View Full Version : Feb 28th Exhaust comparison volunteers

I would like to get volunteers who have an aftermarket exhaust on their Evos for recording sound clips on the day of the meet. so we could have a listing and sound sample of all the different exhausts. We'll take sounds from the inside & outside of the car (at idle and revving from 4500rpm). We'll be recording it from a certain distance and using a db meter at the same time, so guys post the setup of your exhaust so we can make a list of volunteers. Also, we will be recording a stock Evo to establish a base line sound level for people to compare against. All cars must have the stock cat installed.
[list]
Name / exhaust setup
1. Evo_Dadi / RMR Turboback
2. JanSolo / Buschur Racing Catback
3. ytsejam / WorksRally Exhale

6. Wilson1 / Perrin Catback
7. Nebolic / HKS Hi-Power Catback
8. JStockdale / Works Exhale, IP, DP

nebolic has HKS Hiper Catback...he might be participating too...

Ok we will include your Works Exhale as well. Hopefully we can an Exhale with a IP (hint, hint Lord Stockdale!).

nobody has the helix exhaust?

Thanks, we will add you to the list of volunteers.

oh yeah huh :oops: hopefully i'll finally decide what kind of exhaust should i buy after the meet.

you can put me down for the HKS catback if you still need one.
eh evodadi, i will try to test my pipe sound

Jan: Yeah put me down for the full Exhale (DP+IP+AB)
I'm definitely planning on being there.

Oops! Brwnrice already volunteered for the stock Evo.
If anyone has the RnR exhaust, don't bother applying. We already have a Buschur exhaust and the RnR is a blatant ripoff of it.

Might be interesting to hear Leroy's stock (XFlashed) Evo to see if the XFlash changed anything. I know, I know, very very probably not, but it can't hurt to try.
As for the RnR, we might as well too, IMO. Having more datapoints is good.
Anybody have a good mic/portable recording setup? Also, a sound dB meter?

02-16-2004, 02:52 PM
Since evo_dadi has a RMR turbo back, do you guys want one with a RMR cat-back like I have on mine so you can compare any sound difference? I'm game.
JanSolo
02-16-2004, 06:57 PM
The RnR exhaust is a complete duplicate of the Buschur, so there is no point IMHO. Might as well just take a second Buschur catback for comparison to another Buschur exhaust.
That's okay though, since no one probably has that exhaust.

evodadi, since i bought my espelir exhaust humbly withdraw my position as the baseline guy but i volunteer to be the one having an espelir catback though.

Will you have it in time for the meet?

02-20-2004, 11:57 PM
I will bravely volunteer not to get the Buschur catback just so I provide the baseline/stock exhaust car. :lol:

On a related note, does anyone have:
- A sound level (dB) meter;
- A decent microphone;
that we could use?
brwnrice
02-21-2004, 05:40 PM
got the tracking number and ETA is "tuesday". i'll have it in time for the meet if everything goes well.

Ok now this is what I want to see, and hear, well I will be there on the 28th, and I can finally hear how all these exhausts sound.

I've got Tanabe's Ultra Medallion Exhaust +Tanabe Downpipe I'd like to volunteer just to see how it measures up.

done,this should be a good list of comparisons of exhaust set-ups. hey brwnrice when should we change your exhaust from stock to espilir :)
vtluu

Hey walgreens, what about you? I think it would be great to have an Evo with the "muffler-delete" option for comparison too.
EDIT: saw walgreens' post earlier. Marcel, you wanna put him on the list under "muffler-delete pipe"?
JanSolo
02-23-2004, 10:35 AM
I think the problem with Walgreens muffler delete is that it is a custom job. I would prefer to document exhausts that people can readily buy from any online vendor.
vtluu
02-23-2004, 11:26 AM
I think it wouldn't hurt to have it anyway. Besides, a big "YMMV" applies to any of the results we'll get... and there shouldn't be much variations on a muffler-delete pipe anyway. Also, the reason I'd like to record *first* is that it--being the loudest thing possible--would allow us to calibrate our recording setup.
JanSolo
02-23-2004, 11:38 AM
With all the happenings at the meet and the sheer amount of time to coordinate it all, I am going to have put my vote in not to tape Walgreens exhaust. Does not seem worth it unless someone decides they like his setup and wants to buy a similar setup.

I have dB meter i think, i'll try and look for it. How close are we going to get with it (i.e. position, distance from exhaust), because i don't want the damn thing turning black. I hope i can find it.

We're going to follow the same rules the DMV uses to test compliance of exhaust systems: 8" up, 20" away at a horizontal angle of 45 degrees off-center. Testing is done at 75% of redline RPM (5250 for the Evo).
If we get it dirty, I promise to personally clean it for you. :)

Hey guys I just got my Tanabe Super Medallion Hyper exhaust today to go with my Helix DP...so I guess you can put me down too. :)

Sounds good, I don't think it will get too dirty at that position. Now all I have to do is find the damn thing....

the fedex man will drop off my exhaust tomorrow *crosses fingers* and hopefully install it that night. bought a dp from bushur for a low, low price of $150 and supposedly my k&n typhoon intake will be here all within this week. will the intake and dp be a factor on how loud the exhaust?
evo_dadi
02-23-2004, 10:13 PM
the dp yeah but for the intake it will make the bov more audible :) psssh psssh
JanSolo
02-23-2004, 10:26 PM
And a dp without a hiflow cat or test pipe will apparently screw up flow characteristics. What does that mean? I'm not sure exactly! :?:
SouthernCrane
02-23-2004, 10:28 PM
found the dB meter, but left it in Jan's car when I test drove his P2. He'll bring it on saturday, so if it's not there, blame him :wink:

list updated and i think this would be it since it will take time to record and test all exhaust set-up. and i think it would work better if all the guys would line up right away upon getting to the shop so were ready right away when we start.
hey greddy i saw the link that you posted about the exhaust and it looks nice not too much bling on it. :mrgreen:

I wouldn't worry about it, at the meet we can certainly add anybody else who shows up with an AM exhaust system that we don't have on the list...

One more exhaust added to the list.

I've had buschur's full turbo-back exhaust on my GVR4. ;)

Ok--this is now my "investigate on the web" list. I am trying to see what I want to buy for my virgin Evo. Guess the test on Saturday will help too.

Sorry guys, I had to get to bed early Saturday (9pm) so I could get up at 4am Sunday and drive to Atwater for the American Auto-X Series. Got back last night and was exhausted so long story short I haven't processed the videos and recordings yet.
I'll PM people for the details on their exhaust systems today and will post numbers first, then sound and video clips.
