Does it feel any different to drive? Are you tuned?

My car has not been tuned yet (happening soon). I'm afraid that the only difference that I noticed was intense preasure to drive gently to keep it quiet. I haven't really taken it accross the entire tachometer yet because I've gotten so used to shifting to avoid the torque dip.

Edit: Uh, this may have just been in my head, but it felt like it reved quicker.

Can you record a video w/ the silencer in the cb? I wonder how much different it would sound.

Holy crap that sounds like it's loud as hell! Even from the crappy video quality (no offense), I can hear and image the loudness of the exhaust system haha. Luckily you're not in Cali. Thanks for the sound clip as it allows us to have an insight into the full Tomei setup!

What is the size and material of the thermo barrier?

Looks like that bar has elongated holes for the pipes to move a little during expansion. But i'm worried about those nuts becoming loose and falling off. Might be better to replace them with springs perhaps?

It has more rumble than the FT86speedfactory UEL.

I may change to your setup since it sounds pretty orgasmic....

The video quality is poor, but I tried to maximize audio quality. The biggest audio bottleneck is YouTube.

What is the tomei full expreme setup like during cruising? and would an exhaust that is 60mm match up with a supercharger in the future?

[brznoob]

The guys that have received the UEL header. Video Please!!!
Please specify if you have a tune or not. I have OFT stage1 right now till my UEL + overpipe arrives sometime next week. I did noticie that my car sounded a little bit different after flashing with the OFT tune.

My Tomei UEL Headers will be installed tomorrow! Sound clips will come tomorrow evening!

Today, I drove on the highway to and from work (full Tomei: EL, 60S, silencer), and it had very good manners. It was a little bit loud over 70mph, and it would have been way too loud if it didn't have the silencer. I liked the sound, and it didn't have any rasp unless I put my foot in it. On the way up the 9% grade hill from the video, it sounded the same but quiet enough that I didn't fear a "disturbing the peace" charge, and OMG did it sound good between those canyon walls! The echo between the rock is something that the video didn't pick up on, and it's not really a feature of this exhaust system anyway, but it's my own personal joy.

I was felled by the o2 sensor and lack of proper tool.
Videos soon. Stock + nameless track pipe + Tomei EL Header.
