Hell mang, do what you want. Don't let our opinions get in the way of you and your car.

I think everybody ought to be a little nicer to you, though perhaps you should read up a bit more on what is beneficial to your car, and what will hurt it.

We were all young, we all had silly ideas about how to make our cars faster at one point or another. And we've probably all been schooled by people who know more than us. I think the problem is that the anonymity of the internet makes people just a little meaner than they are in person.

Post em up!

NEVER did i say "what do you think of my "blank"", i was stating not asking for opinions on my tail lights or exhaust... i told people i smoked my lights, i put a picture up and they wanted to see them in day light, i do and then i get bad comments, i wasnt asking for peoples oppionion, i just showed them what they wanted, jesus christ, why was the leaf blower supercharger so hard to understand, it pushed 4psi, but people think i lie or sumthing and say 4psi is like 1hp..., and my exhaust, im trying to tell you guys that i did listen to what you guys said and thats why i went to equal length pipes after you telling me that its not a good idea so stfu on the exhaust please, dessertrunner takes his svx off-road hardcore and i havent seen one post of trash towards him.... try putting yourself in my position... if you dont like what you read on my threads then dont even look at it, thats why i dont understand why tom and sicksubie kept coming to the threads to just insult me over and over

immature...yes. Funny as hell.... Hell yes. I have tried over and over to explain WHY things you are making need to be designed in a certain way. You disregarded my advice along with numerous other people's. You keep posting youtube videos basically to wait for someone to praise you work, this leaves them open to criticism. Since you did not listen and now your exhaust sounds like I and many others expected it to.... I found the need to laugh my ass off for a couple minutes. Get over it. If you would have listened to anything we had to say, you would have saved two weeks of your time making these and it would not "sound like a bad of asses smells"

People come on here and read your post about some design and tell you that it wont work but think it out. They read your car was having problems and then you go offroading that is the issue people had. Not the fact you were off-roading but the fact your SVX was having problems and you did it. Then you posted your car had problems with the oil afterwards.

You trying the S/c of your own design was great but people informed you that it wasn't logical. Then came the mall cop story man, that probably didn't sit good with a lot of people because you did something stupid and your car suffered the punishment. I don't recall knocking your exhaust idea but you did state in one of the post you edited that you were after sound like an WRX. They were very nice about it at first but explained that is will most likely hinder your car. You went with it out and found out they were right. But instead of accepting it you said it sounded like a Ferrari. That opened the door.

There is nothing wrong with building something of your own design if you were after a certain sound why not ask for help on how to get a certain sound and how exhaust sound are made. If you want to build something of your own design take a step forward by learning from others failures and achievements.

No one was trying to crap on your design but wanted to help you design something beneficial. Maybe tom was a little cruel in his methods but you ignored him in all other ways he posted. But its your car do what you want Just attempt to accept advice instead of throwing it out the window.

Go ahead, I wont make fun of you. Hell, I'm betting that before I put some glass paks on my SVX, it was probaly the most loud and undriveable SVX's on this sight. It most likely is still one of the loudest. These are mearly speculations because I havent really gotten a chance to hear many others ( damn slow internet, got to love the ol'56K modem). The fact is your SVX is just that, yours, so dont be swayed by everyone elses opinion's of what to do to an SVX. thats my two cents.

I'd like to do some tuning on my exhaust but the emissions test here in "the vampire state" isn't friendly to that kind of thing so at best I could probably swap mufflers and maybe some pipe.Big Whoop.

I think mine was louder.... My sister could stand in the driveway and hear me when I was still 3-4 miles away.

Emphasis on the word WAS.... I have made changes since

well ill post a video, and you guys can decide what it sounds like, dont get me wrong if i think it sounds similar to the ez30 but it does sound choppy...

cruisen_15 · #13 02-09-2008, 12:35 PM

ok well i get where you guys are coming from with the advice, i did read all of your post but it wasnt that i didnt listen, its that i wanted to try it anyways to make sure that failur was correct and that i can learn what works and what doesnt, i dont learn by reading, i learn from being hands on.... i ment my exhaust sounded like a ferrari with the equal lenght pipes, but w/e on that note, i take it back, and its not like other people dont go and do snow doughnuts.... i just had happend to have security come after me, im very sure lots of members here in my position would have taken the route i had if they were in my possition, these mall cops take thier jobs to serious and would have given me a ticket.

so i just want people to understand that i do take your advice, its just that i want to know for myself that it wont work. im willing to say sorry to people if they feel thier advice was thrown out the window. but im not going to say sorry for the cruel insults by others.

Audio nerd in me has to say you'd be quite deaf. Without any obstructions, wind, ambient noise there would be a signal loss of ~76 dB. With ambient noise alone the final SPL at your driveway would need to be ~70-75 dB, thus making the source need to be ~135 dB. Factor in obstructions and absorption you'd have to be up over ~160 at least, probably quite a bit more. Would cause instant, permanent damage to ears. Quite a bit louder than a jet engine @ 30m

Sorry for the OT, couldn't resist.

@ techy: lol

Cruisin, it's your car. If you want to go for it then do it, and **** what anyone else tells you. If people think you have a bad idea they will tell you, but it's your choice what to do. Besides, if the headers are ready to go then give it a shot. Why waste the effort of making them?
