ebo03 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Exhaust is milder than expected. But when the wastegate cracks open . Pedestrians and bicyclists beware! It has an 18" Vibrant bottle style resonator. I wonder how much it would change going down to their 12" piece. I don't think losing the resonator all together is an option as I don't want any drone at highway cruising speeds. 5th gear cruising RPMs are 3.25-4k so maybe that would be out of intolerable drone range. I'll try to snap some pics of a few things later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo03 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Or maybe one of these in place of the resonator? http://vibrantperformance.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=1527_1032_1257 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebo03 Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 I just talked to Vibrant and they recommended stepping down to the 1794 12" resonator. He said the race mufflers would not control drone at all; they have no packing just some stainless mesh to provide racers a solution if a track requires a "muffler". They are currently developing a new tunable resonator that they hope to release by the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin M Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Those wheels looks great on the Baja, but sort of a shame to hide so much of those sexy calipers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Yep, should have gone with the MR501 in Platinum to show off those sexay Brembos more. GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo03 Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 I do like the bronze against the blue body. Kind of an understated version of the classic rally blue and gold look. I'm ok having the calipers mostly covered up. The whole idea behind the Baja is for it to look like an ordinary POS...unless you really look.

ebo03 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Disappointed in Cerakote's 2000° Glacier Black. Installed two months ago! Had I known it would take months to find time to get all the power parts on I would have sent the header off to Swaintech instead of using a local coater.

ebo03 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 WC Lathewerks shift knob extension is a work of art! Looks much cleaner than the Subtle Solutions extension which doesn't attach at the boot. But that's an apples to oranges price comparison.

GTEASER Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Why the switch? Better support for the ecu switch or something else? Pretty sure that Cobb does not support the Baja, even though the ECU is probably the same one as the 04-08 FXT. So that's probably why the switch, so the AP recognizes the ECU.

I figured that's why you would switch the ecu for tuning, but was just curious why leave opensource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
