mune237 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 oh geez, I missed the part about "NO TURBO"so nevermind....just go to the local muffler shop and have a good free flowing muffler (like Flowmaster) put on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Vexed Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 i was gonna wait on a turbo back or dp cause i still have the stock 15g and may change in the future, so the purpose of this post was actually a cat-back system since it can remain stationary through any future mods... my main concerns were: advantages (if any) of 3" over 2.5" and basically longevity (which is why i hadn't mentioned OBX - a lot of you guys have em, but not long enough to tell me if they last or not), i plan on keeping my T5-R for my kids; i've had it since 88K and just turned 96K last week - so its just a 'baby' in Volvo terms. i want an exhaust that is great flowing, great sounding, and long lasting... dont we all? whats the general concensus? custom then? Ferrita? haven't heard anything about EST yet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlson Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 go custom or JT exhausts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washdup Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Ferrita? haven't heard anything about EST yet..I'm pretty sure EST sells the Ferrita. I have OBX dp with EST and am very happy with both sound and performance. It sounds like this outside, and this inside. Much less drone than the Evolve Sport Exhaust system on my prior R.

Flowmaster is hardly "free flowing". You want to go with something like magnaflow, or borla, something you can pick up and see straight through it. I'd recommend magnaflow, you can pick up a stainless steel muffler from them for about 50-60 bucks. I had a 2.5" magnaflow catback on my 96 t5 and it not only sounded great, it worked great. Very similar to the ipd and est exhausts. Quiet cruising but definitely growled when you wanted it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boost3237 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I think custom is the better way to go. I got a full 3" catless mandrill bent exhaust and it comes apart very easily I don't even have to have the car up on stands to get it on or off. If you do not want the droning though I would avoid 3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
