Just wanted to make a thread for people to share their custom exhaust setups.
I originally deleted my resonator and welded on a Megans Racing MDT muffler which has been great for the past year or so. But I caught glimpse of the new Greddy DD-R exhaust and fell in love with it.... Minus the $700+ price tag. So since my profession is welding and metal fabrication I said screw it I'll attempt to make a similar cheaper setup. I went ahead and ordered a few things:
-Flowmaster FX muffler $40
-Vibrant U/J bent tubing $42
-2) 2.5"- 4" tips $50
(Definitely changing the angle on the tips btw. 45° is way to much of an angle lol)
I'll be starting this next week and into next weekend so I'll update it then!
*UPDATE 4-28-20*
I finished fabing and welding everything at work today. Unfortunately I dont have the equipment I'd like at this job but none the less I achieved the look I was aiming for! I was going to powder coat it but after talking to the powder coat guy at work, I determined it'll be best to paint it with exhaust paint instead. I'll be welding this on and the Flowmaster muffler hopefully this coming weekend. I'll make a video then aswell.
UPDATE: 5/3/20
I welded everything up today on our lift and pulled it back off and painted it to protect it from rusting. First off it's exactly what I wanted look wise! It is unfortunately a little louder than I was hoping for. Not unbearable tho. It does have a slight drone in 6th gear around 2000-2300 rpm. I'm happy with it overall!
