Project Lex

[scheides]

What's the trans coming out for again? I think I missed that...clutch?

I love how this project went from like fiddly stuff to suddenly yanking out the trans, like its not that different than you and freckles (rip) installing your stereo, just another item on a list. You rock dude! I can't wait to see this thing in action.

Also, did that turbo blanket come black, or did you paint it? Looks pretty good in black I must say!

Yeah clutch job. Just throwing in a cheap 6-puck ebay disc using the stock PP to get me by this year.

And yeah the turbo blanket came black already. Does look nice. Wonder what it will look like after a season of abuse though...

Hmm for 300+ bucks id just order up some bends and a muffler and get the exhaust fabbed up in a day, shouldnt be too hard!

Looks good!

Dude, just get a that Top Speed dual rear section that's already pre-made dual 2.25" (I think it was and I'm sure that's still better than a single 3") for $250 then get a Y of a 3" to dual 2.25". I personally hate SC's with one can and the two slots still in the back for two mufflers.

BTW, I have some extra stuff like some random -3 and -4 AN oil feed / brake lines + fittings/T's etc... Some oil drain fittings/hose/gaskets, etc...

Hit me up if you need something and I'll tell ya if I have it.

Link to the exhaust ur talkin about?

This and then the rest can be made with another muffler on the single pipe before it splits to two.

Cher I decided to listen to your advice, I'm not going to cheap out on that exhaust.

So I'm trying to decide what to do. Like I said I want this quiet. So I have a few things to decide on. What I do know is I'm going to run 3" all the way until it splits for dual. That point and on is where I'm unsure.


Dual 2.5 or dual 2.25? some info I've been considering:
The surface area of a 2.25" pipe is 3.97"
The surface area of a 2.5" pipe is 4.90"
The surface area of a 2.75" pipe is 5.93"
The surface area of a 3" pipe is 7.06"
The surface area of a 3.25" pipe is 8.29".
The surface area of a 3.5" pipe is 9.61".

So if I split to dual 2.25", the surface area is 7.9". which is about the same as a 3.25" single.
If I split to a dual 2.5", the surface area is 9.8" which is about the same as a 3.5" single.

Advantage of going 2.25 is slightly less cost, easier to route.
Advantage of going 2.5 is more flow (but do I really need it?).

Ant experts out there have any thoughts on that?

i would just go with the 2.25 after the split. its easier to route and cheaper. as well as it will outflow the rest of the exhaust.

also if you wanna keep it quiet, i think you should add 2 resonators on the main 3" section. thats how its run on the TT 3/S cars and it sounds good. they are both 3 liter engine but the main differance being the strait 6 vs the V6
