I'm getting ready to build up a custom 3" exhaust from the turbo back on my car. The whole thing as i have it designed right now is going to run me about $1200 in parts alone. I have a hookup thats going to fab it up for me for $500 so that brings the whole thing up to $1700 for exhaust.

Now what bothers me is that nearly NO manufacturer has any kind of data on any of the mufflers they sell. Its infuriating. I called a few manufacturers to talk about things like dB drop and flow numbers and they all said shit like, "You don't race flow benches" and "I've been working in the industry for X years and . . ."

They said all kinds of stuff except for valid technical information.

So i designed it using my best judgement which was based on some fluid dynamics knowledge, a little speaker and sound knowledge and a bit of voodoo here and there.

And you know what? It feels bad. What if i spend $1700 on something and it sounds like shit. . . . ohh well.

Anyone have any good links to a scientific way to design an exhaust without having access to unlimited money and test facilities?

What if Hondas are not stolen as often as people think?

What if the reason for the statistics is insurance fraud?

What if modified hondas are not actually getting stolen but people trying to claim insurance money to get their cash after spending 30k on old 90s hatch backs?

What if the reason hondas go missing so much in mexican areas is because mexicans are often the same people who spend ridiculous money on civics?

Any one here own a Pontiac Firebird?

I'm potentially looking at buying one in the near future as a fun weekend car to make up for the short comings of my van.

Would you rather the next Challenger remain a big 4000+ pound landbarge made for burnouts and drag races, or would you rather it go on a diet and try to compete with the Mustang/Camaro in the corners as well?

Anyone here drive an FJ80 as a dd? I've wanted one for a while, but know these cars are getting up there in years. Anything in particular to look out for?

/o/, how normal is bucking at low engine speeds when in first gear?

I've got a thoroughly-violated WRX (read: it's a hipster scene girl in her early 30s that probably has life-threatening amounts of baggage that she won't tell me, but she's so fun I can't help but be with her) that has a horrible time trying to move at <1000 RPM. I usually just ride it in neutral and go nuts in and out of gear whenever I'm dealing with stop-go traffic. I'd chalk it up to a bad tune or a lightweight flywheel, but to be honest I learned driving stick by myself (mostly in this thing) and it occurred the other day this thing might just be ridiculously rough and I would never know since I hadn't driven too many other manual cars before going with her.

Not that I mind driving it so delicately, I just wanna know how much sooner she's gonna have a nervous breakdown

Muscle Cars: LARGE cars using large displacement V8s, based on SALOON SEDANS. Built for long range cruising, often seen as luxury cars and were very expensive compared to other cars in their lineup. Dodge Chargers, Roadrunners, Cyclones, Tempest LeMans GTOs, etc

Pony Cars: Compact sports cars with small engine compartments, original sold for their appeal to women and younger males. Originally used for road course racing series like the Trans-Am, rallies and the BTCC. Mustang, Camaro, Firebird, Barracuda, etc

As of right now, no modern day current muscle cars exist on the market outside of the Charger (unless you count large German cars like the AMG S63 Coupe).

>“The high ride height of the trailer combined with its positioning across the road and the extremely rare circumstances of the impact caused the Model S to pass under the trailer,” the company said. The windshield of the Model S collided with the bottom of the trailer.
