Re: Project Lex
Cool, I think that's what I'll do. I do have a left over 3" resonator from my old talon turbo back I'll used. If it still ends up being louder than I wanted, there's enough room under there to later add a 3" muffler underneath.

Re: Project Lex
I have a 3" in/out resonator pipe, a little over 20" long, you can have it for free if you want it.

Re: Project Lex
you could keep the stock exhaust and put a e-cutout in the down pipe thats what i got on my talon i love it.. nice and quite when i dont feel like being loud and obnoxious. just fuel for your thought, figure all you would need to buy then is a 3inch downpipe with a 3inch cut out welded to the end then a flange to the stock exhaust

or
http://shop.quicktimeperformance.com...ct_detail&p=30
and weld on of those on to a 3inch downpipe

Re: Project Lex
Well ended up finding 2.5 mufflers that are cheaper than 2.25, so I'm going to do dual 2.5".
So it'll be the ebay 3" downpipe that I got with the manifold kit. Going to a custom 3" midpipe I'll make out of my Talon's old turbo back using the flex section and the 3" resonator from it. Then it will split to dual 2.5" using this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3-INC...item3cb49ded6c
Then two offset in/out 2.5" mufflers in the rear. Will have to find some tips for them. Look just like the magnaflow one I had on the Talon. Got my fingers crossed they end up being great. They are cheap as fawk:

Re: Project Lex
Because I was recommended this as a cheap option for the power level I'm aiming for this year.

Re: Project Lex
This year is 350-400hp. Just going to run WG boost levels to get used to the car, get kinks worked out, and also the current drivetrain can't handle much more.
And more updates
PP torqued to 14lb/ft. Tranny is back in, woo woo. Driveshaft and all that stuff is back in. Thanks for letting me borrow the tranny jack Aaron. I don't think I coulda done this job without it.
SO with that being done, what's next? Manifold. Thanks again to Andy at Elite for chopping off the old WG flange and tacking my new one in place.
Test fitting everything up. Brand new exh. mani gaskets Going to chop the end off the comp housing and get a 90* welded on that. Mo lemme know when you got your welder all setup!!
Onto the pics!
Collector. Seen better, but seen worse. It'll do just fine for me
Exh. Housing on, and downpipe halfass installed just for me to see how it lines up.
More test fitting:
Extended Tip Son!!

Re: Project Lex
I must have missed it, but what are you doing for an intake manifold?

Re: Project Lex
Stock intake manifold. Again, trying as much as possible to go 1 by 1. Change as little as possible. Get that working as good as possible before changing anything else.
