Thanks to the wonders of iMovie, here's a back to back comparison of my stock 2.5" exhaust with the stock cat & a Magnaflow muffler vs. my new Lindsey 3" exhaust with Sport Cat.

Enjoy!

3" ftw

Hopefully I will have video of my 4 inch exhaust and tubing soon...

Anyway Greg, did I just notice that you have a euro-style front plate that is valid? We have to have a front plate in this state and I noticed your front has the same characters as the back and didn't see another one wedged up in the dash or anything, but I didn't we could choose euro-style plates as an option in Colorado. I have to get plates here in the next week or two, I might look into that.

I put a Magnaflow 2-wall oval tip on the 3" exhaust and it mellowed out the sound a bit. The tip was actually a mini muffler and it just sort of took the hard edges off the exhaust note. I was happier with it after that.

hevquip: Sorry man, that plate is something I made. It is my real plate number but it's not 'legal' nor can you buy it from the state, unfortunately.

I've only been hassled about it once in 6 years or so and that was on the way to High Plains Raceway for a DE. The State Trooper pulled over 5 or 6 people that morning on the way to the track, most of them for not having a front plate at all. He just gave me a warning, I didn't even point out they were my real numbers. Pretty obvious that he was just using it as an excuse to pull me over to look for expired tags, no insurance, etc.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I was actually looking at the DMV site last night and they didn't have any euro-plates, so I thought maybe it was a special option. That's cool you don't get **** for lack of a front plate ever, I parked my sister's Bug on the street in Boulder and they ticketed me because her front plate wasn't "mounted" and was just sitting up on her dash, probably just a way for the county to make money. I will see how long I can go for down here in Littleton and the surrounding Denver area without a front plate, though I speculate the cops down here are a little more observant and persecutory.

The consensus seems to be that the Meter Police are much more likely to ticket you than the real deal. Makes sense, it's easy pickings for the meter readers and a revenue stream but not worth the time of the guys with the guns.

Don't bother parking the car in Cherry Creek, Southmoor or downtown Denver without a front plate, that's an instant ticket.

Much to my dismay a parking enforcement officer started patrolling the street my office is on (a small side street) with regularity, which forced me to put a front plate on all my cars. After I got a few tickets for no front plate I didn't have a choice...

Up in Loveland where Greg lives (and where I used to live) I never ran a front plate and never got hassled about it.

Borla sounds better

Any power difference?

It's a K27/6 and so back pressure is a concern at 15psi, my butt dyno says that the turbo spools faster and more easily. The car just seems happier on boost. Highly technical description I know, lol.

gregeast

I bought this system used so didn't have a choice on Borla vs. Magnaflow, got a sound clip you can post, I'm all ears

glad you like the exhaust.

Anyone ever use an Edelbrock muffler on a 3" exhaust?
