Frs exhaust
 
Got my exhaust done today. Custom 2.5" piping from the over pipe back. High flow cat and resonator, straight pipe back. How should I expect it to sound with an UEL installed. Feedback and Imput welcomed. :)

Sounds pretty good to me. How's the ground clearance on that pipe?

Is this the Jeremy with the STi?

I would expect it to sound like it had an uel header fitted.

I wish I had the sti lol. The clearance is good, it doesnt hang down as low as you would think.

Wellllllll you has a point. Was just seeing if I should be thinking of adding a muffler after a header upgrade.

Outside the car with the OFT launch control. Still want to set it a tad bit lower than 5600 :/ one of these days I'll have my fiancé record a video of me driving by wot

Let's just say I need to get an actual muffler.. It sounds good if I'm cruising, gets super raspy when I open it up. Damn. Anyone in the Bay Area selling an axle back?

What kind of resonator are you running? Glass pack?

Sounds like a muffler would help out with the rasp.

I love custom exhausts, but i hate it when they don't sound as planned, which happens more than I'd like.

Not too sure on what resonator. All that I know is that it's an 18" resonator. I ordered a muffler so hopefully it'll help out a bit. If i cruise it sounds awesome, just going WOT is where it gets super raspy.

I've only done custom exhaust on all my cars and trucks. Just takes a few extra tries sometimes to get it right lol

Out of curiosity, how much was the custom work? Might it have been cheaper to piece your exhaust together?

all together I spent around $49x so lets just say $500. that covered the "HFC", 18" resonator, and 2.5" piping from the overpipe back.

I also just purchased a muffler section only to hopefully help bring down the rasp when I drive since I put on the headers, (right now its a straight pipe from the resonator back, its ungodly loud:eyebulge:.) that set me back $180. all together $680 for basically a full exhaust set up minus the OP. might buy that as well, not too sure yet.

That's a pretty good deal considering most of us spend more than that on a CBE.

That's true. Also something else I wanted to avoid, spending too much on a catback. Luckily I found a decent shop to go to up here in norcal. But if you ever want to go to an exhaust shop in the IE, I recommend going to Ralph's mufflers in fontana. Good prices,great work.

I'll keep that in mind. I'm not far from Fontana. I'm really considering getting a resonated front pipe with high-flow cat. JDL makes one for $450, but if I could get one custom made for less, it might be worth it.
