ok so within the next couple of week ill be converting the car to turbo, when i do this ill have to redo the exhaust, im thinking of going with a 3 inch full exhaust, any thaughts? also what would be a good muffler to go with, if one at all?

thanks

-kid-

I have the saab savior exhaust on my car which has the magnaflow muffler which is basically straight through and it sounds great in my opinion

 

and your question is what? haha, 3" and some kind of resonator

 

^^ as much fun as it would be to scare the shit out of someone when passing them on the high way, i would also like to be able to talk to people in the car, perferably with out screaming.

 

also ive heard a couple of times that 3 inch can be to big

 

3 inch will never be too big on a turbo c900.

Also, I would recommend the muffler I got - a 26" thrush glasspack.

 

glass pack is the way to go. If you want to scare people. BOV always makes people jump....

 

Funny thing about glasspacks, at least from mine and what I've heard from others, is that they have a break-in period. They get louder and "cracklier" over time. I love mine without a cat. Once I did a big third gear downshift coming into a turn by my house to like 4500rpm, came down to like 2k or so, and this woman at a bus stop on the corner said, "That's hot." as I drove by. :lol:

 

hhmmm i like the way that sounds, ill just have to find a glass pack with three inch inlet and exit

 

Thrush are cheap at summit.

If you put it on with a cat, it will actually be kind of subtle at first.

Edit - dirt cheap.

 

We can still pull the stock "turbo" exhaust off the parts car for ya.


You're not going to need 3" exhaust, the 2.5" stock turbo exhaust with a cat/muffler delete with a single resonator will be perfect.

Especially since you're only going to be running 5psi.

 

how so? the down pipe broke of right befor the cat when we were taking it off lol unless we weld everything up

 

The cat-back still exists, and we weld/clamp in a "test" pipe to replace the cat.

 

I have used glasspacks on my C900's & I will never go that route again. I have had 3 in complete exh with glasspack & cat & also 3in DP to race cat to glasspack then 2.5 in from glasspack back. I then yanked the glasspack & put a good muffler in there & for me I prefer the muffler.

Every glasspack I had gave me a very annoying resonance around cruising speed on the highway & just made the exh kinda annoing to me. With a good muffler the exh note is better & it's toned down enough to not be annoying when driving.

I also couldn't get glasspacks to not rattle after a few years of use.... they are cheap but a PITA to replace every few years

 

i dont think 3 inch will be to big everone that i know that had put 3 inch exhaust on there c900 has seen noticable impovements, i am building a full
3 1/2" exhaust trubo back with no cat this is the muffler i am using its pretty cheap and works well and sound bad ass i used one on my buddys ng900 when i build his 3" exhaust and it sounds mean as hell but not like a glass pack that has the high resonance. good luck on the exhaust build
