I finally went around and did my exhaust.

The workshop that did it made it so that the muffler stays where the stock one was only that this one is straight-through instead of the maze that is our stock muffler for better airflow.

I've seen all the bolt ons etc and they all look like the exhaust runs way too close to the ground which prompted me to go custom along with the fact that i wanted a nicer note and a bit better airflow while still looking like the original exhaust (i'm a Provisonal license holder thus i'm now allowed to have performance mods by law). It is about 1" larger than the original exhaust but i think it's pretty good and sounds good.

Here it is.

And look at the monster that was removed.

Just imagine how restrictive it is.

Looks good dude, would be nice to hear it on a video or something if you can. I know alot of us are looking at custom exhausts to get a good sound.

The stock one may be huge, but how restrictive can it be? What does the inside of the canister look like? I always figured it to be one giant gap to hold exhaust...

As for your new exhaust, it looks awesome. What quality material did they use? How about a nice video clip to compliment the pictures?

All in all, good show! :gunsmilie:

very nice. what kind of muffler did u go with?

This thread needs a video

This thread not only needs a video but some answers like what kind of material they used and the exahust muffler itself.

Seriously! You alive over there Ravine? How bout some love for the rest of us!

do you lose engine power after changing the muffle?

Changing/removing the muffler will affect back pressure and low end RPM will suffer. Having no muffler is best for the mid-range to high RPM bands.

Personally, the only job a muffler is supposed to have is what the name states... muffle. It should reduce sound emissions and that's it. I hate all this back pressure nonsense.

To answer questions,

The muffler is made of Mild Steel. That's all i know of it's construction, the shop did the rest. The mufflers are all made on site and it's one of the best places in Sydney for exhausts (Liverpool Exhausts).

Video will come up later tonight once i get a new Youtube account rolling (Don't want to put it in my current Youtube as it isn't relevant). Currently at work so i can't do much about it.

To be honest, it feels as if i've gotten a bit more power in the high end RPM. The low end seems about the same but i feel a tiny but noticeable oomph in the higher RPMs.

Again i've stated, my exhaust isn't the loudest one out there but i think it does the job well.

Doesnt need to be the loudest, just look and sound great

+1

The exhaust looks great, I just want to hear that baby purrrrrrr.

Video is up.

Lovely man really nice great to see some more active Australians

Sounds nice. Only thing i see is that it looks close to your bumper i hope it won't melt or anything.

Nah, he's got at least a 1/2". He should be fine. The problem with the Greddy Ti-C is that it is less than a 1/4" away from your bumper (borderline TOUCHING the bumper) so that's where the melting issues lie.

The exhaust sounds great to be honest. That's exactly the kind of sound I want on my car. Quiet idle, light grumble in the lows, and ROARS in the highs. Kudos Ravine, job well done.

P.S: I'm loving the tags for the video... lol poor Soobies!

How much did the exhaust cost you from Liverpool?

I am possibly looking at getting the EVO X diffuser, and then putting dual tips either side on it.

When I sell my Liberty GT haha

It 250 all up.

However for stainless it would have been 500 or so.

I would have went for the stainless steel...

But then again, I live in Chicago where it's winter 3/4ths of the year!

i have the greddy ti-c exhasut on my lancer and there is no melting issues at all with it. yes there is only an like 1/4 inch clearence but doesnt get the bumper hot at all, the heat doesnt dispurse really from the side of the exhaust pipe so doesnt heat ur bumper, the heat comes out of the tip and that sticks out a bit past your bumper so, it will not melt ur bumper.
