Bosal Install - Pics, Video, Sound clips

zx3chris · Jul 21, 2002

Ok so the Bosal is on, and I love it. The sound is great, a nice low tone, not raspy or ricey at all. The sound is noticeable in low rpms, and when shifting through the gears. On the highway, @70mph 3k rpms with the windows down, you hear a very very slight drone. Roll up the windows and its gone. This exhaust is definitely for those who want some sound, but stil want a car that wont be annoying on long trips. As far as performance, I noticed an increase in acceleration, nothing amazing, but it's definitely there. Here are a few pix, i have many more, in full size. I will also link to a sound clip of the exhaust for those who are curious and i have a video of the full install if anyone is interested. The install took about 30minutes, on a lift.

It hangs a little low on the car, so i zip tied it up, which pulled it a little to the right.. so now i need to adjust it to the left.. Its already been adjusted, just not in this pic.

And here is a 2meg Video of the exhaust sound.

Thats some great info ya got there! I know I appreciate it!

It is one BEAUTIFUL system - Thats for sure, the sound is also very very deep and fits the car very well

Why did the vid cut off when you were about the Rev to 6K? Thats what I wanted to hear -

hehe

If you have time could you post pics of how it now looks with the Zip Ties in place and a few shots showing how you Zip Tied it

Thanks!

Beautiful finish on your exhaust. Sounds good too.

Chris please don't tell me you paid someone to install your exhaust. Looks good, hope to see more of your car at our G2G's and dyno days.

You have a PM also.

Isn't it nice to have friends with access to lifts!

It's how I've done all my mods!

Is that the Cat Back system? and where did you get it?

Nice job, I want one!

Did you get the old exhaust out in one piece, or is that just the way the photo angle makes it look? I thought the exhaust had to be cut out (or most of the rear suspension taken apart)...

Guest · Jul 22, 2002

Man that sounds nice. I'm sold. On the install, is there a way to adjust the system so it doesn't hang so low? I could live with it but with my drop I would prefer the final resonator to rest a little higher.

Thanks for the post, BTW. Solid info, pics, sound byte. Well done.

Who can argue w/ the best??

The rear tip can be raised w/ zip-ties if you'd like it to sit higher.
The only way to get the factory system off w/o cutting is to take apart the rear suspension.

zx3chris · Jul 22, 2002

Yes, the factory exhaust was cut, near the end resonator. In these pics, it sits low, but i raised it usign zip ties.. i will post pix of how it looks now and where the ties are when i get a chance..
