New 3" Exhaust

My buddy Mike Staley from Bar Tuning, is helping me build a 3" custom exhaust. It's only going to have cats for now, but in the near future we are hoping to make an x-pipe design with 2 inline resonators. The idea is to use v-band clamps so that the x-pipe portion can be removed and just run it with cats. Here are a few pictures for now:

Cool project Ryan! Good luck and keep us updated! Once upon a time I was tempted to do a custom setup with electronic dumps but chickened out.

The exhaust is ridiculously loud, but between the weight savings and the instant boost spikes to 1.0 in 2nd and 3rd gear, I couldn't be happier.

Tony, Yeah I asked him if he'd heard of you, and his ADD was on overload. He was making the exhaust so I didn't press him on it, but assumed you two must know each other from working on Audi's and V Dub's.

Sean, Once I get these stupid GT2 C/O's on and the new Vivid Air Box I'll be in a position for more powah, as in MAD POWER! Until then I'll just have to live with beating your $234,000 M3 up and down I-10

Mike was one of the first guys in the US doing major work on the 2.7t motor....he was only about 19-20 at the time. Very bright young guy.

Mike is a great guy, I was talking to him through the storm making sure he was ok. Is it still a mess out there?

Things are okay. Mike's house didn't fair so well, but the shop is okay. I'm sure Mike wishes the opposite was the case. I think he wanted a new shop roof. I'll tell him hello!

Here are some more pictures. I'll see if I can get him to make me a removable exhaust to quite things in the neighborhood down. Needless to say the Fiance is not impressed(thankfully).







I'm with Mike now, and he wants me to tell you both hello.

Ryan sorry I missed your call. It's been a ****ty weekend for me, women issues, but I want to see if I can get Mike to make me a version of that exhaust with no cats so I can run C16. I need a 3" exhaust. Hit me up later today.
