J2 exhaust, quad tip...my newest addition

[Onealpha]

Just rolled the dice and bought the quad cat back off ebay for $360. Used Best Offer. Started with $350 but they all declined it. Next i tried $360 and Bingo! I will update the thread once its installed. Thanks

Any dynos yet?
Also how does these compare to other aftermarket, In terms on Loudness

[troek]

i will say its pretty loud. i cringe when i first start it up in the morning, lol. unfortunately no dynos that ive seen. and i cant justify spending the 200 it costs to dyno a car here, just to find out my car is as slow as it feels, lol. too many other goodies id rather spend 200 on.

No, exactly the opposite and that's the way it should be.

haha yeah i thought so but i wasnt sure. yeah im diggin the sound of this, especially for the price. the wife would disagree though, haha. butt dyno shows some improvement on the top end, but my butt has been known to be influenced by sounds from time to time.

Troek, did you install the downpipe also, or just the cat back? Just curious.

[troek]

downpipe as well. everything bolted up super easy. quick install.

Sorry to sound like a nanny, but working on a minesite kinda ingrains these things in your mind

EDIT: wish I had access to a ramp like that (or a hoist, not fussy)

[troek]

yeah i would of liked to pull forward all the way but my buddy thought i was gona scrape. i had my ebrake on and 6th gear, so i felt comfortable with it. i actually have access to a full lift, but it was closed that day, and i wasnt about to wait.

Your running cat less everything and no resonators?

[troek]

everything but the OEM header is the J2 engineering quad tip set up.

Possible solution:
Get the round 2.5" inlet/outlet universal Varex muffler from XForce in AU. Fashion a 2nd center section of pipe to replace the front piece of the cat-back where the resonator is located. Butterfly closed means really quiet operation; butterfly open should sound just like it does now.

This is my plan once the warranty is expired and I pick up a full Borla exhaust with EL headers.

That is slick, but not cheap. Costs more than the whole exhaust!

yeah, ive looked at the simple butterfly valves that just bolt in, and are cable operated. my buddy has one on his r32 and it works pretty good.
