over pipe. The front pipe might come in three versions: Catless, Catted, and Resonated.


I will update this thread again after we've tested the over back and header back systems

WORKS decided to change the muffller of the AB-M to a non-seamed muffler

also we decided to change the tips to better ones

This will be the final version for the AB-M

Looks like it would be really loud.

something off with this

care to explain please? ;)

any chance for more vids of the R-AB?

we will try to get another video for the R-AB soon (need to find someone with a stock midpipe) lol

the left tip is straight pipe, right tip is goes through muffler

the airflow on the left tip is not direct so it will just get the bleed off of passing airflow

i will post a pic later to further explain

weight and potential price please...


Bill
