hello everyone! new guys here. Since ive been in forums forever and my wife has a tc i figured id join

quick history, im 27 originally from PR but moved to texas about a year ago. my first car was a 454ss chevy truck, then i had a 200whp 2zz matrix xrs. I did beat the crap out of it for 6 years then sold it and got a genesis coupe. I managed to hit +350whp with it but had to sell it to move up here. I drive a svtf and ride an r1 now

this is her car, yes stock! she doesnt let me do much to it.

back in october, 3 days old


few days ago







coming soon

 

Whats up! I'm also from Houston, and I also drive a 2012 Cement tC.
Its really a nice color.
post a clip of what the car sounds like with the muffler delete.

 

Nice. I am also very interested in hearing what the muffler delete sounds like.

 

Welcome to Houston!

 

It will sound good with the resonator delete. I did it on mine.

 

What are you waiting for? Post it for all of us to hear :-)

hey! then ive prob seen you around, i havent seen many tc2's around town let alone in our color, mabe 2-3 cements. I used to live on westheimer, moved 2 months ago near reliant staduim

 

thanks everyone else! will post pics soon, still havnt had time to do this! my svtf is down replaced the alternator and now all the elecrical is going crazy, this is my priority right now

 

I live near westpark and beltway 8. so maybe you've seen me around. I haven't done anything to my tC yet, so there is nothing to really set me apart.
And I do work at MD Anderson in the Med-Center so maybe you've seen me around there. I passed up a Cement tC a couple nights ago on 610 around 9:15pm on my way home from work. Maybe that was you :-)

Where did you get the muffler delete pipe at?

 

cool! mine is stock too! other than the painted black bumper sections, only one ive seen in town with that done so if you notice that when you see one its prob me or my wife! I think i did see on the other night around that area. ill wave or flash at you next time

pipes and DIY intake at autozone

its was like $7 for the long section

$3-4 for the reduction

$3 for the exhaust pipe clamps = you need 2

$14 for the MAF adapt

and $19 for the filter

 

meeeh after finally watching this sound clip i think itll be too loud for her

 

Is the muffler just a big resonator. looks kinda odd for being factory.

 

havent looked at it from the inside but it sure looks like a retarded res. Look like my old 2zz's res but fater

 

It's just a straight through resonator pipe. Both of them are exactly the same. Wish I was back home and I could post a pic of it for you

 

yup, i thought it was straight through, outside design doenst look like its chambered

 

It may be, depends on her preference. I personally love it, not too loud for me.

 

I was going to to head out and get my first resonator swapped out for a straight pipe, but my wife convinced me to not do it now. I also forgot to tell her I did it to her car (2011 Mazda 3 2.5S) so she just thought that was the way her car was supposed to sound LOL. Anyway.She talked me out of it for now, but i will definitely revisit this subject probably next week. Maybe cut out the resonator with a performance exhaust in the rear. I also wouldn't mind adding a turn down to the exhaust and not having it exit out near the bumper.

 

^ add a 14'' lond 4'' round magnaflow res in there, should tone it down a bit but still keeping a deep tone.
