Well, I think my exhaust is loud compared to some others... not in a whiney loud but more of a rumble.

Yes I got the RFL Ti

I have the full Turboxs turboback with the Downpipe the highflow cat and the RFL Ti axleback.

I have been running with a CEL for 2 months now and have yet to take the time to get it pulled. MY guess is its the O2 sensor even though I have the high flow cat. I think the intake silencer removal and the 100% atmos Turboxs Type H bov is making me run so rich that its messing up the sensor.

fc: how good of a discount do you get at world one? I got my exhaust for under thier web advertised price... I think the number is around $1074 no tax and no shipping charges.

Keep in mind thats a 3" stainless steel turboback with a high flow cat and a Huge Downpipe and a nice muffler. Some people think its too much money untill they realize what it all comes with.


Well im done for now... cya guys on the road...

PS. If anyone wants to look at my leatherseats.com leather interior with grey suede inserts just hit me up. I got the whole kit for $750 on a group buy and installed them myself... they look stock.

if you think its too loud...we can trade mufflers and some cash. i got the regular canister and its not loud at all...but very deep and throaty when i get on it. but definatly noticable when i get on it. hehe

but yeah...that milk jug removal was the first thing i got rid of. definatly gave it that turbo sound i loved.

You're just so much smarter than me, Rguy. I'm so glad that you corrected my "intake silencer" with "intake resonator". Now everyone is very clear on what I was talking about. jackass. resonator/silencer.. same difference. the suby guys know what I was talking about, no need to clear it up. thanks again.

Actually it did need clearing up because i said it fucking did. There is a difference between a silencer and a resonator. Did you happen to hack the RESONATOR box up? yeah, its pretty complicated in there. Dont call it a silencer, because its not, its a noise cancellation device.(and i know im being fasecious, but i hate when people call stuff names they arent). And any car guy knows that its pretty much just a STUNNA mod as it offers no performance gain. Its just done for noise, thats it. SO take your "now i can hear my turbo spool , WOOHOO" ass and never attempt to Re-correct me again.

It's not a STUNNA mod, it's a free mod for people to do that don't have $. I took it out so that I could hear the turbo, and it did make the car louder than when I first bought it. What do you drive? And I still have the INTAKE SILENCER, and at one point I will probably hack it and put it back in, but for now, it's out, and I enjoy the sound. You have no idea what you're talking about.

yeah, it's easy and free. yet asses like Rguy that probably doesn't even have a suby, has to tell me i'm wrong b/c i call it a silencer. grow up, and keep your opinions to yourself. i can call it the big black box in the fender well if i wanted to. doesn't mean you have to post and tell me i'm wrong for calling it that.

but back to the main topic - it's a cool mod to do, so i suggest doing it if you haven't already.
