installed my espelir exhaust!

[brwnrice]

finally received my exhaust tonight after four days. first impression was like "ooohhhh.....ahhhhh.....shiiiinnnyyyyy…..exxxhhhhaa auuussttt. anyways, the welds were are top notch, exhaust hangers are made of stainless steel. It took me two hours for the install, I could have done it in less time but it was dark outside. i'ved dented the exhaust already with my carelessness :cry: but oh well, it's not like it is going to affect performance. two things of concern for me, the exhaust tip sits kinda close to the bumper and one part of the piping is about half an inch close to one of the diff bolt.

Fixed your post with the correct image links. Hope you don't mind. (See, I only use my moderator powers for good. 8))

[brwnrice]

thanks tam! as you can see by the fifth pic that one of the diff bolt has about half an inch space from the piping (upper left, rusted bolt). so far havent heard the piping hitting the bolt. hopefully it will stay that way.

brwnrice,

that tailpipe is mightly close to the bumper, let's do a groupbuy on those heatshields.

[wilson1]

Btw, is that a 4" tip?

[evo_dadi]

i thinks its about 3.5 same as the hks carbon-ti.man that looks hella nice man!! cant wait to see it this saturday amybe shoot some lemon out of it ;)

[nebolic]

the exhaust tip to bumper distance looks about the same as my HKS, i havn't expereienced any problems so far (knock on wood) so hopefully you wont either, but we'll compare the two when we meet up on saturday

[blitzkrgCT9A]

Nice looking exhaust!!! congrats! :) JDM all the way!

[xchoirboy]

Looks sweet can't wait to hear it.

brwnrice,

wilson, the tip is 4" and yes the tip is kinda close to the bumper. after my test drive last night i went to feel the bumper and i did not feel any hot spots at all so all. if somebody makes a carbon exhaust shield then i'm down for a group buy.

Looks good Gerrold... :D

How does it sound?

[brwnrice]

it has a nice deep sound and not too raspy. i think it's louder than Jan's buschur though. :?

[SouthernCrane]

Jan's Buschur really wasn't that loud to me.

[JanSolo]

it has a nice deep sound and not too raspy. i think it's louder than Jan's buschur though. :?

Yeah but yours looks more bling bling!

[brwnrice]

it's not bling, bling any more with a damn dent at the tip! now it looks more like blang, blang! :D

[BluEvo]

that's siiiiick! looks big pimp'n bro.....does it feel any stronger on the but-o-meter?!

[brwnrice]

yeah it feels faster from the but-o-meter! maybe it's the increase of noise that make it seem faster :roll:

[JanSolo]

Well you are supposed to gain around 10whp from a new exhaust. So, your buttometer is probably not lying to you.

i found some carbon fiber ones here http://www.bulletproofautomotive.com/catalog-detail.php?ID=2278
if u guys r interested. they are not cheap but they are carbon....

[SouthernCrane]

Doesn't look like it will fit USDM EVOs. JDM bumpers are a bit different in shape. They look cool though.

[GReddy_917]

Brian is right...that will not fit our bumper...just do a search on the "other" forum.

[brwnrice]

i'm thinking of making my own carbon exhaust shield, just need to buy the supplies. i found this informational site about molding carbon fiber but it is very time consuming though.
