Posted by baxsom, Jan-22-06 03:33 AM
here are pics of my new exhaust
thermal reseach and development
3" cat back
the normal 3" from them has the opening to fit the normal cat
so it has to be modified to fit my 3" maxflow cat

hahn took care of the mod for me

Nice. I always loved the Thermal exhaust but thought they weren't sold in the States anymore. Apparently they are now? Where did you get yours?

Nice! How do you like the sound of it? Mine is sitting in my basement with everything else waiting for the spring weather to install.

i got mine from hahn racecraft
got the hahn 3" downpipe
3"maxflow cat
and 3" exhaust

the normal 3" exhaust comes ready to fit onto a stock size cat so hahn will put a 3" flange on it for 50 buck

the exhaust total was 550.
275 for the DP and 200ish for the cat

it sounds great
real calm at idle not ricy when you rev

ahmen to that, i've got the exact same exhaust and i love it, you get the V-band downpipe too? it's so easy to take on and off, i'll get some pics of mine up soon too, by the way did you have trouble fitting your dipstick tube in with the downpipe, i had to like bend mine

i got the v band
they forgot to send it and i didnt get a chance to put the exhaust on until about a month and a half so i had to buy another one
hahn only has a 30 day guarantee that all the parts are there
no biggie

yep had to bend the dip stick and the AC lines to get the new down pipe on

it is nice to have the tools isnt it

my father in law has a car lift in his garage
it makes life so much easier sometimes

i admire those people that have pulled their engine in their garage and rebuilt it themselves then put it back in
and actually have it work
that might be a little beyond me but i still like to try to do things sans the benefit of professional experience


if my shoulder wasnt still messed up so i could reach over my head i would have put the exhaust on myself
i hate paying people to work on my car
