Pipe from over the axle going into the inlet, then running one pipe straight out the back, the other one having a 90 degree bend, going over to the other side, another 90 degree bend letting you run it straight out the back on the other side.

It's not that hard... there are plenty of ways to do it. Just sit down and draw it out, maybe you'll come up with a better way.

Kinda like this??

btw, I HATE it like this. I get flow out the drivers side pipe but not the pass. ...but it sounds good!

i was thinking doing duals (true duals would be better), instead of the exhaust going back out the car it would go out behind the wheel, like the 87 buick regals or before the wheel would work too, like the vipers

thats the viper, u see where the exhaust exits before the wheel, or after would look good too...

damn i had to take a double take, mr dodge car is the same color with the same exhaust, and no emblems....could be my car! sounds identical too. I love it, especially under an overpass or in a tunnel, it sounds great! And i gained power from bottom to top. I think my stock muffler was a little plugged or something because alot of folks here say you lose torque, but with my car that just wasnt the case.

The only problem with running side pipes is that they need to exit behind the rear most passenger's head. In Michigan at least. Doing it on an intrepid would be cutting it close. Personally I'd rather have it exit behind the tire, a little quieter and it still looks cool as hell. I'll probably do that with mine next time, it would look really good with 1st gen firebird tips (duals).

 

[FlyingDevil]

i know it would look good on the first gen i've been thinking about this for a while only problem is i had to take it to an exhaust shop but dont have the $$ right now... but my only concern is the fuel and brake lines run on the driver side and im a little concerned that the extra heat thats gonna be coming from the exhaust pipes going under them...

 

[Chewievette]

Wrap it, get some header wrap and wrap the exhaust in that area. Or make a heat shield and put it above the exhaust. There are ways around the heat. For a heat shield you could go the the junkyard and snag a cat converter shield they are usually designed to clamp on to the pipe so install would be easy. I took my car to a shop for the exhaust that I have and I regret it. Worst $160 I ever spent. I love the sound but the method they used is rediculous.

 

[BluEHorizoN]

Chew is that who did your duals? The exhaust shop?

I can tell just by looking why the passenger side hardly gets any flow lol. It isn't even really a Y pipe... it just looks like they notched the driver side pipe, and welded the passenger side one into it, not to mention they crushed the **** out of that 90 degree bend on the passenger side (can you say backpressure?). You might've been better off buying piping off ebay and getting a decent Y pipe to distribute that exhaust flow between the two pipes.

I was 16 and it was my first mod, I blame being young and stupid.

Next time it gets done will be mandrel bent stainless, cut and fitted by me. Then the only one to blame will be me. One of the first things I do when I get it back on the road will be a trip to the exhaust shop. They are cutting off that pass side pipe and welding in a patch. I'm tired of one being covered in carbon and the other in rust. Its only a temporary fix but I wont kick myself as hard everytime I walk around the back.

 

[FlyingDevil]

man i spent $250 (ouch) on my cat back exhaust including flowmaster 40 series muffler... i got ripped off pretty bad but like chewievette said i was 17 and that was my first mod too, and i was deperate of getting an exhaust so i just paid them i still regret paying that much but i learned my leason...

 

[Chewievette]

see, exhaust is a tool of learning... at least it didnt cost Too much. I think the only reason mine was cheaper is because I dont have a muffler. Straight Pipes are Cheap!

Good posts! Has anyone on this site ever heard of the Aero Turbine muffler. It is the total rage at dodge truck world.com (I used to be a huge truck fan) I had a AT on my truck and imo it sounded much better than a MF or FM! Has anyone heard one on a V6?

 

[FlyingDevil]

aero turbine?? is that the one that MRT makes for V6 or V8 mustangs? if it is ive heard a couple on the internet and 1 in person its very nice... it has a nice growl to it. but as we know engine matters too

edit:
is this what ur talking about??

My buy list is as follows:

- Flowmaster 40 Series Single-In (3.00") Dual-Out (2.50") I believe that is correct
- 2.50" Stainless Steel Pipes (Need a little help how much and whatnot to buy)
- 2 Boom Tube 4" Chrome Exhaust Tips

Thats the basic things I need (this is my first exhaust mod) one of which I will get done at a muffler shop unfortunately...I dont have the space or tools to do this at home.

If there is any more i need to know or buy please let me know, thanks.

 

[BluEHorizoN]

Uh.... a flowmaster with boom tubes would be deathly loud. You might like it at first but believe me, you will get tired of it and the drone after a while.

 

[Chewievette]

Three years with my straight pipes and I still Love it! The one and only reason why I'm looking into mufflers is to change the tone a bit, take the raspiness out of it.

btw, I think my car is about as close to a v8 as your going to get from a v6. I'll take some sound from in the car driving around and you'll see[hear] what I mean.

 

[00RT]

I love the way your car has that "cammed up" choppy idle. It sounds badass.

 

[Chewievette]

When I put the turbo on it will smooth out a bit so I wouldnt get too attached.

I am uploading those vids to youtube, see what kind of comments I get.

 

[FlyingDevil]

wow that sounds nice, but a little raspy. nothing a resonator couldnt fix tho...
im thinking of doing true duels with a 'H' pipe and exit behind the wheel so it sounds more like a V8 (i just want it to be loud) i might try this when i get some extra ca$h

edit: just watched the second video it sounds awesome when revving. was the engine warm? or cold when u took the video?? and it kinda sounds like a train when idling lol che-che-cheche-- lol i like it

 

[Chewievette]

Both videos were taken after a long drive so, yeah, it was warm.

 

[stevo]

I kinda like that back sass but if only it were a little bit deeper and heavier, but youre right on the money for consistancy, thats how i want my car to sound when it idles, i want it to chug with a very beefy cammed sound and a little bit of heavy back sass.
