So... my aspiration system is completely done. Maybe in the distant future I'll get an intake manifold and/or throttle body if someone actually develops an affordable one that actually has cost effective benefits. I don't see that happening any time soon though, so I'm calling it done.

That is rather loud/not my taste.
Good for you. |
It's light.

Not as great sounding as I hoped for. I don't mind how loud it is, as mine will be not be run on the street, just sounds like the car is struggling. My wife says she'll think a harley's coming down the front straight if my car sounds like that. Hopefully, it sounds a little better after a couple of hundred miles. Great job putting it all together though.
What's the current weight, and power output? |
The catback sounded like doo doo for a while. I think it's just now breaking in and sounding better. That front pipe is brand spanking new though, so I think it's responsible for a lot of that klanginess. I'm hoping it will start to sound better soon. It's certainly not the best sounding thing ever. But I'm here for the performance, not the sound.
Estimated approximate current weight and power are about 2,470 pounds and I guess maybe like 175 horsepower. That's quite the guess though. |

But, I've always found setups like this just bring attention to how underpowered a four cylinder a car like this is and make them sound unbearable. It's the kind of exhaust I hate being around because it gives me a headache to hear either the drone or the popping of emptiness because the car just isn't pushing out all THAT much in the way of exhaust gasses to fill all the piping up. It goes for so many 4 cyls out there. You start putting free flowing this and that and they just start to sound brutally bad. But, keep doing what you do. Cars are personal, as long as you love what you do :w00t: |
Thanks @Anthony.
So, now you've removed pretty much everything. What else is getting removed/replaced? That or what's next? |

Steering wheel - need to fabricate an adapter Battery - terminals are in the mail Rear control arms - in the mail... "supposedly" Tires - just waiting for these to wear out Then a bunch of other things I can't afford yet. I've been putting a huge amount of focus into my car since I started modding it just over a month ago. I'm really happy with it right now, so I'll be turning my attention towards my house soon. The car mods are going to start creeping at that point. Once I buy a new house though, it'll be back down to business with the FR-S. |
