3vze complete exhaust - Page 2

OutlawMike · 09-27-2009, 11:25 PM

When I pulled my heads for a dropped valve seat I sat down and looked at how tight that crossover exhasut was and asked myself if I ever wanted headers, because now was the time. I did it during the install, so much easier to do when the heads are off.

Good job on getting it done, that is a pain in the ass job.

When putting mine in I did a few things to try to protect the passenger side from the header heat. I put a thermal wrap around the starter, I put a stick on thermal shield on the firewall where the header drops on the passenger side, and I put a thermal tube around the e-brake line, after melting one of them. Later on I installed a small body lift to add some clearance at the fire wall.

Good job.

Yeah, let us know what you think man, I'm doing my Bodylift soon in prep for an engine swap, but I'm thinking 5.29's, headers, and a few other little things and run the 3.0 till it dies, hopefully you see a milage increase, if I could get 18mpg out of mine I would keep the 3.0 for a long time. And i'm talking on stock 4.56's and current tires, don't see more than 15mpg right now, and low on power, headers are supposed to REALLY help us out though.

MaK92-4RnR · 09-28-2009, 12:41 PM

Alrighty. Pipes, muffler, and cat is installed. Uploading pictures and videos as we speak... give me a couple minutes.

MaK92-4RnR · 09-28-2009, 02:41 PM

Ok... so the computers at work are running hella slow today... so i'll upload everything when im home. Im itching to drive the truck around... I am in love with the new sound.

sb5walker · 09-28-2009, 02:56 PM

CONGRATS!

Those Borlas are great - don't know why more people don't use them around here. Post a vid with sound!

Jay351 · 09-28-2009, 03:02 PM

Sweet! Video clip and pictures asap

MaK92-4RnR · 09-28-2009, 03:02 PM

Alrighty. work computer internet cleared up. Here come the pictures and videos. They go in order from head to the tip of the exhaust, just to clear up confusion.

Passenger Side

Driver Side

Doug Thorley Emblem

Another Shot of the Driver side

Crossover

Downpipe

Cat + downpipe set up

Muffler + cat set up

Had to cut into the side of the inner fender to fit a socket in :/ ( this isn't required, just easier that way)

A shot of the passenger side headers going down to the crossover

passenger side piping for crossover

Dual inlet for the downpipe

Shot of the tail pipe

Wanted a shot of the bend at the muffler for the tail pipe to clear the axle.

Another angle for the tail pipe

2.25 - 3" tip

Another shot of the tip

MaK92-4RnR · 09-28-2009, 03:05 PM

Heres the video showing my exhaust

and heres the sound clip you all have been asking for

GIVE ME FEEDBACK ON THIS. I WANT TO KNOW IF IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT LIKES IT. Lol

MaK92-4RnR · 09-28-2009, 03:10 PM

heres the befores of how it used to sound...

MaK92-4RnR · 09-28-2009, 03:10 PM

Can an admin fix the image part? not too sure why its posting up an image of the video... stupid computers.

Jay351 · 09-28-2009, 03:11 PM

mmm, that sounds nice!!!! Let hear it spinnin at 5,000rpm

Im jelous!

MaK92-4RnR · 09-28-2009, 03:20 PM

thanks

im REALLY satisfied with it... unbelievable sound... and shuts up when I feel like cruising around and listening to music. WOT it roarrrrrs... but when im going gentle its nice and smooth. I will DEFINITELY be posting up a MPG check. and by the way... engine temp is most certainly lower... used to run at half constantly... but now even if im rough on it and rev it up... it doesnt even REACH close to half... absolutely amazing mod for the 3vze. definitely worth the money I spent on it, i'd say.

MaK92-4RnR · 09-28-2009, 03:30 PM

I'll get a video of me at 5000 rpms

hahaha ( not that I normally do that ) but, sure. i'll do it for others to hear

Jay351 · 09-28-2009, 04:05 PM

oh man, the 3vze sounds awsume at 6,200rpm

MaK92-4RnR · 09-28-2009, 04:33 PM

Just made a quick video for you jay, and anyone else who wanted to hear it in the cab... pretty sure it'll answer all your questions to how it sounds at what RPM and what it sounds like in the cab

MKtaco_98 · 09-28-2009, 05:30 PM

Looks awesome sounds better than my truck now, feel like you got a good horsepower increase and throttle reponse? Andrew did a great job of welding it ill probably go to him when i need to do my exhaust, should post up his shop info.

Jay351 · 09-28-2009, 07:59 PM

wheres the vid??

94greenrunner · 09-28-2009, 08:44 PM

Thats dope, now you should get an intake so shes breathin on both sides! did you have to do any welding on the headers? other than attaching them to the pipe that goes to the cat. or was it basically just bolts

MaK92-4RnR · 09-28-2009, 08:52 PM

ISR is next, green runner. wayyy ahead of ya

I just got back from crusing all over town with my rig... my god. Im in love with it. it hums so damn nicely after 3k. definite horsepower gains, and throttle response... its unbelievable to describe the new improvement

all of it is a bolt/clamp on. but I Highly suggest welding where the pipes slide on to form the crossover... they leak if its just clamped up.... found that out and had Andrew ( the guy that welded my pipes up ) finish the job

nice!!!

MKtaco_98 · 09-28-2009, 09:50 PM

0-60 in 10 or 11 seconds idk what is was before *based on video

kiyobrown · 09-28-2009, 10:41 PM

Probably pretty close to a vw bus before. That thing sounds awesome. From the sounds of it, well worth it. But after watching that video, I would give it a tank or two before testing out the MPG's.

MaK92-4RnR · 09-28-2009, 10:56 PM

I just emptied the tank tonight... rofl got 200 miles of 4+ k revs... im gonna try and cool it on the gas pedal and get a MPG rating for you guys. temp is a big difference already, which was the ultimate goal for me, honestly. but i'll let all of you know how MPGs go

MaK92-4RnR · 09-28-2009, 10:58 PM

and matt, my 0-60 before was 15-16 seconds... wasn't it? i dont think this increased that much to make it 10-11 seconds... would it? lol
