Custom Exhaust
For the longest time I was looking around for the right exhaust for me. I was looking for a pretty smooth, deep tone with no rasp. I was really leaning towards shelling out for a Lachute, since they dropped $100, but still didn't want to spend that much on a catback. I then found a custom exhaust shop that was around the corner from where I work that made custom exhausts for $395. I was a little skeptical at first but for the price I figured "what the hell." I'm really glad I decided to go this route because I was able to tell them exactly what I wanted in an exhaust note and they were able to deliver. What I ultimately ended up with is a custom exhaust with two Magnaflow mufflers. Not very loud but not too quiet and has a nice deep tone. Here are the pictures and eventually I will get around to posting a video or two.

I might be able to get a video made tomorrow. I'm not really sure what the part numbers are but I can ask the shop that did the work.

Here are the videos I promised. After listening to it on video I can definitely say it sounds a bit deeper in person.

Sounds good. I considered doing this at the local muffler shop but with two flowmasters.

for 395, that's a really good value -- what's the weight on that thing? it's quiet though, very close to stock volume but deeper tone.
Nice work! |

Thanks! I'm not sure what the weight is on it. I was talking to them again today about possibly getting a uel put on as well.

I still have my TRD exhaust that has dropped quite a bit since I bought it (last year this time). |

pretty nice setup!
I wish my car sounded that quiet... Invidia N1 is loud with UEL and no cat front pipe. |
