Is there any way to take steps to reduce this vibration. I mean i dont want to have to shut my ac off everytime im at a stoplight.

It's really not that bad man.

I have upgraded motor mounts and I can't tell the difference over stock in terms of vibration. They make a huge difference for wheel hop though.

Raycer94 thats good to hear because when i get the exhaust id get the mounts to be safe but, man if you knew how it felt in the Z24.........Im sure the quality of the two cars is a lot different. Hopefully ill have no problems. Could there be a difference between mounts on a manual as apposed to auto?

is the injen catback 2.5 or 3"?

2.25" all around

 

[Hurdler5280]

Wow i would have thought that they would have been bigger. Dont people suggest 2.5-3" for FI cars. I dont have FI but i would like to in the future. Are there any exhausts that are bigger?

There may be, but I don't know which ones. But I believe there is someone running RIPP with the Injen. And I know of someone running Alpine with the Borla (which is 2.25" from the cat to the axle and then 2" on the muffler section).

Thats exactly what i was thinking since i was thinking of going FI, should i get headers. You guys think a catback will sound good without the headers?

yeah, the car will sound ALOT better with a catback even if you haven't installed headers yet. I have the ark performance dual setup on there and it sounds great. I'm waiting to go turbo so I'm not going to get headers.

2.25" all around

Negative. 2.5 pipes, 4 tips

 

[Hurdler5280]

ichijin your saying that all the exhaust available are 2.5" for the tib?

 

[ichijin mikomi]

No I'm sayin the Injen SES (which i have) is 2.5

 

[marlonius]

No I'm sayin the Injen SES (which i have) is 2.5

I measured it before I posted (I also have the SES). I too thought it was 2.5 but using a pipe gauge or whatever you call it, I discovered it is 2.25

I will check it again tomorrow AM just to be sure...hopefully the rain will be stopped over here by then.

 

[marlonius]

I guess we'll call it 2.5" on the Injen SES. I tried double-checking with the gauge I have but it's hard cuz it's not large enough to fit over the pipe properly. But by eyeing it, I could tell it was a little more than 2.25 but still less than 2.5

So I got out a vinyl tape measure and measured the circumference of the piping. I measured 7.5 inches. Since d=C/pi, I found that the diameter of the piping was about 2.4 inches. Yes, I am a geek...sometimes.

 

[Hurdler5280]

Haha thanks Marlonius. Im going to assume that they are all around 2.5 except the borla which i heard is a little smaller.

 

[krisyloo]

catback, headers manifold thats the way to go goodluck!

OK sweet, thx for the update man. Actually i didnt mean to come off as though i was flat out stating you were wrong, i was at work when i was posting so i was trying to avoid my boss and contribute what i thought to be accurate.

Good to know! :3_winkthu

I have the Ripp headers and Injen catback, and also Ripp SC

Wont be able to dyno til week after next though, my car is at Ripp getting some goodies! :-D

I personally dont think headers are worth it. I have had headers on since may of 2005, and took em off just this week to pass inspections. You lose low end torque, but you gain a good amount of mid-top end hp. But when i had headers on, i was running sh!tty as hell because i was running rich mainly because i was catless and untuned, but thats the thing, if you have headers, then you need to get a fuel tuner and some dyno time. After all is said and done, you wouldnt have enough bang for what you spent. Just get a catback and if your going turbo, then spend the money to prepare. Buy things such as the stage 4 IM, and a bigger throttle body, and also i would work on suspension. Just my 2 cents.

 

[Hurdler5280]

Natibgt03 that is the exact route im thinking of going. The only problem is right now i have no idea what catback to get. I cant seem to get anyone to post any sound clips of their exhaust. Ive heard the bse, ark and dc sports so far. I still got a few more id like to hear.

 

[terarbyte]

what motor mounts to do people recommend? cost?

 

[04_GTV6]

I would recommend T.C's they're the ones i'll be getting soon
