WJM Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 So the RX has NO back seat, NO mufflering device on it at all...and all kinds of other compromises so that basically its a race car thats barely street legal... No more. Its just TOOOOOOO loud...that and I live in one of those apartment complexes...so, its time to quieten it down and return some of its original stuff to it. Back seat and cargo area stuff is going back in it saturday, the taller rear springs are going back on it for rear ground clearance. Im going to fix allthe crap on it that doest work too...maybe take time out to make the keyless stuff work too. Also...im going to slap that 2 inch catback w/glass pack I have laying around that came on the car when I got it. Yes, 2 inches...thats less than the 2.5 thats on it now. Its got more than enough flow for the stuff im doing anyhow...PLUS...the turbo housing is ONLY 1 5/8th inch anyhow...so...yeah. Going to swap one of the badly worn tires over on it today...and change the oil from 5k mile old mobil 10w-30 to Motul 5w30 8100 synthetic...and ofcourse an OE filter. What else...yeah, it will be much more civilized too. I think I'll also pick up all my autox stuff from my other house as well...tires, jacks, decals, chairs, etc....autox season is started and I've already going to be missing SEVERAL events. I'll hit the dyno again with this 'new' exhaust and see what kind of loses you all can expect from having the TWE stuff on there, but with the stock'ish 2 inch 'cat back'...no cats in this, but it will be welded on starting almost where the second cat is supposed to be... that is al...for now.

JWX Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 you'll be back, and I didn't think it was too loud now your wagon that was too loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanky_pete Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Thankfully I live in the middle of nowhere, no one cares that I'm driving my wagon around an exhaust that ends at the downpipe. I concur though, you'll miss it once you put all that stuff back in. Your butt dyno will be constantly telling you something is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 Well....its LOUDER than the wagon right now...and after driving a legact wagon that was deathly quiet...i want some quietness back in the car...that and since its going to end up being the daily driver for the rest of the year, and I technically cannot afford the air I breathe. So....3 way cat that I have is going on it, along with that pea shooter looking cat back i have....and the rear set stuff so it will be more quiet and more ppl friendly....as it does need to be.

I'm expecting a gain since your setup was poorly put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
