Its on ! V8 Exhaust system pics Grrrrrrrrrrrr

[drifty325i]

Im really happy with how the exhaust is looking so far, full extractors,4 into 1 on each side, then onto twin 2.25 inch pipes, merging into 1 2.5inch pipe,1 high flow resonator,1 high flow rear muffler with twin DTM tips. All mandrel bent and really clean looking welds,should flow really well and the sound will deep and clean (no crackel) also no drone.We put alot of research into this system (not finished in these photos)

What you guys think?

Cheers mate, headers are 1 5/8 inch primaries steped up into 1.75. then 4 into 1 merged to 2.25inch secondaries . Should sound sweet

Awesome just needs some big cams for a proper muscle car idle. Looks great though mate and I bet it makes a fantastic noise.

nice!!! Any reason you went for the 2-1 system instead of dual all the way? (with cross pipe or similar?)

Weight, Also there has been alot of dyno testing on these and they dont make anymore power in this state from dual exhausts.Infact they often lose power and tq .Trust me i would of uses duals if i though there was any benefits lol. cheers

This is a late model 1uz with uprated cams from factory and a few extra bits hehe. I had thought about going aftermarket cams but 25hp and less tq down low for $2000 nz is just not worth it imo

Is the power loss on any V8 or just the Lexus donk? You'll get the torque back as you basically have one huge crossover pipe, so it will equalize both banks. The single is much neater, but doe sit sound the same???? ;)

These engines are alot different than yank v8s etc and they respond quite differently to exhaust mods than the bigger slower revving chevs etc.Sound wise it will be different again, yes a twin system would give it more of a throaty v8 bark, but the single gives it a clean high pitched whale that sounds awesome!

heres a like to a similar 1uzfe exhaust setup on a ae86 , but his has less agressive cams ;)



I think it sounds freaking awesome!

[drifty325i]

Getting there~!

sure do, I had that cold air box on the m20 and intake pipes etc and wanted to use them again, also wanted to keep the factory water tank etc

[E30BeemerLad]

The 1uz-fe is a great engine

Sounds like utter porn on throttle bodies
