When I first installed the turbo kit I kinda rigged an exhaust on it. Spare pieces of 3in and a 40 series flowmaster muffler with the stock 2.75 inch tail pipe. It worked but rusted out and I thought was a bit loud especially since I installed a cutout for when I wanna make noise. Here are the pics of the old system. Notice all the clamps and hack welds lol Bottom of dp into Y Pipe and cutout [![http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r719/Choda_70mmZ71/8D4DF9DB-E3BA-4E56-A849-4CE0CDE81AF9-5698-00000650ABB1EA60_zpsddbdc99f.jpg](http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r719/Choda_70mmZ71/8D4DF9DB-E3BA-4E56-A849-4CE0CDE81AF9-5698-00000650ABB1EA60_zpsddbdc99f.jpg)](http://s1363.photobucket.com/user/Choda_70mmZ71/media/8D4DF9DB-E3BA-4E56-A849-4CE0CDE81AF9-5698-00000650ABB1EA60_zpsddbdc99f.jpg.html) After the cross member [![http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r719/Choda_70mmZ71/E3B91B3C-3EED-4319-ADC5-425D885C66C5-5698-00000650CC068016_zps75a8dbd7.jpg](http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r719/Choda_70mmZ71/E3B91B3C-3EED-4319-ADC5-425D885C66C5-5698-00000650CC068016_zps75a8dbd7.jpg)](http://s1363.photobucket.com/user/Choda_70mmZ71/media/E3B91B3C-3EED-4319-ADC5-425D885C66C5-5698-00000650CC068016_zps75a8dbd7.jpg.html) [![http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r719/Choda_70mmZ71/94F0B04A-0118-4FAF-A014-62AAB3386F84_zpsih4xdqrr.jpg](http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r719/Choda_70mmZ71/94F0B04A-0118-4FAF-A014-62AAB3386F84_zpsih4xdqrr.jpg)](http://s1363.photobucket.com/user/Choda_70mmZ71/media/94F0B04A-0118-4FAF-A014-62AAB3386F84_zpsih4xdqrr.jpg.html) Muffler [![http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r719/Choda_70mmZ71/D0B11D34-3035-43EE-A32D-04AB9A667D13-5698-00000650D84F15E8_zps4cf20db6.jpg](http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r719/Choda_70mmZ71/D0B11D34-3035-43EE-A32D-04AB9A667D13-5698-00000650D84F15E8_zps4cf20db6.jpg)](http://s1363.photobucket.com/user/Choda_70mmZ71/media/D0B11D34-3035-43EE-A32D-04AB9A667D13-5698-00000650D84F15E8_zps4cf20db6.jpg.html) Tail pipe [![http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r719/Choda_70mmZ71/036DC989-44F9-4C34-B627-C1F937CBFDD3-5698-00000650E2D8E930_zps423895bc.jpg](http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r719/Choda_70mmZ71/036DC989-44F9-4C34-B627-C1F937CBFDD3-5698-00000650E2D8E930_zps423895bc.jpg)](http://s1363.photobucket.com/user/Choda_70mmZ71/media/036DC989-44F9-4C34-B627-C1F937CBFDD3-5698-00000650E2D8E930_zps423895bc.jpg.html) [![http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r719/Choda_70mmZ71/BBAE879C-74BB-47EB-B8D7-EDFB0199DE49_zpsnj6etdz0.jpg](http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r719/Choda_70mmZ71/BBAE879C-74BB-47EB-B8D7-EDFB0199DE49_zpsnj6etdz0.jpg)](http://s1363.photobucket.com/user/Choda_70mmZ71/media/BBAE879C-74BB-47EB-B8D7-EDFB0199DE49_zpsnj6etdz0.jpg.html) Now time for my real exhaust.

It could just be me but it might be a tiny bit more quiet and it flows more because I’m seeing 1 more psi of boost compared to my previous set up. Pipe 4inch over the axle and tail pipe for the ricer in me and those the car guys that see it and get that WTF feeling seeing it hanging there. :tup: to John for the great price, the amazing quality and crazy turn around time from start to finish. ---

I don’t know shit about exhaust design but I used to have a Magnaflow resonator on my Sentra to get rid of the rasp. It was straight through design, the inside was perforated with some sort of steel wool/metal packing between the perforation and the outside structure.

My exhaust on my evo had a TERRIBLE drone/honda civic buzzing bee’s noise and i had gary weld on a Vibrant resonator and that specific noise went away completely. however it did not lower the actual sound of the exhaust while idling or driving and especially not WOT lol. if it did, it was barely and i cannot notice it. you can try a longer resonator probably right before the muffler with just a few inches in between ---

Anything above 3.5k rpm car sounds like a prop plane taking off 🙂
