Max Capacity Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 I did hear back from them. They don't have a sound clip only the picture. I asked a few more questions, about fit up. He did reply in a timely fashion. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Code Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 It looks like the same cheap-ass FMS/GMS exhaust that's been around forever. "Striving to better, oft we mar what's well." - Bill Shakespeare - car modder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liljonson Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Looks like my cheap ass eBay one. I wouldn't trade it for anything. The cheaper they are the better they sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 if that sells for as low as 250, imagine how much it cost the manufacturer to make. its made of hopes and dreams, not real steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thanks for the link. I like to at least deal with a shop/place that I can email and get some customer service from. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

Code Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Lol. How's the customer service at CX racing? Gimmick motorsports? IPR? let me know how that works out for ya.

Max Capacity Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Had no real issue with customer service. They have answered my emails in a timely fashion. The exhaust is load, it's hard to talk when driving. I'll try the stock mufflers if it's not raining when I get home tonight. If that's not a good fit then the magnaflow 14319 seems like an option that seems to work. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

Code Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Another option is a 5" Borla xr-1 muffler. I had one welded in place of a 4" resonator on my AutoSpeed midpipe. It cut the volume way down.

Max Capacity Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks I had thought I read someplace about someone using a 5" muffler. I'll check that out. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

BX77 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Max have you heard the Magnaflow 14319 in person. Looking for a little sound but not to loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spec.B452 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 A vibrant ultra quiet resonator works wonders in these systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Max have you heard the Magnaflow 14319 in person. Looking for a little sound but not to loud No I have not, just in the video in the wagon exhaust thread. I don't think that lowered the volume enough. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/wagon-folks-resonator-helpi-87917.html post 62 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

Max Capacity Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 The other issue is the inside hanger rod is about a inch shorter then it needs to be. I used a screw type hose clamp on the outside rubber hanger to pull the muffler tip to the outside. I put the stock mufflers back on with only a washer between the flanges on the top flange bolt. It's a little louder then stock but better to ride in the car and talk to someone. Next big change will be when the Grimmspeed TMIC get's put on and a smaller boost pill with a tune. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

Just want a tiny bit more noise, but all sorts of rust on that part of the exhaust. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Ditto, lots of rust. Just pick up four 8mm x1.25 bolts, about 1.5" long and nuts with washers and lock washers, can of PB Blaster, and anti seize compound and do it. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.
