Want to try something diffrent with our exhaust.
 
So i went out the other night to applebees with my cuz and a bunch of friends and family. We all decided to take our own cars, which consisted of my 370z, a challanger srt (just exhaust), A GMC 3500 quad cab dually (exhaust and banks power), and a my cuz lambo LP560 with a redic exhaust.

After this night i have decided that i want to get and exhaust. butttt i want something loudd. but at the same time its nice to be able to just cruse around and it be quiet in the car. sooo i have come up with the idea of a cut out/s on the stock exhaust. Ive heard a g37 with straight pipes and i loved it. its a very simple way of having a nice quiet ride or going extremly loud.

Just looking for some input :tiphat:. saw a thread a while back but could find it.

The Berk HFC's should be nice and loud for you while keeping it tame under 3k rpm.

Powercraft makes an exhuast that can be turned down...it sounds great...go to 370ztune to check it out...call and ask for mike hes the man!

I've been wanting to do this with my G37 for some time now. Couldn't find a place to do it though. Let me know if you find anything.

Just need a splitter pipe and a solenoid...order the solenoid on ebay and have a muffler shop weld you up a split pipe...

Here's a video of my car with an open y-pipe :)

every once in awhile we get someone who wants to do this. You will lose all backpressure leading to a loss of torque with cutouts. Check my other threads I think you'll find a exhaust to your liking.

Here, I'll save you the search

i want to do that or res test pipes for a nice crusing sound but i want to have the option of having a redic loud car. love loud cars.

I know about the loss of back pressure. im not doing it for performance. its just so i can fool around with a stupidly load car again. came from a daily driven firebird, bored .060 over, heads, headers, with straight pipes gutted cat. love loud cars. :tup:

NYBladeZ 08-31-2010 04:36 PM

In that case bro you might want to do something along the lines of what I did. I don't believe I sacrificed backpressure since I'm running straight pipes with 2.5" tubing but I won't be able to quantify that until I get a tune. I can tell you this though it is fkin loud, louder than my 04 Mustang GT with an o/r X pipe and a magnaflow exhaust. Hell if you're ever in the Huntington Station area on the weekends drop me a PM and we can meet up so you can judge for yourself. It's raspy though but what'd you expect, it was made by two guys who had to much free time at a pipe bending shop hehe.

nismo42 08-31-2010 06:10 PM

i hear you man...my last car was a shelby gt500 with an slp exhaust....pretty loud......heres the video, it starts off in silent mode..then the open it up...

backpressure = bad
exhaust velocity = good

NYBladeZ 08-31-2010 09:52 PM

no backpressure=bad thus you don't see cars without TT's running 3" exhausts

tonybui 09-01-2010 12:04 AM

What r u doing driving the 370z when your cuz is driving the lambo LP560?

J/K

backpressure myth - Google Search

NYBladeZ 09-01-2010 07:54 AM

So get cutouts and dyno it, that will quantify the "myth"

lol well he may have money but it never comes my way. He still owes my 50 bux from a bet i had with him haha. The best is when he pulls up in his lambo and make a $20 bet :roflpuke2:

/shrug

or you can take advantage of the research of all the other people/companies that have already investigated this.

for example:

Dinan BMW - Dinan's M3 E46 Exhaust

an excerpt:

Quote:

I’m fairly certain that many of you have been exposed to a “bench racing legend” that would have you believe that increased backpressure will improve low rpm power and that low backpressure will increase high rpm output. Nothing could be further from the truth. An exhaust system is sized for maximum flow at wide-open-throttle and peak rpm. All exhaust systems are “oversized” for lower engine speeds (rpm), as backpressure is so insignificant that it can’t even be measured. Less back-pressure always results in more power at higher rpm, with no negative effect on lower engine speed performance. The amount of power that can be extracted from an
engine at a given rpm as a result of exhaust design is really limited by the exhaust manifold or header. After the header, less backpressure is always better.

The real challenge when tuning a street-car exhaust is to increase flow without making the system so loud as it becomes unacceptable or even illegal.
