Does it convert for you here? Cause I just uploaded the .mov files, and I didnt know you could here now.

V6Cam 04-03-2006 09:02 PM

sounds nice...

69z-28 04-03-2006 10:35 PM

It sure gets up faster... I havent really been able to test it much... It was raining, so the roads were slick last night... Today, I was working/school, but ive noticed a banging sometimes, so i gotta fix that.. I think there also might be a leak, not sure... I need to look at it again, or get it checked out..

Do you think bringing it to a shop to just have them look it over, and/or retighten things if needed would cost a pretty penny? Just looking for somthing quick, or getting ideas... I dont have much time to put into it now, or the workspace.

Onedarkevl 04-03-2006 11:17 PM

damn dude, bringing it to the shop probably won't be that bad, unless the guy's a douche... some shops tend to run in the d-bag circle.

I brought my jeep into the shop on friday to replace 2 tires, and got a bill for $1200 friggen bux.. The guy was like oh you need a new swaybar, this and that, and a whole bunch of other bullsh*t. Now i'm in even more debt....:mad:

FamousZ 04-04-2006 12:24 AM

The next thing after my hood will be headers and a cat.. And prolly rotors since I think mine went to ****!

paarman97maro 04-04-2006 04:31 PM

Found out today the leak i thought i was hearing was the EGR loose.. it somehow came seperated, and it was kind of a pain in the *** to get tightened the first time.. I think its stripped, or cross threaded, or somthing.. but its loose now, so theres a little leak there now... Any ideas on what to do, or how to fix this?

blue89vert 04-04-2006 04:54 PM

i like it

Bernotas05 04-04-2006 07:20 PM

not bad

paarman97maro 04-04-2006 08:26 PM

Got 2 more clips today... Theyre in my first post ^. Not the best, but Adric and I whipped them up quick... Expect more this weekend ;). Oh yeah, and Ill have some pics up later tonight.

blue89vert 04-04-2006 08:49 PM

Onedarkevl 04-04-2006 09:06 PM

What do you mean by longer clips?

Onedarkevl 04-04-2006 09:22 PM

I have a habbit of cutting videos short because It only recorss for 60secs in the biggest resolution on my digital camera. Therefore im worried and cut stuff so short.. also my battery was runnig out so I wanted to quickly do it.

Amurican_Muscle 04-04-2006 11:58 PM

Sounds good.

2000v6cam 04-05-2006 02:12 AM

sounds good dude even though i can tell the camera kind of distorted the sound, but how is the rasp? is it not that bad with ur setup?

Adric 04-05-2006 02:20 AM

yeah its just from my digital camera.. I think me and Justin need to invest in a cam recorder.

Amurican_Muscle 04-05-2006 02:38 AM

Off-topic but I have to say it. Adric, your new quote is so funny ... :p

Amurican_Muscle 04-05-2006 03:00 AM

Oh, I guess I just now noticed your burning more rice than Hiroshima quote ... Haha ...

it doesnt sound horrible but u can tell its distorted

paarman97maro 04-05-2006 09:47 AM

The rasp isnt bad.. Personally, I dont think it sounds bad at all... Of course you can tell when it gets raspy and in the high rpms, but I dont think its a bad sound IMO. Its a LOT better than what it sounded like before. I actually like it.

V6Cam 04-05-2006 09:49 AM

sounds better than my 3.4L lol...mine only sounds nice at idle...

paarman97maro 04-05-2006 09:54 AM

I really like how loud it is... everyone told me that magnaflow was gonna be quiet, maybe its the headers, or the piping diameter, but its not quiet at all... Probably not compared to rumbler or anything, but I like to wake the neighbors :p

Adric 04-05-2006 10:03 AM

I think alot of the distortion your hearing is from the conversion from .mov to .mpg on chads video server. If you watch Justin's video on myspace of him doing an exhaust clip its soomuch less distorted.

paarman97maro 04-05-2006 10:26 AM

Yeah, i was gonna say that as well.

paarman97maro 04-05-2006 11:31 AM

There are some pics from the install/completion.

JesasaurusRex 04-06-2006 12:29 AM

Congrats :D

digiphaze 04-17-2006 06:38 PM

Nice job! Best sounding N/A 3.8 I've heard. I've been trying to figure out if I want to get headers or the magnaflow first. After this I think I'll get the headers. Seems like that makes a big difference.

In this picture:

It looks like the pipes are nearly touching the rear tire. Is that just the lighting or is it really close?

paarman97maro 04-17-2006 06:48 PM

Just the perspective, its not that close.
