My adventures in a custom exhaust

chris haentjens · Jul 1, 2020

So,

I've been wanting a louder exhaust and as you all know there is no options....well one now at competition werkes. But the 1100 price tag for a simple slip on is extremely high. They priced themselves right out of my business. I do love the way the factory exhaust looks. I recently removed the cat which helped a tiny bit. So I decided to rip the whole thing apart today and rebuild it properly. Here are some pics of my progress so far. I will finish up tomorrow.
Here is the whole exhaust minus the trim pieces.

Drilling the spot welds

Here are the cut lines I decided to start with. I want to keep two of the three mounts for the muffler.

Here is what the internals look like

Big pipe is what used to attach to the cat. Notice all the very small outlet pipes.

Thats it for now, tomorrow I will fab up new tubing and rebuild the muffler.
Hope this helps anyone looking for more growl.
