Not a huge fan of the tip. Everything else looks good!

MrBrown · Mar 9, 2015

Yeah I feel you. I didn't like and still am not sure about the tip. It seemed to look better in my mind.
As for turn downs, your car is nice but it's not for me.

Might just throw another muffler where the tip is and run a short straight piece out. That is less work and still effective IMO. More comments and suggestions will be good. Thanks for commenting guys! Help me not look sound stupid lol.

Is it possible to post a video/sound clip of what it sounds like right now?

MrBrown · Mar 9, 2015

I have never posted a sound clip. I you tell me how. I will

Asphyxious · Mar 9, 2015

No idea how haha, someone care to enlighten mrbrown and I on how to do that?

MrBrown · Mar 9, 2015

So I played around doing some crap in Imovie and this is the only way I could figure it out. Im a noob with computers n stuff so here you go:

Click here to hear this GhettoFab exhaust

I think your exhaust is awesome looking. The longest bullet/glasspacks you can fit in the straight bits. It'll be quieter in idle and still just as loud/fun when you put your foot into it.

Man thats a lot better of a job than I did.

slow240 · Mar 10, 2015

yeah no lie, yours looks and sounds a lot better than mine.....

Just went throught the whole thread.

''you sir, win at car''.

Keep up the good work!

I personally like the sound of your exhaust as it is now.
As long as your interior and stuff isn't rattling ( like mine ) I would keep it.
Unless you're trying to go sleeper status and stay off the radar.

MrBrown · Mar 10, 2015

The sound clips does muffle it down. It is pretty loud and throaty.

MrBrown · Mar 10, 2015

So with my budget minded build, I have some more updates. I bought a ghetto Ebay catch can for cheap. Apparently there is no internal baffling in there so I looked round my garage and found some stuff that I could use to help. Also the fitting that came with it were really small and didn't seem like it would vent well so I used some plastic ones from Home Depot.

I took a piece of hose that I was going to use as my catch can lines but ended up being too large for the nipples, then I drilled some holes in it to vent. cut the end so that it had a perfect fit and then epoxied it into place.

Went under the sink and stole the wifes last scrubby pad thing and wrapped it around the hose.

Found a nice hide out for it and mounted it into place to see if I liked it there. It fit so i kept it.

Here is the final outcome of the catch can to include the lines . Also I updated that blue silicon hose to a nice -10AN line. win.

Well thats all for now and as always comments are welcome.

Thanks for viewing.

Giving me some inspiration for my exhaust. Was looking at the same can for a muffler...

Too loud tho?

Too loud by itself with full 3". Maybe another muffler along with it will help. Maybe I'm just getting old an it seems louder than it really is...

I too suffer from this disease.

Get 1 real muffler and your problems will be solved. As for where to mount it, I think captain planet said it best.... "the choice is yours!"

MrBrown · Mar 11, 2015

With our powers combined,..

Yeah I am looking for one just not sure. I am leaning towards a small billet style resonator to right where the cat used to be. Simple to put in too.

I'd say that is probably a good location, and since you will be reducing the noise from the exhaust closer to the source, cabin noise will be dramatically decreased.

Make sure you align the tip and have it exactly where you want it and held firmly in place before welding in anything new. Spent hours building an exhaust for a Prelude, only to have some dingbat at a muffler shop hack in a muffler and ruin the tip alignment.
