Wheres the best place to get and exhaust???

YELLOW_MR2 · 07-01-2009, 01:14 AM

Looking for a good website to get an exhaust, have been looking around. Found a couple berk for 500 dollars. I just want to see if theres more or better ones, any recomendations?? Got a 500 dollar budget on that because I still have to have a down pipe made so yea... Also does it matter if its an N/A or turbo exhuast.. Mine is a 91 turbo N/A.

Thanks

the berk only fits the turbo cars.

YELLOW_MR2 · 07-01-2009, 01:38 AM

Theres a difference?? What are the differences??

Make it yourself, go to a pipe shop and buy a flowing but cheap resonator and some mandrel bends according to a stupid little drawing of what you want and then make hangers out of some small solid pipe steel and your done. Sure it takes a little more effort but it sounds so cool and normally looks the shiz

Here is my $100 header back setup

Still love it as much as the day I built it.

just my 2 cents.

The 5sfe headers terminate in a very different spot compared to the 3sgte downpipe. They also use completey different flanges. The turbo exhaust will not bolt up to a 5sfe without lots of cutting and welding and a new flange

I wanted the one off your site, but I read your post. Now I want this one

YELLOW_MR2 · 07-01-2009, 03:06 AM

The thing is when I get the down pipe made it will be made the same time the exhuast will be put on so they can just make it work

masagsxr · 07-01-2009, 03:09 AM

Is that the one from SSAutochrome or something? I got that one and didn't expect the tip to look big but it really is. I tried checking lot of pictures before buying it. They all didn't look that big. Its a lot bigger in person than it looks in person. The tip is like 4"

Daym... to many big words there LoL....

YELLOW_MR2 · 07-01-2009, 03:14 AM

LOL no they are not SSAuto chrome just regular no brand exhaust but it looks sick, and i want it. It's just so dam expensive thats why i ask for great sites to get cheaper ones but still good and dual tip.

the tips do look big they are 4 inches

masagsxr · 07-01-2009, 03:31 AM

Well, they are very identical to it. I like the style so I got the SSAutochrome ones on ebay and did hope that the tip wasn't that big after I put them on and see it on the car. Got lots of compliment on how it sounded. Only thing I really did not like was that the tip looked too big and it stood out when you get close to the car. It looks sweet about 20ft away and when you get closer and closer it looks as if the tip is going to suck you in hehehehehehe

328FTW · 07-01-2009, 05:03 AM

Mine are 3" angle cut and they don't look stupid big or small. Too small and they look kinda weird and too big and it looks like you are trailing 2 confederate cannons

. If you find a close to perfect setup you can cut and reweld the tips to make it better. There are cheap tips everywhere online, mine were $10 a pop and they are polished stainless.

How far it sticks out the back makes a difference to how big it looks and if its round tip or oval.

That one won't fit the 5sfe the way it is. You'll have to get a muffler shop to make you a custom b-pipe.

Yeah that won't be a problem, The performance shop thats going to make the down pipe can do that to make them work. I wanted the ones your selling... If the performance shop can make them fit, do you recomend I go berk? Instead of these ebay ones??

masagsxr · 07-01-2009, 03:19 PM

Again... got mine on fleebay.... there is a link there to their website. I believe they have some video clips too on how they sound

Turbo Kits, Turbo Manifolds, Import Performance Products, SSAutochrome Inc.

Paid like $275 shipped

But then again, I did kinda had a custom b-pipe made. I wanted to hide the mufflers a bit so I had the muffler shop cut and re-pipe them. I paid an additional $200 for this work with brand new cat

YELLOW_MR2 · 07-01-2009, 03:23 PM

Thanks, I'll check them out right now and see which way I go. Berk is what gots my attention right now.. What would you recomend. You got a pic with them on??

masagsxr · 07-01-2009, 03:52 PM

If I were to do it again, I'd probably go custom like how a friend of mine did it. I believe his came off camaro then changed the tip.

countyboy3188 · 07-01-2009, 05:08 PM

actually the ems exhaust is really nice and sounds great i have one. but you can't get it right now from them cause of the little ordeal bak is going through.

Personally i would go for the berk exhaust if the exhaust shop can make a downpipe for it. It looks good and sounds good too you will def love it.

YELLOW_MR2 · 07-01-2009, 07:31 PM

Thanks, I just got paid but it's not enough for a Berk =( I think im going to wait for my next pay check and get Berk. Getting it to fit won't be an issue. Just have the performance shop make the DP for it.. Thanks guys.... Berk it is

masagsxr · 07-01-2009, 07:50 PM

Take pix as the shop fabricate the exhaust in
