Number 1 Exhaust Installed...UPDATE!!
Sup yalls? So this exhaust has been out for a while and the company "Number 1" has been around for years. I'm sure Im not the first to buy this for the tC, but this exhaust has been brought up in a few other posts. Some say its cheap and a peice of junk, but for $157.00 shipped, I was willing to try it out. I installed a Tsudo on my friends tC and when I recieved this exhaust today, my asumption was correct. This exhaust is a carbon copy of the Tsudo. Im sure that they are made in the same shop in Taiwan. It came with all gaskets and hardware and the silencer. So here are a few pics I took, and I will do a full install with pics and a review. Also, this exhaust does remove the second cat like the Tsudo....but at this price, you can buy a Random Tech Cat and have it welded in place and still spend less than some other exhaust out there..
Box and contents smelled like Fireworks...Hmmmmm
Im glad they didnt copy the Tsudo Silencer
Silencer removed
2.5"
Ok, I was going to do a full install write up and reveiw.....But while I was under the car it started to rain its butt off. I had the stock midpipe half way removed when it happend and I had to finish the job no matter what, cause I had things to see and people to do......Well, here are the photos.
Tools needed...Jack stands, Jack, wrenches, ratchet set, some *****, and beverage of your choice
Installed
End result!...This exhaust is only 2.25", I think it is perfectly fine for people who are just going to do bolt on mild mods. This will probably be the last thing for my tC....Maybe? Its deffinately not the quietest out there, but with the Silencer installed, you can barely tell its there. Without the silencer, it vibrates inside the car...But I like it...Kinda like a back massager
Fitment.....When I installed it....it took some minor tweaking. The canister tip was touching the bumper. I bent the hanger welded on the canister a little to clear the bumper and it was fine.
Overall...I love it! Best bang for the buck......Kinda like this chick I know....but thats a different story Ill save for another time. It dosent rasp, but All I have is a Weapon-R intake. Very deep growl....Dosent sound like a bunch of ____ed off bees coming your way. Very aggressive in its look and sound.
Cons.....Its LOUD!!!!, The pipe connected to the canister hangs really low and I have already scraped it once... I am looking to resolve this issue with another hanger welded on to raise this section.
I deffinately Recomend for anyone with a small budget looking to do some small mods.
I will try to get some sound clips up as soon as possible...but With x-mas here....Been ral busy.
Happy Holidays!!!
