JK.......Just wanted to share my Vanguard exhaust pics with you guys!!

I must say that it's louder than I anticipated. All the sound clip on youtube does not do it justice. You've GOT TO hear it in person if you haven't already.......

I know that the left side is about 2-3mm lower than the right but I'm not sure how to fix that. We've tried to adjust the left side a few times, but no luck. Anyway, I still like it though.

On with the pics!!

I kid I love my Vanguard exhaust!

cstmx_ryder · 02-02-2011, 06:05 PM

Lol......at first I thought you were serious....

So you have the same setup? Did your left muffler sit a tad mm lower than the right?

cstmx_ryder · 02-02-2011, 06:07 PM

Thanks Sean @ PYSpeed again!!

It's a little louder than I anticipated.....but not in a bad way. Although there's always a little drone with the ATs but it's bearable.

Definitely sounds throatier and gives that extra burpple at the end when down shifting.....lol

Me like!

Looks really good.

cstmx_ryder · 02-02-2011, 06:25 PM

It drones at around 23-24k rpm, just step on it a little more to get out of the "drone zone". It's kinda expected with all AT cars, no?

Sounds bad ass.....IMO

YouTube clips doesn't do it justice.

You may be able to loosen the actual rubber hanger bolts/nuts, push up on the exhaust a bit and tighten. Done that in the past on another car, it gave a little bit more to level it out.

cstmx_ryder · 02-02-2011, 07:26 PM

ya, I know what you mean.....I thought the rubber hanger was a slip on joint on both ends? Or is there a bolt/screw that stabilizes the piece that the rubber hanger slips into on the body of the car?

cstmx_ryder · 02-02-2011, 07:30 PM

So I just came back from a drive and noticed that the boost fluctuates a little more with the catless exhaust. Meaning, I feel a bit of a boost surge when getting into the throttle from cruising at low speeds, then it just takes off......That's just from my butt dyno. Has anyone else think they encountered that with catless exhausts?

It will adapt and that will go away

^^ K, thanks

Typically, isn't there a break-in period with exhausts or no?
