Nevermind, misread your statement.

 

I figured.

 

your not going to notice much difference on a NA no matter what after market exhaust you get, basically it just comes down to sound and looks.

 

That is true.

 

I noticed a difference on my NA

 

what he's saying is that you won't notice a difference from exhaust to exhaust on an NA.

 

While reading through this thread, I actually think I felt a seizure coming on. Luckily you guys got it all figured out.

If someone likes the way the HKS system looks, then that's the best exhaust for their car. I personally don't like it as much as the Labree system sold by Specialty Z. I accept the fact that I may be losing a little power because the exhaust may not be as free flowing. The difference between the HKS and the Labree is enough power to show on a dyno, but probably not enough to feel. It's all about personal preference.

 

you got it eh! I agree with 91 I don;t really care how my exhaust comes out. it's not a big diference I just want it to sound and look good.

 

Thank You 91. Again for the Labree plug. I bought that exhaust and I love it. Sounds Great and looks good too. I personnally don't go for the Grapefruit Shooter look, and from what I've noticed they make even a harty motor sound like a pizzed off bumble bee. Exhausts are funny things. Depending on the mods really dictates how much you gain from a free-flowing system.

 

Pissed off bumble bee eh?
I dont think you've ever heard a HKS exhaust system.

HKS Hiper

 

ohhh NIce man. Mine is goign to sound like that. it sounds like U got's an INtake. that Pssss sound from teh front. what else U got

 

that's not his car. His car is black from the pics at the beginning of the thread.

 

:doh: Doh!!!

 

Yes its not mine, mine sounds exactly like it though. Minus the BOV

 

I didn't pull up the link 'cause I'm on slow-*** dial-up, but are you saying that your N/A with the Hiper exhaust sounds just like a TT with the Hiper exhaust?

 

yea, it's going to sound a little different. Completely different compression, etc. Plus you can't hear the BOV in that vid. There's no load on the car when it's in idle so he couldn't create boost and set the BOV off.

 

Plus, the turbos act as mufflers. An N/A will be louder than a turbo with the same exhaust system, no matter what system it is.

 

true, forgot about that.

 

Actually you can build a small amount of boost in neutral by reving it. That is the sound which someone thought was an intake. Its the HKS SSQV

 

Not without having the proper equiptment.

 

what are you talking about?
the right equipment?

 

Sorry,I had read something somewhere about something that would allow you to build boost at idle, but I can't find it.

How are you building boost at idle? How much boost?

 

Go out to your car, discconnect the hose from the recirculation valve, rev the engine and listen.

 

That's not building boost. Yes, the turbos are pushing air, but they are not pushing enough air when the car is in neutral to increase pressure in the combustion chambers. When you mat the throttle with the car in neutral, what does your boost gauge do? It shows 0. Which means no boost. Boost at the recirc valves doesn't mean anything. If you want to do another check, disconnect a vacuum line and connect a vacuum gauge to it. Mat the throttle. Again...0.
