Default Front mount turbo guys post pics of downpipe/exhaust.

Post pics of where you have it running and what diameter pipe. I need some ideas.


I am looking at maybe doing something custom like bring the downpipe pipe out by the starter to a quiet catback with an electric cutout merged in the downpipe before it crosses the K member and have that go out the passenger side front bumper. (open pipe)

I have a 3in downpipe thats routed from the drivers side into a DMH cutout and then into my magnaflow 3in catback. I love this setup and it's so stinking quiet that I can drive with ttops off and windows down and can have a conversation without having to speak up.

Will.... I love your setup. The LAAAaaaast thing you need is to do something with the valve covers. Constructive criticism.

I like constructive criticism. I thought about it, but couldn't find any TA or WS6 valve covers that sealed good. Truth be told I didn't look that hard either, but if there is something that is the bees knees to set it off I would consider it.

Thanks guys for the nice words. To keep it on topic of dp, cutout and catback, I'll post a video of how it sounds with it open and closed. I love it quiet

I'll have to hook up HPT and do some logs to see what my IAT's look like, but my pipes are swaintech coated and wrapped which helps immensely to cut down under hood temps

I agree i really like that setup Willizm. My exhaust comes out the passenger side so it is a little tighter due to the starter bit essentially thats exactly what i want. I was just thinking to use the front bumper for a short dump with my cutout.

I just had my cutout with a quick turndown. It works great and is one of my favorite features of my car. On a side note everyone that I take for a ride has the same "wow" impression when I get done doing a pull and close the cutout. I get alot of compliments on how quiet the little beasty can be with a flick of a switch. My girlfriend appreciates it alot and I like keeping it closed when in my neihborhood. My brother in law by trade is a pipe fitter so he "got all sorts of pipefitter" on my exhaust. It fits perfectly and his welds are great. I'd definitly recommend going the extra step of connecting a catback with a cutout. The only compromise is having to hit a button if you want a little less backpressure.

William- your car sounds perfect. Best of both worlds. I am doing a 3" electric cut out and my cat back exhaust is a slp 2otl.
