custom 3\" turbo back

someone on the boards sent me pictures a while back of thier custom setup they had welded and i finally have the funds together to do the same thing... problem is the pictures i receieved have dead links now and i never saved them
so if you have pictures of your exhuast off the car or atleast can tell me how many of each bend to get and which type of pipe to get i would really appreciate it

Re: custom 3\" turbo back

Can you answer this time?
Re: custom 3\" turbo back

sorry frush gets a little bit excited sometimes... he is just a kid... guess i will just use the old exhuast as a template and go from there... if anyone has any recommendations for mufflers i could use that too

Just find a reputable muffler shop in your area and tell them what you want to do. I'd recommend some kind of straight-thru muffler and maybe a resonator or two.

Re: custom 3\" turbo back

exactly what i wanted


nice work... which muffler did you use? and do you have any sound clips?

it doesnt look like that is for a focus... section that goes over the steering column... or did you figure out a way to not need a bend

as for the trubendz... they seem a bit over priced for what is needed to be done after you purchase the kit... other people on the board that have it have talked about the need to go to a muffler shop to have them cut sections of the exhuast...

very nice exhuast though

Steve7786,
Can you post a pic of that installed!
It really doesn't look like it will work for a Focus.

yeah, it seems like that bend before the muffler should be the opposite way? and where is teh bends over the first axle?

heres 3 inch turbo back on an SVT. The piece goin over the rear axle is not pictured ,but you get the idea.

which muffler is that? i see in your sig that its "turbo muffler" but is that some random brand or just a name you gave it?... do you by chance have any audio clips of it??


thanks

Re: custom 3\" turbo back

its just a dynomax 3 inch turbo muffler. Ive since added a Magnaflow round muffler on the straight section to quiet it down. Id say 3 inch magnaflow on the straight section, and a magnaflow near the rear axle would be the way to go. Ill be doing that soon.

btw, you can find the round 3 inch magnaflows on ebay(i think 20something inches long) for like 60 or 70 bucks. Money well spent.
Re: custom 3\" turbo back

how big is the second muffler? im trying to build one on ebay right now and they have different body sizes

is there such a thing as too many mufflers? do they hurt performance any or just reduce the sound?
Re: custom 3\" turbo back

Mufflers are for sissys.

Go with a 3" side dump. A local exhaust shop won't charge you more than $300.

The exhaust is upsidedown, that's why the hangers are holding it up.

I agree a 3" side dump is cool but I believe mufflers are for people who have street cars and drive them to work everyday. Here is my 3" side dump, I'm hoping that big ass muffler I put in keeps things somewhat liveable day in and day out.
