So I've been trying to build a sleeper all along. IC is hidden behind the A/C condenser, stock body, but it had aftermarket wheels and a 3" pipe out the back before. And if you looked under the back, you could see it had full 3" exhaust. It wasn't terribly loud, but it wasn't exactly quiet. It was pretty loud in boost, or low speed high load driving.
Well, I finally found a set of factory 15's so it looked stock cept for the 3" exhaust.
So I put the stock muffler on. I cut up a factory header a while back to add a 3" collector to it and saved the 3" to 2" reducer. It came in handy.
Fluxcored...
Shit is damn near silent. I hear road noise now. And something in the front end makes a slight clunk when I tap the brakes. But idle, full boost, anything the exhaust is almost silent.
But it did kill the power in full boost. Probably went from 270whp to 220-230. Gonna turn up the boost to compensate. :yes:
But off boost, or low boost the power is the same as before.
Noteworthy, I borrowed a fluxcore to do this. Day after I bought a Miller 130 with two whips, two spools of wire, and a cart to roll it around on for 250. Bought a bottle of argon too so it's ready to go.
