I need to upload them to youtuber, but I will probably just make a new one this summer when I get my car re-registered.

Yours is n/a right? Mine is turbo... which has a very different exhaust sound than n/a (deeper and not as raspy).

I'll upload mine once I do the gaskets! Maybe I'll do a before and after installing a test pipe too, just for funsies.

^^^ For about a week after my turbo swap was complete, I drove around with just the downpipe dumping... scared the crap outta everyone around me.

I did have a test pipe in place of my cat for a while... made for a very nice exhaust sound, but swapping it out every year got old, so I just leave it in now.

That sounds fantastic. Mine just sounds silly right now. Loud and puttery at the engine. The muffler has a nice tone to it but it's drowned out at the moment, and the exhaust leak is pretty darn big haha.


Surprisingly with all of the smog ****'s in Cali it's only every two years for me! So I figure 4 bolts every 2 years isn't so bad.

Seriously... Utah has more strict smog laws than Cali. The only benefit is virtually no under hood checks.

Here in the great Republic of Kanucktustan, we do not have emissions checks! In fact, in Alberta, men pride themselves on running straight pipe or no pipe at all! Why have an exhaust at all!? Just disconnect at the engine, peel of the gasket and deafen your neighbors!

Some would argue flow

But either way, I like a good amount of noise but it has to be good noise. Obnoxiously loud I just hate.
