Standard catback exhaust system job on the VR6. Took down and throw away the mid resonator, the mid suitcase like muffler and the final rear mufflers. All together we removed about 70lbs from the VR6. We still retain the cat up front but now its sporting a 2.25" diameter pipe from catback straight to the back, using mandrel bend pipe for the necesary bends and we top it all off with one of the SS Magnaflow dual oval tips straight thru muffler. The dual oval tips retain that trick "stock" look but it sure is wide open flow.

We started small with this car and it grew big. We took out the existing 2.5" pressbent system some local muffler shop did and threw it in the garbage! That system was so ugly and it restricted flows worse than a pinched straw. We cut down the retarded RSR 2 bolt 3" flange from the RSR 3" DP and tig welded on a standard 3 bolt 3" flanges. A 3" piping seals better with 3 bolts flange. From there, we went with a straight piping all the way back to the rear end. A little bit use of 3" mandrel bend piping connects the piping to the rear muffler. The rear muffler is a unique one. Its a growing trend among the local guys around here now to sport a dual tip look to get away from being associated with the ricer crowd. The muffler that we use in the system is a 3" in/ dual 2.5" out SS Magnaflow muffler. To finish it up, we took 2 3" rolled edge SS tip and tig welded the tips directly to the backwall of the muffler to give it "it comes from the factory that way" look. Everything comes together with a very clean style and now aside from providing the much needed extra exhaust flow it also enhance the overall look of the car when viewed from the rear. We even tig welded an extra O2 sensor bung onto the straight pipe so he has a place to screw in his rear O2 sensor. Nothing but good stuff. Then we installed an EVO3 Big 16G turbo to replace the tiny stock t25 turbo. Turbine and compressor housing, exhaust manifold and O2 housings are ported and ceramic coated to surpress heat from radiating towards every other parts under the hood. A new upper and lower IC pipe are fabricated along with installing the new HKS BOV SSQV on the car. Still to come are pictures of the fuel system upgrade (injector, AFPR, and SS lines with AN fittings install) and a racing battery upgrade.
