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


UPDATE

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

New addition May 2013

Resonated Front Pipe

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

I've bee talking to pete out there. He said they are testing out an up pipe and mid pipe. Do you know any progress on those parts?

all testing is being done to my car

currently my car has the mid pipe. see first post.

up pipe? you mean the over pipe? the over pipe is being develop and we shall have them by january

i have a stock mid pipe? LOL

yeah over :)

here are some prototypes on the jig

http://i1053.photobucket.com/albums/...7C532F3BEB.jpg

so far we've only weighed the AB which is 15 lbs

about 10lbs savings from stock muffler

we are targeting these prices:

Axle Back (Muffler Delete) - $349

Axle Back Muffler - $399

Midpipe - $ 399

Catback combo - $749

Looks and sounds good can't wait to see more info on the Axel back muffler.

Thanks..:)...it has potential for my application...We'll see.

Bill

i got the works drop in, flows better in higher rpms

yes the works drop in had an impressive 7-10 hp gains! :thumbup:

whoa, whaaat?? Liking the sound of that (I'm guessing with a tune?) I've been to WORKS on a few occations, when I had my 08' n/a lancer, then when I had my 11' RalliArt.. Cool guys, and they do good work. Just a little pricey for some things, but reliable. Might have to pay them a visit soon

No tune!

Yeah their products and services are top notch

Looking for a high quality axleback. Subscribed!

I dont understand why for the muffler delete theres only one video of it on a dyno. For a part that produces no power i would like to see some videos for sound lol

We are currently focusing on the system that makes power which is the header back system.

Once every thing is done we will go back the the AB for more videos

So a full header back system is in the works?

Yes. Front pipe and overpipe will be available soon

updates on the ABM exhaust

Can you buy the AB-M muffler by itself? Without all the other pipes lol

I think I will be down for the groupbuy, is the AB considerably louder than the AB-M?
Which of the two makes more power?

both version makes the same power.

the AB is louder than the ABM

AB is resonated while the ABM has a muffler

yes! the AB-M bolts straight up to the OEM midpipe

Oh okay, I guess my question was, is it really loud compared to the AB-M?
I like both, but if the AB sounds more aggressive without being too loud or annoying I would prefer that one.

when will that be sold? Videos and price? lol

Thank you

Price for full header back?

If the price for the ABM axelback exhaust is $400, it works with stock front and mid pipes, and produces about 4 to 5 hp or so .........then count me in for a group buy if that one!!!!

AM-B will be available on january. no videos yet for just the AB-M with stock midpipe

price will be $399 for the AB-M

header back is still under development. stay tuned!

yes price is $399. however, the AB-M (axle back muffler) alone does not produce 9hp.

the catback system is the one that produces 9++ hp

the catback system is made out of the WORKS AB-M and the WORKS Midpipe

I see no way for there to be indirect airflow in this design. Clearly, on driverside, the gasses exit un-muffled.

Opps thanks I just read on their website that thier midpipe alone makes 4 to 5 hp so I am guessing the axelback will still make a couple hp. I'm still interested in the exhaust

Also you can buy the mid and front pipes later for the ABM exhaust and it will be functional.
:happy0180:

yes you can buy the midpipe, frontpipe, and the overpipe later on and they will all just bolt on together :thumbup:
