MDTURBO Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 For anything over $500, it better ALL be stainless down to the bolts! That's just rediculous. It looks like a joe's muffler shack special.

Crucial Racing Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Lol ... we're waiting on the prototype! btw -- if you're ever wondering if a flange or something isn't stainless steel, get a magnet. It wont stick to stainless but it will stick to mild steel. A lot of companies sell exhausts that are "full stainless piping" and they specifically say 'piping' because the flanges and welds aren't. Anyway, easy way to check Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, easy way to check Jeremy Well not totally true. They could use 400 series stainless steel which IS magnetic . I'd specifically ask if the flanges are stainless. 300 series stainless ( which most stainless exhausts are) ISN'T magnetic as Jeremy has said.

hovied Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Yeah, agree with everyone.....after a few weeks of wear, I have the same "whistle" coming outta my left muff also.......very strange, very annoy'n....

Legasee Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Damn Sean! The Megan catback should be pretty nice, but you might want to have a doctor check that out! What I need is some sound therapy from Megan Racing Institute for the hearing impaired....so u got the cure??!! (oh...and the "whistling from the left and WATER DRIPPING from the weld..."...is not acceptable, mmkay!) In Taiwan now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubieRU Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Same here... Whistling from the left and water dripping from the weld where the tip is welded on.... My Bosal isn't whistling or dirpping water yet, but I had it on for just over a month. The right can is hanging lower than the left one though, and I fully join in the comments on POS welding quality and the inferior look in general. I have to give credit to the sound though -- it's exactly what I wanted. How long on average did it take you guys (those affected) to notice the whistling/dripping after you did the install?

BOXRPWR Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 My did it when I started it for the first time. BTW - just shipped the P.O.S. back to mspt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opie Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Hey BOXRPWR are you sure it was rust near the weld at the tip? I was checking out the one on display at the local dealer and noticed some reddish-brown residue in the same spot as yours...but it wasn't rust, it was dried up polishing compound. I'll agree that the welds are pretty sorry looking (I remember my SPT/Bosal exhaust for my old RS had awesome welds, wonder why the difference) but my SPT and the one on display had flanges that appeared to be stainless (I'll try the magnet trick tomorrow). My exhast has been on for over a month (in humid, close to the beach Florida) with no signs of rust... Wondering if you got a bastard exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOXRPWR Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 not sure if the brown crap was rust or caked up polishing compound...but it shouldn't be there whatever it is. And my flanges were clearly rusting. And one can leaked audibly when first started. And the mid-pipe had a dumbass 1" extension klugged onto it. no excuses. it was crap. glad its gone and now I appreciate my Greddy that much more.

scans007 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Yeah, finally got under the car.....no rust here, didn't have much of the polishing compound either (prob burnt off)......just blob welds, and a whistle'n left muffler.....I love the tone and sound of this exhuast, after hearing almost all of them out there.....this is by far my #1 on sound, and I get great performace from it. I'm with Edmund on this one, I'm just gonna try and get my muffler replaced.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsalicru Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 ...and I get great performace from it. Its interesting you mention this because BOXRPWR notes noticeably slower boost response with this exhaust. "some say, his arms are made of coiled adamantium fibers. And that he tops his cereal with nuts and bolts. All we know is, he's called the Jose." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scans007 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Its interesting you mention this because BOXRPWR notes noticeably slower boost response with this exhaust. Well of course, go'n from a Greddy 3'' wide open potato cannon to this you will see a loss.....go'n from the stocker to this you will obv see gains 320whp is penty for me with these pipes....

edmundu Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I get great boost response myself:icon_bigg ! Almost too much, really....you just sneeze on the loud pedal and you have 5-7psi, and a.25-.5 second later I have 17-19psi! If I had a freer flowing exhaust it would likely be even worse. Some setup's like a bit of backpressure other's(like Boxpwr's) don't:iam: Either way, both of these exhaust's have more than enough capacity to outflow the power most of us are putting through them anyway....
