My welder did complain to me that my cuts were too thick. BTW, does anyone remember a thread where someone replaced the rear rubber exhaust mounts with black ones? I'd like to pick some up but I forget where he got them and what the part # was. |

Yes, my cuts were wide so the welds needed to be wide. If I did it again I would use a thinner cutting disc. Live and learn. |

Wished you painted the tips too. I was curious to see how that would hold up. I was tempted to paint mine when I had it off.

OK, Here it is!!! It sounds awesome and is very comfortable on the ears. I am super sensitive to drone and resonance and this is perfect!

Congratulations on your research and time dedicated man! Looks like I'll be heading out to my local mechanic for sum exhaust work.
Sounds good as hell man!

So you left the smaller holes open and wrapped the larger holes. What type of tape did you use by the way? How much of the insulating wool did you put back inside before you welded it shut? Thank you in advance. Again, good job!

The small holes were originally covered by a steel wool like material. I cut that away. I then wrapped the large set of holes (the pipes with the higher amount of holes) with exhaust repair tape that cures when heated. That tape was also secured with clamps. I then put back ALL of the sound absorbing material.

The video is post #45: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showpos...7&postcount=45 and #46 http://www.m3post.com/forums/showpos...2&postcount=46 It was too loud and I felt I needed to open up a few holes and put the sound absorbing material back in to absorb the sound that would come out of those reopened holes. The backfire in those early videos has not occurred again. |
