A loud exhaust isnt a nice exhaust. My s10 sounded so fucking mean when the power was down, but driving it at 40 - 50 mph, was unbearable at best, the super I’m going to get a ticket just wait drone, was rough. Bet the magnaflow will sound awesome on this cougar ---

Thank you. Also to be clear I hope to have this car be a great DRIVER not any type of race car. This is why it has IRS and will run a full interior. So I built a turbo setup since they are quieter and allow me to run a MUCH smaller camshaft to match the setup. I am hoping for it to idle pretty smooth and have a nice growl for sure(its still a 418ci motor with 4"exhaust). I hope to be able to easily listen to music and converse with my passenger at highway speeds…However when I step on it I am sure it will sound like the apocalypse. Huge motor, huge turbo, open dump wg,4". So when I say quiet I just mean nice smooth idle and hopefully not too loud under normal driving. ---

that open dump wastegate will be pretty loud, and it’s usually pretty hard to keep the BOV quiet even if you’re driving pretty slow. That’s all I am saying. Definitely will be better than a lumpy cam car, considerably. I don’t blame you for putting a muffler on, just giving you are hard time. It’s nyspeed, we’re allowed to fuck with each other. no? I don’t know why you have to come off as such a dick, even if I do say something that’s wrong. Instead of saying “just stop talking”, you could have explained it. I wasn’t trying to be rude to you, so I don’t think you need to be rude to me. ---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ---------- > [@ieatpaint](#): > > lol @ comparing “modded turbo cars” to this thing. turbo system works the same, no? albeit a larger setup, I cannot see how the characteristics would be all that different. If you’re gonna make me look like an idiot, at least explain it ---

Along the ideas of the hyrdodipping is powdercoated “image tattoos” - essentially a “printed” layer of powdercoat is put over the metal and then baked - the image transfers, looking painted, but it’s powdercoat [http://www.ultimatefinishersinc.com/custom\_powder\_coat\_\_image\_tattoo\_pics](http://www.ultimatefinishersinc.com/custom_powder_coat__image_tattoo_pics) You can do 'em (relatively) local, they’re out of Newark, NY. Haven’t seen progress on this lately - man, I hope you bring this thing out my way one of these days this summer, although you’ll probably need stock in Exxon to fuel it, ha! Looks dead serious now :tspry: ---

Usually I see one of those flex pipes incorporated into the crossover. Is that like a mass manufacturing thing to insure alignment vs custom fit kit so you don’t need one?
