What kind of exhaust sytems do you have on your cars?

I had a Supersprint on a BMW I used to own and loved it. IT was quite when just tooling around, did not drone in the cabin on the highway...but when you got on it...man did it sound great.


ANyone have any soundclips of exhausts?

I have the original style Ott crossover pipe with no cats...rest of it is stock. I get LOTS of comments on the sound.

Check the 928 Spec site (Link is in the ad at the top of the forum page). DR is offering a new crossover that is going to be very sweet.

Stock headers, Motorsport X sans cats, GT resonators and a RMB.

Sound may be somewhat loud for some; pure music to my ears.

MSDS headers, 3.5" Y-pipe, 3" pipe through 4x9 straight through Magnaflow. It sounds mean. The 3" and Magnaflow don't have the smooth low frequency rumble of the Ansa cat back system I took off, but it sounds better at high revs, revs easier, and has a lot more power.

81 - stock exhaust with no mufflers (just the CAT)
79 - MSDS headers, custom Y with a straight pipe after (track car)

I say mine sounds best esp over 4K but i would love to have all these unique exhausts do a foot to the floor run down a long hiway on-ramp. It would be awesome to stand there and listen!

Belongs to my cousin. I might buy one just like it - fits in the back of my track car. Should make a good pit bike.

Here's mine. Stock manifolds and mufflers. Only the catalytic converter has been replaced with an "X" pipe.

My 80S Eueo has stock manifolds, 2.25 inch pipes feeding into a dual inlet dual outlet MagnaFlow X path muffler and dual pipes 2.25" to the left rear quarter. No cats, the cer has never had them. The exhaust is much lighter than stock, and the sound is very nice. A pronounced burble at low RPM and above 3500 it is very aggressive. It really has freed up top end HP at the expense of some torque down low.

Nasty 928

My 82s has the test pipe from 928 specialists, 2.5" pipe to the rear muffler which is a 40 series flowmaster. To make the flowmaster work all you have to do is go to the local parts store and get a couple of hangers. The ohc motor sounds much nice then the bigger ohv usa built motors. People ask me alot "is that a 396 or 454 chevy in there?" I usually reply with "chevy builds motors?" or something sarcastic like that. I'm waitin for some mopar nut to ask" Does that thing gota hemi? "

From what JB was saying in one thread, some of us might have hemi's.

928SS

Custom Dual mandrel 3” system w/Devek L2 Headers (Jet Hot Coated) and X-Pipe, Random Technologies Bullet Cats, dual Bassani reasonators, and finally a 2in 2out Flowmaster hollow reasonator

pics on sharkpage.... sounds quite tame at idle/off throttle/cruise... nail it and it's an exotic whine that becomes a refined roar at WOT.... even passed smog!!!

Isn't hemi an engine where the combustion chamber is in form of hemisphere? Then it would make all of 928 engines a hemis, right?

No, early cars have wedge heads and 32V cars have pent heads. I think it's the pent (5-sided) heads that are close to being hemi. There are a lot of hemi engines out there. They just can't call them "Hemi" or Chrysler will sue them. The old 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 liter Toyotas are mostly hemi heads.
