cm3rc · 12-14-2006, 01:40 PM

ok... as for all of you know there has been a lot of questions about 2.5" 3" piping. well yesterday afternoon i went over to a local muffler shop and got 3' piping done. the only thing i deleted was this as in the picture shown..

and this morning i decided to make a video of the piping.. its not very good quality.. and i need to jack up the car cuz i want to show you how they custom made it. its pritty cool

upclose shot of the muffler in action. i know video's dont tell much but when its heard in person it sounds awsome.

i got a pritty good deal. like he offered me $155 then i pulled out my wallet and showed him $120. and i was like "thats all i got..cash

" so he let me have it for $120. very nice mechanic btw :rocks:

i posted this in my other thread.

umm? why would you need custom 3" piping arent the 325's NA? for NA cars i know you need smaller piping for backpressure and torque. Your probably losing power. Usually turbo cars need the bigger exhausts due to the volume of air and pressure being forced out from the turbo.

Yea buddy, you are probably loosing torque... I wouldn't wanna pay $120 just to loose power and be a little bit louder.
