Custom S60 Exhaust

Recommended Posts

make sure to take some good pics and possibly a couple different sound clips.

and one question, what kind of gaskets if any, will i need for this DP install?

pictures will be done as follows : closeup pics of entire downpipe , side by side comparison with oem downpipe , pictures of complete install

sound clips i can do but they likely wont be what you want - i run open downpipe , meaning : after my catless downpipe there is NOTHING - lol - i can get them but they are likely going to be too loud for the microphone to handle hahahaha

- oh good question - rbod , is it a mechanical fit like the oem or will it require a gasket ? i guess if it does i can just run to autozone and buy a universal exhaust gasket and cut it to match

I'm doing a writeup to accompany the downpipes with details on install (as we speak actually).

The downpipe flanges I'm receiving will have a mechanical gasket like the OEM joint is done. Personally I still installed a metal gasket, it's your option. Part #8642449, and will run $3.50 @ FCP.

haha ok sounds good cant wait to see pics of the first customer edition DP.

and yea a sound clip would be pretty cool to hear just open DP, but wont be anywhere remotely close to what my car will sound like haha

i'll have the first ever installed "Boder Downpipe" - and i'm proud to be the one - hahaha

how my car will sound - well , with the oem downpipe cutoff setup i have it sounds like ... well ... it kinda sounds like a turbo diesel airplane being eaten by a kodiak grizzly bear ... lmao ... so i can only imagine it will be close to the same , except in a different tone

i plane on adding a 3in 3out magnaflow and a few feet of 3" piping , it will still be catless and it will still dump out under the car

The down pipes are on hold for another month probably.

I have a good mock up, and materials to make about 2 more down pipes, but I want to get a test fit completed on a nearly stock S60 before I start shipping and selling to everybody. I don't want to sell something I can't back up basically.

Unfortunately all the people I've contacted to test fit have had hang-ups of some sort. In order to keep the price at $300 I'm having to delay the project until one of them can get back to me with a favorable update.

I'll update here when that happens!

alright sounds good. i probably won't be able to do this whole or-deal for another month or so anyways. are you still thinking of doing a group-buy sort of thing?
