Exhaust Upgrade

[mikeS350]

I recently upgraded my exhaust on my 2000 GTV8 and am pretty pleased with the end product, so I thought I would share it in case others wondered about doing the same to theirs. My stock left cat had collapsed and decided to put in some 200-cell high flow cats from Espritperformance and a twin centered exhaust. The twin centered exhaust didn't have a muffler/silencer so I was a bit worried about the sound level. That said, I never did like the stock sound as I thought it always sounded a bit tame. Anyway, I'm really pleased with the results. I think the car sounds much better and more like a V8 should. The video doesn't do the sound justice, and from the moment I fired it up I loved the new sound. Also love the twin exhaust/cheesegrater look (the cheesegrater has been readjusted since this video was taken and now sits much better). Extended revs are at 3000 and 5000.

my wife said it sounded like the car did a wet fart...

Women eh?

Tell your wife that words can hurt...I cried for days...real tears.

Don't be upset, she didn't really mean it.

I quite like a bit of farting as I drive along anyway.

Mine does it a little bit although its a 4 pot so sounds a bit higher pitched...
