Exhaust mod?
 

The exhaust systom is all curvy and what not. I was thinking of putting a strait pipe starting at the down pipe all the way back to the muffler. I was just going to use some 2.5" or 3" pipe I found at fleat farm its for exhaust its bendy.How would the car sound like that?

if its steel tube it will sound a lot like a tractor. Some people like that, some dont. I remember i hated my car when it sounded like that. But if youre talking about some kind of flexible stuff....it will probably sound terrible. Give it a shot though...Dont know until you try:)

Well if i do it, itwould have to stay that way at less i had some welding done to put it back to normal. And by sounding like a tractor what you meen? Is their like any vid of how it would sound on youtube? Right not im just running a stock muffler with out baffles and a exhaust tip.

well im gonna tell you right now, i was joking about trying the flexible tube. thats some seriously ghetto shhhhhat.

I just realized youre not turbo so it wont sound like my TSi. It will probably just be really loud and sound like a civic basically.

why would you put a straigh pipe on a 420a? you won't get anymore power than you would from any other catback. and if you don't have a turbo, you don't have a downpipe. the pipe that comes off the header is called an intermediate pipe. it's going to be super duper loud unless you put like 2 or 3 resonators before the muffler. people will hear you a mile down the road and wonder why it takes so long to see you... then they will realize it's a n/a eclipse...

This is the type of tube im talking about. the tube going to the muffler except I would be buying fatter stuff. http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...wheeler262.jpg

there is no point in putting straight pipe on a n/a eclipse once again.... you will get just as much power out of a regular cat/back exhaust. also, to run a STRAIGHT pipe from the intermediate pipe all the way out, your exhaust will be hanging below the bottom of the car and rubbing on everything...

is a cat back straight back?

RE: Exhaust mod?
 

no. every exhaust for any car has bends in it to follow the stock route.... if they have developed a straightER pipe, that's good but A G A I N with a 420a..... it doesnt matter.

i basically did what you're thinking of, my stock resonator rusted on the one end, so i cut it out and just put a straight pipe on it to close the gap,i was runnin just the cat and muffler, it sounded like SHAT! between 3-4k it got REALLY ricey and farty... i wound up buying a whole new midpipe and bolting that on, it came with two resonators and sounds a hell of a lot better, i would say dont do it!
