ah i see..does the open DDP sound good though? i just want my car to sound a bit more agressive. i work at an auto shop and all my co workers have only heard supras with 1jz. they dont know much about the 7mgte and they are all asking me why my engine sounds like an air conditioning unit..haha i just laugh..but i was hoping there was a way to just make the engine sound more agressive! so thats why i was inquiring about the exhaust system (catback) and the open DDP..

It sounds BEAST. Normal cruising; you get a whistle when accelerating and when you let off the gas slowly. It sounds great, nearly wet myself test driving after putting it in. When you're actually boosting, you get a LOUD and I mean LOUD PSSSSSHHHHHHHH that will snap your head back lol IMO it's the only way to go downpipewise. If the cops hear you boosting like that you'll def be in trouble though. Co-workers heard mine and they're all 'dude you didn't tell us you got a bov!'

NUR spec drones and is loud without the insert (and with the insert wtf is the point of having a 3" exhaust), and the HKS is a rice cannon that does attract attention form the cops...

Raptor Racing is what you want :D Trust me, DON'T get a normal DDP you'll hate it later on. get a recirculated one (like Raptor Racing or BIC sells).

ah i see..lol your really stressing raptor racing, do you have any affiliations with them? or do you just have one yourself. yea i was lookin at the raptor and BIC ones but the way they have their options set up on their pricing page for both raptor and BIC it just confuses me. all i want is a full 3" DP + exhaust stainless steel. Not too loud but an agressive note. and most importantly performance :] so if raptor or bic could deliver that id be more than happy to go with them...but i just cant figure out which ones the one i need! help!!

thanks

We have 3" downpipes and catbacks in stock. The DDPs are louder, the standard BIC 3" DP would be the best choice for you with the upgraded CT26. Check the BIC section for pics and vids of our new 3" Stealth cat back. Right now we have a sale going on, if you buy any BIC downpipe and Catback you get a FREE testpipe!!. You can also order direct from our website.

thats prolly your fan clutch going out as a good running 7m will sound just as quite as a jz motor.

eh? just as quiet? im pretty sure my fan clutch is fine. the 7m isnt running too loud its just that when you rev with the jz it sounds nice and agressive..or at least the ones ive heard. but when i rev with my 7m..it sounds....like an air conditioning unit. stock exhaust and what not lol

ya mine done sound like a ac unit. maybe your ac pump is going out then. if you've never heard a proper sounding 7m then you wouldnt know. there just as quite as a jz just with a different sound. ie the difference between a honda and a tc.

Just a very happy customer, I don't have their recirculated DDP yet, but was planning on getting it.

Get a chinaman stainless DP then pay DM to do a custom stainless 3" all the way through, you live close enough to him.
Because all the aftermarket exhaust is mild steel or haves restrictions at the bends reduced sizes at those points.

Wrap the exhaust up with a titanium 3" muffler single tip at the end.
Try and find a muffler with optional silencer though to keep unwanted attention off.

Reminds me another benefit.
DM will do it for less money.

The brand name ones cost 8-900+
DM could nearly chop that in half.


what do you mean? your talking about the catback or the entire exhaust system or the downpipe? ive done business with aaron numerous times..just curious what you mean about cutting the price in half and what it concerns
