Hey everyone,

Im taking feedback from several Scion tC owners about offering an exhaust system that makes running a header bearable, sound wise. I understand that just about every exhaust kit out there, when used with a header, sounds like crud.

Would you be interested in purchasing an exhaust that allowed you to run a header and keep the exhaust note reasonable?

Let us know....

 

i have cash in hand. i want proof it sounds good with the alphawerks and i'll pay immediately.

 

there is definitly a demand out there but it would have to have a good tone. An exhuast that sounds good with a header is key, not soley making a quiet exhaust (people could leave the stock one on if they want quiet). If you can do it, I will buy it. -Brian

 

I want it

 

Yup where on the same page.

 

Phillip, as most of you know, is running the Alphawerks header, our S-Pipe, and our exhaust. We recently installed a second small resonator and he said the sound is just like it was before installing the header. Nice and throaty..no rasp. His wife will even ride in the car again! ;)

He is dynoing the car tomorrow. He is trying to get a team member to video his car ASAP..... Then all of you will see what the exhaust sounds like.

Draxas will make a decistion of whether to sell two exhausts (one with resonator and one without) or just one exhaust with the extra resonator. We need to see if the extra resonator is costing us any power before we can make that decision.

if you get a clip, send me the link and i'll check it out and buy it quick like. thanks

 

What's the story morning glory?

 

what are the specs on the resonator?

 

Chicago_Guy,

Not sure yet on the Resonator. It wont be THAT big... We can make the diameter about 6", and pack enough material inside to absorb the sound waves.. It will of course be a straight through design to keep exhaust velocity up.

 

i like quite and low pitch exhaust

 

still waiting....

 

so the resonator, will be packed with material. not like those hollow ones with grooves?

 

It's been a week, where's the dyno and vid?

 

Make sure the resonator is a perforated core resonator and not a louvered core. This way it absorbs some of the sound without impeding the smooth flow of the exhaust gases. Last thing you want is turbulence in the flow.

Oh, and yeah, make a version that doesn't wake up the neighborhood every time you drive up. I am tired of hearing, "I knew you were coming about 5 minutes ago...damn that thing is loud!"

 

c'mon guys it isn't too hard to get a sound clip and dyno of an exhaust. i'm starting to get disappointed

 

same here, I'm going to need to hear the setup before I just send out my money.

 

From the post it looks as though they havent even begun the R&D part yet.

 

they know how to buy a resonator...

or call their distributor
put the thing after the cat before the muffler. record the sound. put it on a dyno. should take max a week.
