it was hard putting it on cause i had cut my finger and had to work around it
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid102/pc2fe01dcc66f6253fc0377169bf92e86/f9bf26df.jpg
kind of looks like nothing but it is and theres also more skin i could peel off but i really dont wanna do that

this was the cause of it the leg was loose and i was scooting foward and my finger got caught between there and BAM!

for an auto it sounds pretty good my last car and this car didnt have an exhuast but now that it does its gunna take a little getting used to and it does sounds great it has a nice deep tone not a high pitched or as yall would call it "ricey" after putting my system in my car felt sluggish after intalling this its as peppy as it was when i got it finally another mod done plenty more to go
Munch 02-01-2004, 11:33 PM Damn that's nice. That finger looks nasty man :shock: How much did the exhaust run you?
Al-Truistic 02-01-2004, 11:37 PM Jason, that looks great! You must be one happy xBboy...I wish I could hear the sound of it! Do you also have an intake installed? As an auto driver I would love to hear the sound b4 an intake got in the mix, I was considering putting an exhaust on first but, now I am going to try the Blitz intake first, instead.
Now you need to make that chair pay...
HotBox 02-02-2004, 12:06 AM it was 311.96 on nopionline and 97.70 for two day shipping so 409.60
HotBox 02-02-2004, 12:11 AM Jason, that looks great! You must be one happy xBboy...I wish I could hear the sound of it! Do you also have an intake installed?

thnaks man i am happy it has more pep to it which is fun and even tho its an auto i can burn out now i could before but now more then what i was able to. i would have had an intake but optauto wasnt able to process the info so my order wasnt able to go thru which sucks big donkey balls. i was gunna get a black injen intake (along with the DC header but that was out of stock)but i wanna wait to see if DC will come out with one so the ait could go into a DC intake and come out thru DC headers and exhuast :D but who knows how long til they come ut with one. i wanna make some sound clips but know know how :? :oops:
oh yeah the chair will pay it will pay dearly :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
HotBox 02-02-2004, 02:11 AM forgot to post these too my xB at the moment is at stock hieght (well almost prolly about a quartor inch or so below in the rear due to system) and stock rims

bBted 02-02-2004, 02:17 AM is your car running stock springs?
Cheif_Thundercloud 02-02-2004, 02:20 AM Oh man thats nice. Was it bolt on and how long approx did it take? I know you stopped during the night, but if you had to do it again....how long.
thx
HotBox 02-02-2004, 02:20 AM why yes it is :oops:
HotBox 02-02-2004, 02:23 AM if you can take the stock exhuast off the rubber mounts quick then id say in about 20mins 30 tops (gota take a little cigg break) the rubber mounts where the hardest part theyre a b*tch to get off
allblackxb 02-02-2004, 02:31 AM Nice! I really want this exhaust system!
HotBox 02-02-2004, 02:49 AM here you go allblackxb hope these do it if not ill take some better ones tomorrow
it sits good the tip barely extends the bumper like a few mm's not m&ms which is good so you bumper wont get all black and it also slants more to the right but that doesnt bother me im just glad i have it and i kina like the slant look

Munch 02-02-2004, 02:52 AM That sits pretty nice in there :)
allblackxb 02-02-2004, 02:53 AM No. Those are perfect. THANKS!
HotBox 02-02-2004, 02:54 AM welcome
allblackxb 02-02-2004, 02:56 AM I agree. That's why i like this system so much, becuase it fills and looks good inside that hole. Awsome!
HotBox 02-02-2004, 10:55 AM i just had to come look at these pics again im so excited haha damn i must sound like a gitty cheerleader im prolly gunna waste alot of gas now just driving around so i can hear my exhuast
ShadowMage 02-02-2004, 11:05 AM hey that looks really sweet, man! Hows the interior sound? (with the radio off :wink: ) I'm looking into getting an exhaust (when I get my xB that is) but am concerned about interior sound...I want quiet dang it! I've got a Flowmaster Delta 40 right now on my car it's WAY too dang loud! :lol:
oh...and the finger photos are makin' me wanna hurl... :lol:
HotBox 02-02-2004, 11:09 AM it kinda sounds like stock just a little louder but deeper
lol the finger photos i just had to put up for some reason
i guess to show why the install was delayed
ShadowMage 02-02-2004, 11:11 AM hey! I have a though/question...could you possibly make an audio or video recording of it?
HotBox 02-02-2004, 11:13 AM if you tell me how i would thats what i wanna do but iono how so were both stuck in a rut
ShadowMage 02-02-2004, 11:16 AM got long cords on your computer? :lol: Just kidding! hehe oh well it was worth a try anyway.
But if your computer is close to where you keep your xB then you could just get a mic with a long cord and record it like that. For video...use a camcorder. hehe
HotBox 02-02-2004, 11:20 AM hol up i just thought of something my cam is also a camcorder im not sure how the sound will come out but its better then nothing right???.... but the thing is i dont know how to use that option my friend does and if we use a place like imagestation to upload pics where do i upload this?
ShadowMage 02-02-2004, 11:24 AM yeah...like you said not sure how it'll come out but worth a try. As far as uploading the pics, I have no idea...I use Webshots myself and I've never tried uploading anything but photos there...hmmm...lemme try and find out. :)
HotBox 02-02-2004, 11:25 AM yeah give it a try and if it works then ill do it later on today
HotBox 02-02-2004, 11:29 AM if not then ill make a new post and ask
ShadowMage 02-02-2004, 11:32 AM Just tried to upload a 1 meg MPEG movie and it rejected it saying it wasn't a jpg, bmp, or gif file... :cry: But again this is webshots and not imagestation.
HotBox 02-02-2004, 11:34 AM so basicly what it means it would work right?? man i dont know i think i should just make a post so they would tell me damn man i need some red bull
ShadowMage 02-02-2004, 11:37 AM yeah redbull sounds good right now...I've been up all night :shock:
Anywho, it means that it probably won't work but you could try it. Just find a small video somewhere on the internet and try to upload it...if it works, awesome! If not...bummer...
HotBox 02-02-2004, 11:39 AM me too i havent slept since the afternoon
HotBox 02-03-2004, 12:46 AM im having my doubts abnout posting the sound clips after i uploaded them with imagestation the sound got even gayer so i dont know
edited: after uploading them the quality went down and the sound is way off i think it actually sounds like a honda all high pitched and what not
Al-Truistic 02-03-2004, 01:19 AM J-
are you going to Exposed?
Maybe we could get a listen that way...and a ride!
:wink:
HotBox 02-03-2004, 01:25 AM i was going to but then changed my mind there is a closer carshow here in houston,tx that i ill be attending if i would love to go to expose but its just too damn far wanna buiy me a plane ticket with shipping for my car =D then ill go hehe but yeah if i was closer i woyuldnt mind taking yall for a drive and punching it so yall could hear what it sounds like
Al-Truistic 02-03-2004, 05:28 AM It's all good, Jason. Have a good show and we'll miss you at Exposed. Don't worry you will definitely get the scoop after the event, or at least the Monday after!
HotBox 02-03-2004, 06:04 AM thnaks man i apreciate it have fun for me i wish i was able to be in that big group pic
Dam it, I wanted you to go to the exposed event, even I wanted to hear the DC exhaust you got. Maybe you could PM scionara and he could post up your sound clips. He did mine on my manifold back sound clips. And its too bad you can't make it out, I will personally drink a corona in your honor. :D
allblackxb 02-03-2004, 10:59 PM Quick question so we can kinda get the idea. go to www.magnaflow.com and go to sounds click any of the scion vids and tell us if it sounds like that. In the recording the magnaflow sounds like a rice rocket!
HotBox 02-04-2004, 01:16 AM no mine does now sound like that let me see if this works
http://www.imagestation.com/video/view.html?id=4189845513&dl=1
HotBox 02-04-2004, 01:18 AM k that works magnaflow had some good ideas for the clips ill will also do mine like that tomorrow when i get the chance right now its dark and really cold outside so tomorrow ill take them again and try to get the up
HotBox 02-04-2004, 01:20 AM Dam it, I wanted you to go to the exposed event, even I wanted to hear the DC exhaust you got. Maybe you could PM scionara and he could post up your sound clips. He did mine on my manifold back sound clips. And its too bad you can't make it out, I will personally drink a corona in your honor. :D

for all of you up there at the exposed event and for
the ones who couldnt make it
allblackxb 02-04-2004, 01:29 AM The imagestation link isn't working...

allblackxb 02-04-2004, 02:10 AM Damn. I've tried both of my comps. None of them open the link. Oh well i'll try again tomorrow.
HotBox 02-04-2004, 02:13 AM man thats ___ ill ask scionara to see what he can do
allblackxb 02-04-2004, 02:18 AM :cry: [/img]
westsype 02-04-2004, 02:24 AM nice setup!
HotBox 02-04-2004, 02:25 AM thanks

allblackxb 02-04-2004, 03:37 AM YES! THEY WORK! Thanks so much!
HotBox 02-04-2004, 03:43 AM welcome how does it sound to you???? honestly
edited: thanks alot al.truistic
allblackxb 02-04-2004, 03:43 AM NICE! I like the way it sounds almost like stock but louder and beastlier. Cool im sold on this system.
HotBox 02-04-2004, 03:45 AM thats exactly what i thought the exact same thing just like stock but just a little louder and deep but you said the word i was looking for beastlier
allblackxb 02-04-2004, 03:49 AM It has the perfect note that's all that needs to be said. I don't think you can find another system that sounds like that. On the vid inside the car it sounds perfect no drone or nothing! I am suprised! On ebay the other night there was a Dc exhaust system for $255 buy it now and my dad said no! I WAS SO ____ED! Expecially after those videos! Thanks for posting them!
HotBox 02-04-2004, 03:51 AM i was trying to get it at 3k rpms but it kept flucuating from 25 to 3k rpms
2fixA 02-04-2004, 03:53 AM when I read "yall" I knew it was someone from home... cool to see a Texan w/ a Scion.. I love my xB, and miss Houston and my friend living off of Vance Jackson... man I miss Bill Miller BBQ... anyway, if you find a way to make a video or sound recording keep us posted and hope your finger heals!
allblackxb 02-04-2004, 03:57 AM The downshifting thing is the only thing i don't like about the automatics. It's lke your trying to cruise but it keeps downshifting. But hey get the Injen intake for sure! When the car is floored it sounds kinda like a boxer engine out of a subaru, and it helps a lot. Oh well i'll have my DC sports exhaust in a few months when i get a job and stuff. Cool, well im out for tonight i'm gonna chill on the couch.
HotBox 02-04-2004, 03:58 AM im glad yet disapointed the scions are released her cause i was the 1st to have one in SA i had it since nov. do you know where rigsby and ww white is?? i live around there ill try to make a better one. my finger is doing better its healing faster then i expected it to
HotBox 02-04-2004, 04:01 AM The downshifting thing is the only thing i don't like about the automatics. It's lke your trying to cruise but it keeps downshifting.

get a laptop and a wireless hub you can chill anywhere in your house and still be on scionlife thats what i do i even use it in the restroom =P
allblackxb 02-04-2004, 04:03 AM LOL. Nice. i don't have a laptop though that actually works. Sounds like a good idea though.
HotBox 02-04-2004, 04:08 AM yeah it does its cool cause i can be in a place where i can do my dirty busniess :D and also where i can think and i can be on scionlife and chat all at the same tym its like a dream come true hahah
allblackxb 02-04-2004, 04:11 AM haha. wow. when i get a laptop ill make sure i do that! lol. Anyways i have a fat test tomorrow and i forgot to study so im gonna study. Anways have fun. Don't hurt yourself anymore like cut your other finger. Ill be back...
HotBox 02-04-2004, 04:12 AM good luck on that test
Al-Truistic 02-04-2004, 05:43 AM Jason, I'm glad the links work! I think the DC sounds pretty nice. Throaty for sure! I couldn't believe I was hearing an auto xB...
Do you feel any more pull when you step on the gas?
I wonder what the DC would sound like with a Blitz iintake on an auto xB, hmmmm....?
Thanks for the sounds...
HotBox 02-04-2004, 06:06 AM first of all thank you for taking the time and getting them to work
my milk carton felt sluggish after putting my system in but with the
exhuast i notice a difference it wasnt as sluggish you can atcually
feel it its not a 9psi of boost pull but you can feel the umph when u
step on it i am a satisfied DC exhuast owner and would recomend
this exhuast. when Exclusive gets the DC header in i will let yall
know how it feels with an injen intake and a DC header thanks again man
HotBox 02-04-2004, 06:10 AM also when yall click on the links does it play in windows media player cause that has a better quality sound
ShadowMage 02-04-2004, 07:11 AM awesome! Glad to see you got some videos up. :D Also I must say that is a VERY nice sounding exhaust from what I'm hearing. I'm definitly adding it to my list of exhausts to consider. I'm just still weary of internal noise though...hehe but I definitely love the sound! Nice setup! :) Me likey!
