update!
I made a new downpipe to clear the wastegate a little better. Then I was like "man, all this piping for what". It dosnt really make the car any quieter. So I dropped the entire exhaust and just welded to muffler to where the downpipe would normally end. Barely any louder. And dropped even more weight off the car.
The car sounds much deeper and better to me. Others say the same thing that have seen it in person. I'm guessing the manifold porting added to the better sound at least a little. The car spools twice as fast and I can even here the turbo spooling through the exhaust now. Sounds dope... But what beats that easily, is the sound of the wastegate when that big bitch open up! lol... scream crazy. And best of all, It holds boost easily anywhere I want it to all the way to whatever RPM I feel like taking it to... dopeness.
Before this, I could go through 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear with out barely breaking the tires loose on the street. Now there's no hope for the tires in 1st, same for second. And third the tires are still smoking. I even tried rolling at about 45mph and ease in on the throttle, still lights the tires up! And these are 255 wide tires.... So did this help? Fuck yeah, like you wouldnt believe...
Oh ,and by the way, I havnt tuned the Apex-i NEO at all. Nothing. All of this with ZERO tuning. Now that I have a wideband back and have a second o2 bung in the downpipe, I can actually tune the car. It's only getting better.
Pics of everything installed!
