My new 3" single (Updated with videos)
Love it or hate it, I don't really give a $hit but I had this made last week.
I really wanted to buy that 11lb no name Ti one that is for sale on here but being that I'm a poor *** college student... I couldn't afford it.
So I had something made that would somewhat resemble it, and it turned out about as perfect as I couldn't hoped for. Might change out the tip...not really sure yet because I think it looks great as it is. Oh and I think I'm going to do a bumper tuck. I did just buy a set of test pipes, not really sure if they will ruin the awesome sound of this or not.
Took the pictures of the 11lb no name Ti to a recommended exhaust shop around town and ordered the muffler I would be using. I decided to go with a Dynatech Split-flow race muffler. They claim a reduction in dB by about 6-8 dB.
and the final product.
I do not have a video camera but I'll try to get some clips this week.
The car feels quicker up top and there is no noticeable loss down low. As far as sound...It's not as loud as I thought it would have been. Very very deep tone with no rasp whatsoever. It can be loud under full throttle and high rpm but it was not annoying driving on the highway or around town.
Big thanks to Marty at Marty's Muffler in Daytona Beach. Great welds/craftsmanship and just an all around friendly shop owner.
UPDATE: VIDEO TIME!

Kudos for design of ur exhaust. I cant believe thats not ear bleeding loud. Maybe its bc of ur stock cats and y pipe. But PLEASE get some sound clips up ASAP. Vid for WIN consist of- Start up/ Rev. Then a WOT and not letting off when u pass the camera

Oh you know I diddnt even think about removing the heat shield...great idea. Tried searching but I pretty much have no choice but to drill the bumper to tuck it right? Ill put the APS test pipes on sometime this week.

Nothing I hate more than a bad quality exhaust vid. I'm gonna go price some sd cams today and then you will have inside/outside vids both with tripod and my 3 suction cam mount lol
