My new damptronics, GIAC flash and FVD Exhaust!
Now to the exhaust...
FVD Brombacher
As I have posted in a few other threads I spent a great deal of time going out to hear exhaust systems. I can't thank everyone enough who took the time to spend with me and were generous enough to take me for rides in their cars.
While all the popular exhausts were terrific in their own ways...none were right for me and my ears. I heard AWE, Cargraphic normal and loud and Tubi. Each person who had these exhausts was in love with them so I really don't believe you can go wrong with any of them. They are all different and you really need to hear them before making a decision.
With input from NYAMG and TTDude (thanks guys) I reached out to Rhonda at FVD. I can't say enough positive things about her. She was responsive, professional and could not have treated me better. And trust me...I can be very critical!
I ordered their new "sound" version of their system with the 200 Cell cats. They went on yesterday and all I can say is "wow"!!
This is definitely the closest exhaust I have heard to an air cooled car. While driving home from the install on a short 10 minute drive two different cars pulled up to me to give me the thumbs up...a modded M5 with it's own sweet exhaust and some ricer-type car as well.
So I went up to the Bear Mountain car show last night and the attention this car and exhaust got were unreal. It was shocking to me that so many people would walk right past incredible muscle cars to gawk at my car.
There is a deep growl at low speeds that just makes me smile...then you hear the turbos spool up like I have never heard before - all followed by an amazing barratone roar...I wish I could put into words how great this exhaust is. It's perfect! The quality of construction puts the stock exhaust to shame.
Plus it's a true quad exhaust so you don't need to buy tips!
If anyone wants to hear it I'm more than happy to take you for a ride. In my opinion, every single turbo on the planet should have this exhaust. It would increase our resale value 100,000,000 percent.
Porsche should pay FVD a fortune to put these on every new car!
Thanks everyone!!
Tks,
Ron
Ron...I have no vibrations or resonance at all.
The FVD headers are on and holy crap what a difference. I never expected such a huge impact from the headers.
I'm going to do another video shortly...just haven't had the time or weather cooperation.
Basically the car sounds even more angry which I didn't think was possible. There is noticeable increase in performance and the turbos spooling up make a sound that leaves me literally speachless.
With the money you save on the other brands by getting an FVD from Rhonda you can also get the headers and still save a few bucks. You would be foolish not to go this route...
I am thrilled with my decision. Rhonda has been amazing and my guys at Jack Daniels have really done a professional job on the installation. I have personally seen some "butchered" installs...JD has really done a terrific professional job.
If anyone wants to go for a ride just let me know. So many people were generous enough to help me and my OCD over these decisions that I'm more than happy to help the next guys....
