Re: headers
a pair of these cost $200 in materials and machine shop time.
plus about 5 hrs of my time so far.....
of course they wont fit a sy or ty... but the concept still works.

Re: headers
In terms of noise turbo's aren't like a N/A V8 when you add headers.
It will never sound like a Supra. FIrst a Supra is straight 6. Firing order, the exhaust port layout and flow play a big roll in how an engine sounds. That is why 302/351W Fords don't sound like 305/327/350 Chevys...

Re: headers
well for now im all stock. to my understanding any boosted car will see much improvement with a good exaust and intake. and turbo cars really see gains from exaust. am i right??

Re: headers
there seems to be a lot of comments that headers sound better...
if you only change from exhaust manifolds to tubular headers... all else
remaining the same... the only sound difference is whatever migrates
through the walls of the tubing. On my homemade manifolds the material
is almost as thick as the stockers, through passages, and seem just as
quiet.

Re: headers
just an opening at the end of your downpipe so you bypass the cat and muffler if you have one. most aftermarket downpipes have them.
I don't know how to make the image any bigger but its the "cut out" on the left hand side of the far right pipe.

Re: headers
Like I said in post #16 of this horrible thread.. go with a exhuast cutout or also known as a dump tube
http://search.ebay.com/exhaust-cuto...tQQsacatZQ2d1QQsaprchiZQQsaprcloZQQsofocusZbs
and on that 5" exhuast idea... that is extremely tacky and most likely won't look good on a ty in my opinion plus will add more weight for no additional hp gains.

Re: headers
OK.....this is the exact mufler that i am planning on putting on my typhoon. Mine will sound similar to the 350Z but alot deeper (i know this because a kid around town has one on his 4.3 S-Dime).

as far as the dump tube goes.....i dont understand why to even run exaust if i have one. If there is a dump tube right after the turbo then no exaust will even go threw the exaust.

Re: headers
You can open or close the dump tube, it doesn't have to be open all the time. Only when you want it open.. Did you even look at the link I posted?
I'll briefly explain better, a dump tube is a small section of pipe which is in the shape of a "Y" that you have any muffler shop install either before or after your cat to increase turbo spool noise (whisling sound), gain quicker spool up, some have even gained a pound or two of boost in the quarter due to no restrictions and in your case save you weight when compared to installing a huge diameter exhaust system or a dual setup.
