Hay
i got a mandrel 2.5 exhaust put on the other day.
anyway i got a coby center resonator + my Daytech racing muffler

well this baby is loud... specially around 3000rpm idels nice thou
what does every one else's sound like??? should i add another resonator?

my T3/4 dosn't seem to kick in till 4000rpm now but with the stock exhaust it would kick in at 3500rpm i always thought it would spool sooner? WTF?

any way any one got any tips for me?
tuning wise/etc wastegate adjustments

i think my cv joint is on the way out i hear a bit of clicking sometimes down there any1 got a spare for cheap?

Rock on!!
any help/ experience much appreciated.

 

Yeah... exhaust tone peaks on the Tiburon @ 3200RPM. Thats normal. For a T3, that does seem to spool pretty late. Lots of things could cause that problem though...

 

Alz, is this a custom mandrel bent exhaust? you'll get used to the loud noise..it will get louder too if you havn't already put a header in there.

 

Note he's running a T3/T4 Turbo... no header for him tongue.gif

 

hehehe, nice, how big is the resonator?? 2.5 as well?? If not that could cause the higher spool rpm due to more back pressure. :?:

fockers...lol..I caught that one too late..

 

Still, going from 2inch crush to 2.5inch mandrel is going to make him run less backpressure than on a stock exhaust. You describe the exhaust being loud and turbo time being sluggish. Check for exhaust leaks... exhaust leaks would cause sluggish boost... a malfunctioning wastegate would cause an exhaust leak around the turbo.. check that as well. Check your backpressure anyway if you want, shouldn't be more than 2 PSI.

 

there is no way your turbo is spinning slower now, something must of been done wrong man. Check everything out and ask one of the mods to move this thread to forced induction.

 

I can do that.. consider it moved

 

hay, (sorry never post on the weekends)

No there are no exhaust leaks, i have checked throughly,lol inspected every weld etc, the resonator is 2.5,

The car definetly goes harder now than before, i was just saying that i thought it would spool sooner than later, not anyslower....

It seems as if i've lost a bit of torque in 1st, maby im just playing tricks on myself, well i went for a bit of a drive and got used to the sound im still deciding if i want it quiter tho or just make it sound like a monster.. i sort of like it

Oh and yep its a custom 2.5 mandrel exhaust ill get a pic up soon.

still any help thoughts appreciated
