3.3TT Exhaust Comparison Chart

[xot1]

Or the box weighs a little under 10lbs. I suspect the weight of the box is the culprit.

I have mine in the garage but I'm being lazy today.

I trust you about the 56lbs!
10lbs box? that sounds like a lot!
but anyway, I will find out the truth and update my findings. Thanks for pointing this out!

I just checked my shipping info from FedEx for my Thermal Exhaust. They weighed the package 74lbs. I weighed the exhaust without the box at 61.4lbs.

Those big boxes are heavier than they seem.

Let us know what you find out.

I am looking at all posts from aftermarket shops and everyone claims either
- 50% weight reduction vs. stock
- 20kg(44lbs) weight reduction vs. stock
Someone is not telling the truth.

Ark saved 4.5 lbs over stock. Mufflers lighter, mid pipe slightly heavier.

Was thinking about Borla, might pull the trigger if somebody can confirm that it actually frees up some HP. Can anyone confirm?

 

[Kyle Vallade]

Also, any boost with Magnaflow?

 

[Goodmang37]

My butt Dyno seems to think the Borla is could for at least 20hp....LOL

 

[Karl Davlin]

Yes, I would really like to know about Magnaflow also.

I cannot agree more

I think we can safely assume any mandrel bent ~2.5" exhaust will provide similar performance gains. The number and style of mufflers/resonators can cause this to vary some, obviously, but in the real world I don't think anyone can find a measurable difference in performance between most of these catbacks.

What about MBRP? I am seriously considering this catback

 

[Cyrus Duong]

@runner1 there's some other thread with reviews on it. Mine is coming soon.

I have read though a couple, I’d like a collective thread like this one to help me follow through. It’s really something I want to add with a jb4 for the spring when she really emerges. The sound of the stock car really takes away from the fun imo

Here are my thoughts since I am pretty touchy about my exhaust sounds / db levels:

1. I would move Muffler Delete up to just below the stock exhaust and rate it at 5s across the board since that should be the furthest extreme in terms of the opposite of the stock exhaust. Then at least we have two points of reference between quietest and loudest setups.
2. I would ask that people try as much as possible to listen to several back to back to back live like at a meet as that is the best way to be close to an apples-to-apples comparison.
3. If people are going to suggest edits they should also note any other changes to the exhaust specifically deletion of either of the cats as that has a huge impact on sound levels.

Yeah considering this exhaust too but need more reviews from people out there
