Can you record a clip of its exhaust? I'd love to hear it.

I think you should put on some zoomies with flaps.

ummm....   

[The Pirate]

I'll see what I can do re: the exhaust clip.  I think my digital camera will do sound. 

As to the second request, I don't know what zoomies with flaps are...

These are zoomie-esque

[68_427]

Zoomies.




Use a flap to open and close then as you wish.

[Eye of the Tiger]

But it will be better because you will have five.

[The Pirate]

Yeah, not sure the zoomies are going to happen.  I do need to do something with the exhaust though.  A buddy of mine is in an auto tech program locally, and he's going to take a look (exhaust stuff is something I have little experience with and I'm not currently equipped to tackle that type of project).  Switching to a side exit exhaust ahead of the rear axle has not been ruled out yet. 

More than likely, I'll keep the stock locations/routing.  Cat is gutted, and I'm thinking of losing the resonator, then running pipe back to a decent muffler (Bosal or Magnaflow or something) to DTM style exhaust tips.

Don't you remember how Ron was practically having sex with that S-5 at the auto show a couple of years ago? 

How could I forget?  The Audi display was the only one that we were asked to leave.  At least they gave him his pants back.

to both of you!  And congrats on the car, Adam.  That's a sweet ride and classic!

Gutted cat + res delete + aftermarket muffler = you better be ready to deal with that noise day in, day out.

In all honestly, I love my car's exhaust but at the same time when I drive a normal car for a while and go back to it, I can't believe it's that loud. Not that I mind though

Same here.  It makes me want to play this:

That looks kinda cool.

It's a second car, so I don't really care too much.  And it will be quieter than it is now - the cat is gutted already and there is a large break in the pipe just aft of that.  Properly sealed up, it shouldn't be too terrible. 

[Raza]

That looks kinda cool.

When things slow down a little, I'm going to download it and play it. 

Adam, the Audi looks good.

Thanks.  It's a really fun car. 

[Raza]

Yup.  Time to push that Mazda off a cliff for the insurance money.  Then we triple it in Vegas, and blow it all on going to churches and throwing the money around pretending it's a strip club. 

[Madman]

Friggin' beautiful!!!!!  Please don't lower it or put a stupidly loud exhaust on it.  An amazingly original car such as this needs to be preserved.

[giant_mtb]

Yes .  Erase the silly roof rack, get some larger wheels, and it'll look like a CHAMP.

[Rupert]

Ha!

No way. Leave the roof rack, lower it. Skip the mondo wheels, do the exhaust.

[Eye of the Tiger]

No way. Get a bigger roof rack, lift it, put ATV tires on it, and do zoomies.

[Cookie Monster]

I think lowered on stock wheels with the roof rack on there would be awesome.

[mzziaz]

Neat car!

A former coworker had one of those and loved it.

you still have the SVT Contour, right? What exhaust setup do you have on it?

[Secret Chimp]

I'm sure you've seen this, but... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkXJST4bExs

That thing sounds like an angry tiny dog.

[Raza]

No, no.  Add another roof rack on the roof rack and get even BIGGER wheels.

[The Pirate]

Roof rack stays, I have bikes to transport.  As mentioned, 17" polished ASA AR1s will be going on soon.  Car looks pretty awesome with them.  No immediate plans for suspension work, as it needs nothing there.  Struts, control arms, balls joints, bushings, etc. are all new within the past 3 years.  This car is solid.

[Rupert]

Solid, eh? Probably just needs some grease.

Duct tape if it moves and shouldn't move, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should move!
