The huntington beach meet is INSANE. I'd love to go to one of those.... some of the finest cars on the board no doubt.

 

You should think about add x-pipe with APS. I had little drone when i had HFC and APS, but after X-pipe it sounds pretty good. i heard metallic ones are louder than ceramic ones. ( which i had metallic HFC ) i'm not sure tho. Well, don't go TP if your dad is going to drive around. It's not loud that bad for me, but i don't think your dad will enjoy it.

I can take a video if you want.

 

Well, I kind of have an x-pipe, here is a pic of the exhaust, it's been modified.

 

^ that's pretty much similar with greddy one setup. Let me find a picture how mine done...give me a second.

Edit: Well, pictures from sentry65's APS, mine is done same as his.

Do either of your resonators hit the cover over the drive shaft? Or do you even have that?

 

Yea, still have resonators. No, its not hitting at all. But when i installed them at first, one pipe was rubbing rear stock sway bar. Do you have an aftermarket sway bar? if do, what kind?

Btw, nice cute dog

 

That's a full APS 2.5 Catback?

What do the tips/muffler look like?

Craigslist FTW!

 

This is how APS 2.5 TD looks like. Just two pipe stright out and muffler looks like stock.

 

I have the GTspec rear tie bar on now, the passenger side pipe rests on that, as well as hits the resonator. I'll go take some pics for clarification.

Q, It's basically the y-pipe back version, which doesn't exist, because this was modified for the FX, an AWD one at that so it needed a specific y-pipe. I have a pic of the whole thing, after I spent a couple hours polishing it all

 

Oh Ok. Now i see diff with mine! Have you try play with hanger?

 

Here's the pics of the problem areas. I still have to see if the my other GTspec will fit, but I think it will. I may get it up on jack stands sometime soon and see if I can't bang the cover in that the resonator is hitting.

 

Well, i got this from sentry again, since i have a STOCK!! FTL!! lol

 

So you are talking about resonators is hitting M- braces?

 

No they hit that big *** metal shield. You can even see in the pic where it's deformed and touching. Looks like sentry removed his.

 

Now i see. I didn't have that on mine. It looks like just a heat shield, i think you can remove it.

Edit: just went outside double checked, no sheid

 

If I can get to those bolts, I'll remove it, and see if I can't reform it to fit better. Maybe that's what causes my rattling just under 3k rpm, although it feels like it's right under my feet.

 

Since yours is FX, it made me little confused.

Here is under the another Z

Im sure that cause a rattle, even looking at thhe your picture, resonator is right up touch the shield. Looks like you can get them off easily.

 

Yeah, that's an added piece. The last owner had the small "reverse y-pipe" flipped around, so he hit the w-brace, while I hit the metal shield. I will probably take it off and see if that fixes the vibration I feel. It's just that the vibration is up front, unless it just resonates along the pipe.

 

Does it rattle at idle too?

 

Nope, it's completely normal except right at about 2900 RPM, and it only does it sometimes. Like in my video, it doesn't do anything when I pass through under hard acceleration. But like if I'm in a high gear and only going 40, and floor it, it hits in that RPM range and makes the noise.
