ausubaru92 Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Overall power is increased, (i change back to 4th gear less often on hills) Much better low end,.. Yeah 1 & 3/4" equal length pipes from heads joined in a central collector with the volume of each pipe being 0.9ltr, then 2" from there on with a hotdog and Mercury Hi-flow muffler. Cataletic converter soon (don't wanna pay a $14000 fine) Welded myself with a total cost of less than $200 ($500 quoted price at exhaust shop) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik litchy Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 never heard of a Mercury muffler before. is it noisy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausubaru92 Posted April 30, 2005 Author Share Posted April 30, 2005 the Muffler and hotdog were both straight through, ie. i could see right through them. the muffler was $90 and the hot dog was $45 Without the hotdog it was noisy and raspy, with the hotdog it is nice, just a mellow gurgle,...

calebz Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 So does that mean you can sell these to those of us who don't know how to build our own? I'll bet shipping from Oz would kill any savings you would get over having it done locally. Look pretty good though:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subie94 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Cataletic converter soon (don't wanna pay a $14000 fine) i take it that's $140.00? (or $14,000. ) strict about emissions over there? or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 That looks very nice!!! i take it that's $140.00? (or $14,000. ) strict about emissions over there? or something The laws are strict here in the USA, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausubaru92 Posted May 1, 2005 Author Share Posted May 1, 2005 It would probaby be closer to $7K, i was told a story of a guy with a V8 who had twin exhausts with no cats, $14,000 Fine!!! I had the exhaust shop bend the pipes where i wanted when i bought the pipe and then i brought it home, I cut it to length and welded, it was realy quite simple. If you can get a hold of a piece of flex exhaust (shown in picture) it makes for any mistakes in your bends or welds. IT DID FOR ME:lol: I think im gonna go for a 2.5" Tip, it will lower the sound and make it look better in the gap in the bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most everyone is in the US not AU, so shipping would be horrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnsbrat Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Real nice job! Did you buy the 2 head pipes or bend them yourself ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausubaru92 Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 Yeah Australia is kinda too far to send and entire exhaust Yeah the exhaust shop bent the pipes where i needed it when i bought the lengths of pipe. I just cut to size and welded them up. BTW,... i still havent got around to adding the cat....... Ooops:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 BTW,... i still havent got around to adding the cat....... Ooops:rolleyes: That's what I like about my 89' brumby, never came with a cat, never needs a cat I don't even think my dad's 85 carbed wagon has a cat. Is that normal?
