Single Turbo Guys....What exhaust.

What exhaust are you guys running? Also would it hurt if you set up your exhaust sort of like the GMMG exhaust but with 18" Sweet Thunders? Or will this be to restrictive?

I run a custo m made 3" setup, it runs from the drivers side kmember straight back to the back of the tranny, does a 90 degree toward the passenger side, goes behind the tranny, another 90 degree to the back, and I have a 18" bullet, and it stops before the rear axle. The car is VERY quiet with this setup.

Full 4" from the turbo with a Dynomax Race Bullet. Its actually not very loud which can be a good and a bad thing. I used ovalized pipe underneath to keep some ground clearance.

Thanks, I forgot you saw it at the shootout. I have had a few people mistake it for a v6 also at idle/cruising, lol.

They are tucked way back against the firewall, wrapped in heat tape, and covered in fiberglass heat reflective sleeves. Plus the Turbo Blanket helps keep a large majority of the heat down.

You can hear my car here, I rev it as I go down the driveway so you can tell it's quiet. I was working on a wastegate issue this day. You can actually hear my SPAL fans over my exhaust at idle!

3" SLP 2OTL. Made decent HP through it. Any 3" or better w/o baffled mufflers will be sufficient for street use from a sound and power stand point.
