Just making this car run the way I believe it should. 55+ MPG highway with 200+ft/lbs and not your typical grandma car. I like surprising people on the highway.

I was following this in your other thread: [h=1]Rubber charge pipe upgrade.

Are you finished with the pipe replacements? Can you post a parts list or piece list as the case may be and a description of what you did?[/h]

Finally got it fabbed up and welded. Just need to make the hole for the o2 bung.

 

[WHITECO]

Awesome

Got the o2 bung in there. Car runs great!

Is your car a diesel?

No it's an Le2 1.4t direct injection.

I'm not sure how. My mistake? I thought I put it in gen 2 powertrain.

Maybe a moderator can move it for you.

They'll notice sooner or later. Here's a sound clip with the new gmpp exhaust. I love that it's not loud or ricey.

I still have to modify my custom downpipe and replace the hollow secondary cat with a straight tube and possibly a Helmholtz resonator to eliminate what little drone it may still have.

Just a pic for reference.

Soon to be the new exhaust setup. (Gmpp exhaust sounded stupid with my custom catless downpipe and second cat delete) It was a choice between magnaflow xl3 mufflers or stock resonators used as mufflers but when i saw the thrush turbo mufflers at autozone,I figured I'd give them a shot for only $30 each. I need to buy the mandrel bends and second exhaust hanger to make the new setup. But i tested just one of the mufflers and it should sound great with the y-pipe and second muffler.

Nice. Had a thought of the same thing myself. Keep the updates coming and a sound clip of the completed setup.

I thought your last video of the exhaust note sounded very good. Nice and throaty with none of that annoying high-pitched ricer-boy blatting.

But then the muffler packing dissintegrated and sounded stupid. Remember i have a catless downpipe and a straight pipe in place of the second cat. Ive done side branch (quarter wave) resonators and theyve toned it down quite a bit and gave it a unique sound but it still has the ridiculous rasp.

but it still has the ridiculous rasp.

Post a video of the way it sounds now, if you have time.
