Well, I finally realized it was time for an exhaust system so I committed to going with a custom turbo-back exhaust. So after seeing Josh's dual exhaust in person on his V70, I decided to get an exhaust done at the same shop where he got his done. After getting a price, I decided to go ahead and get it done at a place called Mufflex Performance in Hamilton, NJ. Josh was telling me that they did Porsches, Lambos, and Audis so it sounded professional, as well as the way his exhaust looked. I went with a Magnaflow cat and muffler, and 2 resonators. I love the way it sounds, fairly quiet (no drone ) but very nice when you go WOT!

turbo back? that a stock DP?

[JESSEXC]

You have a resonator right after your high low cat? Also why didn't you have them build you a down pipe?

[NGB]

Josh, do you have pics of your car somewhere, i'd like to see your exhaust.

Connor, did you drive all the way from VA to NJ for the exhaust? Also, do you have a pic of then entire car with the new exhaust?

Thanks

Its actually flexpipe back. They said they didnt do a full downpipe because of limited space in that area.

Whats wrong with a resonator after the cat??

Connor, did you drive all the way from VA to NJ for the exhaust? Also, do you have a pic of then entire car with the new exhaust?

Yup, drove 300 miles for an exhaust system

And heres some pics of the whole car: http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php?showtopic=39210

Very nice, love your wheels! Gotta get me some Comets!

It sounds really nice. My only question is the same, why add 2 resonators in the setup? To control the noise? Did you consider going dual exhaust?

I had a shop tell me they couldn't do 3'' down pipe, it was funny. you should've just argued with them, they would've done it...otherwise not worth the money IMO...'nice welds.'

i've yet to even look, is 3'' back too low to the ground if you go straight back rather then follow the molded stock exhaust lines..?

[narxs70]

looks good and its probably good it didnt drone being that you drove 300 miles to get it done (that could have been annoying). good install and it looks good and sounds good. can't wait to get mine done.

Looks nice, naturally I'm sure that I am not the only one who is wondering....how much did you pay?

[the underlørd]

Its actually flexpipe back. They said they didnt do a full downpipe because of limited space in that area.

so then it really isn't a 3" turbo back.

i thought your dad just did gatti's exhuast? how come he didn't do yours?

Yeah Connors dad did install my exhaust but I think Connor wanted something different and maybe something a little more quieter. Besides....... the exhaust I had made from VMS took some time to make and many would not like the wait time.


Connor the exhaust looks great man and I can't wait to check it out when you get back in town.


Oh by the way everyone............ HAPPY NEW YEAR!
