anyone have a custom exhaust made?

[makaveli42]

i know this has been brought up many times before but i tried searching and the search only works with one word for me lol...if i type in custom exhaust it finds "custom" then "exhaust" not the two together...


but anywho, a friend of mines dad is a backyard mechanic and has a lift and does custom exhausts. he said he can get rid of the rear cats and resonators and keep the muffles on...

has anyone else done this? i really want no cat DPs too but cant find myself to pay the $2k for them.

my viper tune had the rear o2 deleted anyways...so that wont be an issue.

thanks in advance.

There are several on here that have custom built exhausts (Eric - his username escapes me at the moment, Hy Octane has straight pipes, the guy with the Blue RS6 in Florida - Fonzie Audi - but sold it in a crazy thread)
Just to name a few..

I'm considering doing a custom pipe, so that the rear mufflers are deleted. I'd like to do it in a motorcycle slip-on style, so that I can easily swap the stock mufflers back in by just unclamping the pipe.

The catalytic converters are in the downpipes, and are rather difficult to get to.

I had mine done at USP in Coral Springs Fla, I might be the Blue RS6 in Fla :). Here is a link to the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv9wEMiLku8 It was well worth it. Let me know if you need more info.

It's not tough to get at the main cats with the car on a lift. Pat did his rather quickly IIRC. I have been planning on cutting mine out and clamping in straight pipes in place of the main cats. V-banding them in so I can swap back and forth.

Did you notice an increase in power? How much was the change from USP? I am up in Orlando, might be thinking about doing the same.

Usp quoted me 3700-ish when I called for full turbo back, installed.

Biggest difference is removing the cats, will get you 20hp or so when tuned, and quicker spool...

I have a completely custom setup on mine. All i have are stock piggy pipes and main cats all the rest is stainless 2.5" dual pipes to my porsche 911 turbo exhaust tips. The guy that did my exhaust must be one of the best welders ive ever seen in person. His work is incredible. He builds all custom setups for a shop called ams autoworks but he does work out of his own shop. i can have him jig mine up for fitment and send it to you somehow someway if you or anyone else is interested.

How about a video? Whats the cost for your guy to build another?

I have homemade fully catless DP's with the rest of the exhaust being the stock SE exhaust. Sounds great and picked up some power too. I picked up even more with the manual swap.

[makaveli42]

I started this one and never replied to it lol.

But I got a homemade custom exhaust done near Chicago, straight piped from ur turbos back, no cat, no muffler, no nothing! Not as loud as you would think unless you mash it. Still manageable for a daily driver for me

No issues with emissions testing?

Im not sure how to upload to this site but i will be more than happy to send you a video or as many as you would like by email.

[lswing]

I've heard of a new site, YouTube I think the kids call it...sorry, couldn't resist...

Just got my letter the other day. We think it will pass, but not sure about the "visual". Probably put my stock DP's back on to get tested. Might leave them on as I am going to sell it now, we'll see.

Hey,

Yep! Sure did had custom exhaust down pipes all the way to the tips, 3" mandrel bent entire way with x-pipe and dual mufflers/resonators which provides a nice respectable rumble at idle but V8 super car when WOT.
