Today the weather was great - we got to 55 degrees!! Not bad for mid-December in the mid-west.

These are some rolling shots that a friend of mine took of the car. I haven't had any shots of the car after I had my hood treatment and I liked how they turned out. I still have not gotten any videos after the changes I made to the exhaust system but the weather will be even nicer tomorrow so that is on my to-do list.









So far we have had a mild winter. Nothing like last year...but I am not complaining!!!

 

Tailwag.. I love the EVT badges/logo... I think you need a new one that says EVT775 though.. Maybe we should have some new ones made.

 

Rather interesting exhaust outlet...do you have more pictures of it...like what's behind the screen?

 

Damn nice car, Love the different exhaust outlets. Nice to see someone going a different direction once in a while.

Looks fast

 

NICE. Would like to know how the exhaust works. Cheers.

 

Car looks great. Is the hood a wrap and if so what is the product?

 

Car is lovely mate!

 

I too want to see the exhaust details. Is it in another thread? I figured you had a central GT3 style exhaust but I don't see any tips anywhere.....

 

good idea.

 

Thanks for all the comments guys!!

I had a 70mm Fabspeed system. It was a great exhaust performance-wise, but simply too quiet for my liking. I tried to go with a straight pipes but had some hiccups along the way.

This is basically it...



There is a straight pipe system available that basically removes the mufflers and bolts on directly to the race-cats, exists through the same position as before, and has the same tips mounted on it. Basically, the car would look the same, sounds a lot louder and removes some excess weight.

Now...this is basically what I did.



Using the same concept of the straight pipes, I decided to go "tip-less". The tips themselves are pretty heavy (that was not the main reason though)...I just wanted it to look differently also.

I basically used the "90 degree" arms that originally exited from the mufflers and to which the tips would bolt on. I bypassed the whole system and bolted those "90 degree" arms onto the race-cats pointing them straight down. They exit with plenty of clearance around the bumper and are almost flush with it also on the bottom.

Now, the exits where the original mufflers/tips exited, looked...meh...pretty bad, but adding the screen covers certainly fixed that issue.

Here are a couple of pics to help illustrate and a video of what it sounds like. The sound is considerably deeper than the straight pipes and carries a lot more "bass"...it is hard to explain...maybe because of the resonance against the ground?







I like the idea of having a completely different look, a little less weight (the tips are heavy, no doubt ), and using the hardware that I already had. There is a LOT of empty room in there now to help the heat from the engine dissipate a little more.

 

Here is a video from inside the car under "normal driving"...it has a VERY nice deep throaty sound to it (traction is an issue at peak boost hence the giggles...)


And this is what it sounds outside the car


Here is a WOT burst...


And here is another short one - on this one you can really hear the turbo hiss - it is literally a hiss before it explodes with a loud waaaaahaaaaaaatttaa!

 

Hey cousin!

I have the template if you want to do it. I can simply change the 750 for 775 if you want...that would look pretty sweet on your white EVT!

 

I need to get the correct info for this. It is a 3M product, however, it is a bit different than the di-noc that has been around for a while. It looks a little better, has more texture than di-noc, but it is a little more difficult to apply.

 

Thanks for the post. Great job with the exhaust.

 

Cool exhaust solution!
