I'm sure this has happened to at least 1 other person, but, maybe not.

Anyways, my stock exhaust somehow cracked in half early last week while I was on the highway, had a very unique, yet sort of grungy sound to it. Every now and then I could also hear my turbo spool down through the exhaust and the spool time was much faster.

So today I'm coming home from college on the highway and I start to hear a clinking noise from under the car, my exhaust couldnt hold itself up anymore. I just hope'd that it didn't fall off by the time I got home, it had other plans. I was almost home when all the sudden my car sounds loud as all hell and i stopped hearing the clinking noise.... look in my rearview and see my cat and a little bit of pipe rolling around on the road.



Anyways, our cars sound like freakin' semi's if they are ran off of the stock downpipe. It sounds pretty damn good actually, but wow is it ever loud. I don't know how long I'll be able to stand it, lol.


EDIT: gsxracer80, I'm not sure if I will still be able to get you my stock exhaust.... it seems to have deterated. If you can't find anybody else with what what you need, let me know and I should have it fixed by then, unless I just say screw it and let it run like this.

when I first installed my 3" exhaust (it was cut in half for transport) I ran around for the first couple of days running downpipe only.... like spy said, beautiful and crazy loud all at the same time... but the DSM turbo sounding like a semi turbo spooling up is one of the most beautiful sounds in the world.

BTW.... on the exhaust... if you don't have it by the time I return, I am sure I can find another one around.

Yea I figured it wouldn't be hard, mine is probably not gonna be excatly what you are looking for since I had two prior leaks and then it just split in half. Probably not the best even thought it is only for temporary use.

But yes, the semi turbo spool sound is simply amazing. I'm wasing gas just to hear it and gas is damn near 3 bucks a gallon atm.

I have a 3" turbo-back setup with an electronic cutout that needs a home. I would have to cut it into sections for shipping, though. Let me know.
