Resonator and muffler delete. Straight Pipe.

[karrann]

So tomorrow I am going to delete the Resonator and Muffler off my s4 and run a straight pipe. Im just trying to get some feed back on what size pipe I should use. Anybody done this? Any suggestions?

Update: So I did a Resonator and Muffler delete originally but kept the stock piping and replace the missing peaces with 2.5 in piping. Ran that for a couple of week and just recently changed it again. This time cut it behind the cats and did a 2.5 true dual all the way back. Here a little clip revving it.

I had this on my stage 2+, don't remember what size it was though. The exhaust note was superb but it was a little to loud and the best part is you can really hear the turbos spool, no more sleeper effect for you.

[karrann]

Yeah I've been looking around and 2.25 seems to sound pretty good. I heard a 2.75 also on youtube and it also sounded very good although not as much of a note.

[haggard69er]

So your removing your whole exhaust and having a custom one made that does not have any resonators or mufflers? If so, then i would go with dual 2.5 or 3 inch.
Here is a uuc vm3 with resonator removed and gutted dps

Right. So basically straight pipe from where the resonator would be. And that sounds good but not as much of a tone to it.

Heres a video I found. He claims its a 2.75 inch


and This one is 2.25 inch I believe.

[haggard69er]

Got ya. well you loose the "tone'' by getting rid of the mufflers imho but to try and explain it, he larger the piping, the lower the ''tone'' will be. Smaller piping will result in a more raspy high pitched ''tone''.

You want an in car video of a straight turbo back straight pipe? here ya go...

[SLAB97A4]

Straight piping you're exhaust can lead to burnt valves. Just saying.

What size piping is that??

[KaoticS4]

You don't have to worry about back pressure as much on turbo cars, the turbo supplies the back pressure

you're retarded. just saying.

exactly the same setup on my car. identical sound. on decell, if you apply the tiniest bit of throttle it burbles and back fires.

[haggard69er]

Forgot to add this. uuc vm3 with resonator removed, all 4 cats gutted.

and it shoots fire lol :)

[ratherb1]

you're retarded. just saying.

Lmao

[bajanavant]

i did 3 inch on my avant sounds good a little scraping on high speed bumps and driveways

[Oompous]

What size piping is that??

2.5 tru-dual

I couldn't keep the car quiet even if I tried..

It's ok if you have mom and dad to pay for you're fuck ups. I said CAN or is this like vortex and people just can't read plain english?

seems like you can't speak plain english...."pay for you are fuck ups."? good engrish sir

[karrann]

Alright did it. Went with a 2.5 inch for now. Sounds a 100 times better than stock. Piggies up next.

[SLAB97A4]

You know you're butthurt when you complain about simple spelling mistakes. Hope the car sounds good! Sound clip? :)

Well it CAN'T. We can all read just fine, but your in a section where these cars ONLY came turbo'd. So NONE of us need to worry about back pressure.

I'll write that in Italian if the people from Vortex can't read the English version.

I think it sounds very good. Nice tone not obnoxious or anything. And it backfired too lol. And ya i'll take a clip in a bit.

[SLAB97A4]

That's fine with me. I'd like to hear it haha

[morris400]

and This one is 2.25 inch I believe.

the top video is the same exhaust i had on my car, its stock dps with no cats and no muflers with a 2.75 inch single pipe with no muflers. below is a video of that exhaust on my car after i went with the ssac dps.

The bigger the pipe the deeper tone you will get...
I had a 3" straight pipe on my old car (saab) and it sounded like a boat..
A buddy has his Audi straight piped and it is 3" as well.. Sounds like shit. Go either 2.5" or 3" with a nice muffler.

Already did a 2.5 True Dual. That was a sound clip. And one of my buddy actually did a straight 3" on his B5 and it sounds amazing.

Mine is a 3 inch. And it sounds pretty damn good. Raspy. As well.

[karrann]

Updated original Post with video of current setup.

[arab06]

will my s4 sound good if i just take off the muffler and get a pipe welded on?

[JackalS4]

Yes, actually!

Vids are kickin' around i'm sure..

[karrann]

I jut did that before I did the True Dual. Just noticed you are in everett. Im in Mill Creek. I can show you what it sounds like if you want.

[Aggv]

Needs stance and a FMIC

[arab06]

oh hell yeah man!! shoot me a text. 425 210 5662

[Breppinq]

2.5 sounds best and idk if its just me but i feel like something is wrong with that a6 just from the way it sounded

[james 408]

single 3.5 for performance (weight) and flow reasons.

if sound is what you care about, just remove the rear muffler will do, but doesn't really open up the flow as much as an aftermarket.

i would not straight pipe and test pipe cats on a street car. but i like to able to leave my house after 10pm and not have everyone in the neighborhood think i'm a dick.

[jpurre]

I'm a dick..

[Jvt]

Sounds like shit
