Custom G sedan Full 3" dual exhaust

Qbridg3 · 10-15-2009, 11:34 PM

Just wanted to share pics of the projected I recently finished on my car. If anyone else in the GA is looking for something custom the shop I used can make something happen for only $250 in labor.

More pics on G35driver

looks good

*choray911* · 10-16-2009, 10:27 AM

Not bad.

MoncefA33 · 10-16-2009, 10:43 AM

Me like...

Qbridg3 · 10-16-2009, 11:33 AM

More pics.

Also want to let members know that the shop will mount and balance tires for $55

Bumper still needs to be heated and molded.

So you could feel a big difference? Looks great...

VigilanteMax · 10-16-2009, 12:48 PM

Are you getting enough back pressure to notice a difference. i would almost expect a drop in HP....looks good though

MDeezy · 10-18-2009, 02:41 AM

Looks sexy! true dual should sounds damn nice! Always though TQ went up bit from true dual but I'm not 100% on that.

$55 to mount tires?? is that for 4? most tire shops charge about $8 to mount a balance a tire

why would they charge more? I havent seent the TPS sensor but i would hope its mounted in the rim and its fairly routine to put a new tire on. A lot of cars comes with this sensor, shops charge more cause they have a sensor to move?

I run a service dept at a new car dealership and we don't charge more, but if you are not careful they can break. And we advise the customer of that so we are not liable.

MDeezy · 10-20-2009, 12:34 PM

if it were me and its easy to take off...I woudl take it off each time I get new tires mounted. I'm sure the sensor isnt cheap and most shops will damage it somehow. especially since they may not be used to seeing the sensor

they shouldn't charge more. You should bust the tire 90 degrees from the valve stem and you wouldn't have to worry about breaking the sensor. Some shops r just clueless...

*LeX* · 10-21-2009, 09:17 AM

Marlon, tell me where you get tires mounted and balanced for $8 a tire i've never seen a price that low even at small places

MDeezy · 10-21-2009, 09:18 AM

we'll maybe not $8 but last time I was at tires plus I paid ~$13 (only had one tire to mount)

choiiiiiiiiiii · 10-21-2009, 01:25 PM

i had mine for 8 at kauffman...or maybe it was 12...

thank you!

and if $55 is a good discounted price, what are people paying without a discount???

*redmaxpa007* · 10-31-2009, 06:34 AM

if you are running 35-40 series..

you are looking at $20 - $40 a tire for mounting and balancing..

a lot of places are not mounting tires that you bring in .. i.e. tires plus.. they told me thay have to be new tires.

they mount and balance tires cheap if you buy the tire from them..

$55 is cheap....

*redmaxpa007* · 10-31-2009, 06:36 AM

hmm.... i could use a 3 in exhaust....

do it

why would the size of tire matter? its still the same process....

it is all about side wall stiffness....... the process is the same, but the lower the series, the harder it is to do..

at the last meet (that no one showed to as usual) was talking with a z guy and they had 20's with 20 series width tires.. it was over $100 to install the one tire that to replace...

During the exhaust cycle, burnt gases depleted of oxygen are "exhausted" from the combustion chamber. The more difficult it is for the gases to escape, the more "back pressure" there is. The greater the back pressure, the more oxygen depleted gas there is remaining in the chamber during the intake cycle, resulting is less available space for fresh air containing oxygen to support combustion during the combustion cycle. However, if the fuel provided is already fully burnt, there is no significant increase in power if the back pressure is reduced. This is why some people complain that their back pressure reducing new header or large bore exhaust system has not provided an increase in power. In order to optimize an increase in power, the engine needs to be re-tuned to provide additional fuel to take advantage of the additional available oxygen.

Anytime you need anything just let me know.

i dont see anything in here that says backpressure is a good thing
the only argument you've made is that you should get a tune after modifying the exhaust

Actually never made an argument...made a statement

If you agree with the tune then "arguing" at this point is futile. teehee

Cliffs....go buy a honda

Ninja edit:
I guess what Im saying is that it depends on where his power band is, and I bet he isnt making any more power than before

I dont think in his G's case that 5-10 HP is noticeable

You should get an X-pipe
