Got my new exahust installed
 
8 Attachment(s)
I had ordered an exhaust off Ebay for my NA6. It's an unbranded SR-S N1. The price was definitely right, $185 shipped!
It came in and I went ahead and installed it myself. It was a pretty easy straightforward job. The bulk of the work was raising the car up on the stands and lowering it again, plus the clean up and reorganize tools afterwards, etc<

I did have a bit of an issue with some little "L" brackets that came with the kit and I had to modify one of them tio get it to fit right (after I figured out how to mount it).

Wow thanks for sharing the brand of that, the same one was on my car when I got it. When I get on my computer I will listen to it and compare supercharged to turbo sound.
Ps its to quiet for turbo cars.

mine sounds about 60% different, ps that supercharger sounds sweet.

Thanks! That supercharger sure does make a noise when you wind it :D. They are louder than stock and of course, even louder than turbo charged cars... Mine even has the silencer still in it!

i wouldnt say that, theres some loud turbos, and mines very far from quiet.

I found a couple of issues with the fitment so far. one thing is that a couple of the hangers could be bent a little better. And the last attachment of the can and tip to the car is rigid. I had top modify the little "L" bracket so it would bolt up. The biggest issue is that the rigid mount transmits all the exhaust vibrations into the car frame... I think I've found a solution, but it's going to end up costing me a few more bucks and some fabrication.

I had the same issue until 2 days ago. I cut it off and it seems to be fine.

Do you mean you just did away with the whole thing? In my car the tip would be too low and off center from the bumper cut out without the mounting...

This is what mine looks like:

On mine it stays right where it should be, I want a 2.5 turbo back system anyway so this one doesn't mean much to me.
