i am putting the engine back in my turbo after a year of sitting. well, the old exhaust was burnt due to extreme rich conditions and exhaust flames=) i need a new axhaust and the SFR looks like the one, but i hope it is not to loud. can anyone attest to it not being loud ?(like, at highway speeds, will it overpower my radio like my VW does?)

if it has a powerful sound to it, i could compromise some volume...

i would really love a recording if anyone has one...

thanks all!

Yes it will be loud.

Any 3" exhaust will be loud condsidering that it's equipped with a straight through muffler.

This is especially so if you're going all the way to the turbo with a 3" pipe.

The area of a 3" pipe is much larger than the factory 2 1/2" setup.

I have a complete SFR 3" to the turbo setup with (3) Borla XR-1 Stainless Race Mufflers (all straight through). It sounds awesome. Very deep & serious sounding. Still louder than stock, just not raspy.

You've got mail...

i just added you to my address book. had the max security on so that might have stopped it from sending to me. should work now.

dmoffitt

Kevin,

There's a review on P-Caronline that I wrote. Check it out <a href="http://p-caronline.com/directory/indexf.html" target="_blank">here</a>

Click on product reviews and then SFR catback. I still stand by my word that it's not too loud. My V-Twin sportbike without a muffler...now that's LOUD!

Ok,,,Kevin it came back again. It is a .wmv, video sound clip. It is 1.59mb so hotmail may not take it.
dmoffitt, cc'd you on the file, let me know. If anyone can host this file for other to view, email me and I'll send it out. dmoffitt,,did you find an engine wiring harness yet? I may have an older spare in a week for free if you need it..let me know.

A rennlister, Sean Bartsch, posted links of videos of his new SFR exhaust awhile back, so do some searching it was either this board or the 944 one. "Blue S2" also posted a byte of the exhaust on his s2.

if you could, could you try e-mailing to kevin.dubois@hope.edu instead. hotmail as it appears doesn't work. that would be great.

thanks Ski!

Ski

check it to see if it made it.....

sean bartsch

Yeah, i posted some videos a while back....but those where uploaded to a friends site that crashed and he didnt have a backup....and i didnt feel like uploading them again. I will try to make another video this weekend with my new digital camcorder if i can figure out how to get it onto a computer. The SFR exhaust is sweet though.

Sean, if you have a white car, almost hurt the dogs hearing ( ), a touch of black smoke, and used the key chain as your "g-meter"..I've got that video saved.

sean bartsch

thats me.....but with the help of a link tuning module i have almost fixed that black smoke
