I had a little extra time this morning, so I took a short, November morning cold start exhaust video! This is the 2.5 "Quiet" version...

We did a cold start 3.0 "Loud" version video this morning, to add to this thread for a direct comparison...

very good sound....

 

Can't wait to put mine on!!

 

Exhaust sounds great, but you rev it out like that when the engine's still ice cold?

 

And he has over 100K on it. I think we all baby the cars way too much!

Great sound John. I should get you a cold start with the 3.0. It sounds like a beast!

 

That sounds mean! Are the turbos upgraded? they sound loud

 

Yes, for the sake of a video, but it's not the first time. I have done demos like this periodically for friends, etc. over the life of the car. Engine has 115,0000 miles, oil is changed every 6 months or so (approx. 6,000-8,000 miles) and it only burns 1 quart every 2,500 miles, same as when it was brand new. Car has been modified since it was about 3 months old and has seen over 50 - 1/4 mile passes and hits red line every day it's driven, etc.

I think Nick is right - they can take a lot.

 

The turbos are upgraded and the car has FULL supporting mods, but it really does not sound mean in person - it's the cold start that is a little loud, but it subsides quickly to a pretty mellow sound level on the 2.5 version. The 3.0 is deeper sounding and more raw / aggressive. It sounds mean in comparison. We did some video today of the 3.0 and have a little editing to do. Didn't get a cold start though, as the engine was warm when we did the swap. Stay tuned for the 3.0 -

 

Thanks, Nikolas. I put a 3.0 on today for some video work and got a nice shot of the car shooting flames on the 3-4 shift at WOT! I plan to do the cold start video in the morning weather permitting (rain is moving in). I did a back to back video on the same road and you can clearly hear the difference in the systems - the 2.5 sounds more refined, yet very sporty - the 3.0 sounds just plain aggressive (and wonderful), like it means a lot of business!

 

flames at a 996tt....wonderful...i remember the days of my old 965 turbo..like to see and hear your video of your 3"

 

We will have more footage available shortly after Thanksgiving day, finishing up filming next Wednesday and will edit during the holiday weekend. Its always cool to see a flame or two every once in a while...

 

Snow is on the way - hopefully I don't set off any avalanches in the wee hours of the morining

 

Winfried, here you go...click on this link to the video: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ts-flames.html

 

:-) Yea, here we go again...we had 23" last week, fortunately it's all melted...

 

OK, we did a cold start video of the Speedtech X-cellerator 3.0 "Loud" X-Flow Exhaust this morning for a direct comparison...Here it is:
