New 3" exhaust project

4" exhaust tips.



Simons mufflers. Center Muffler acts as x pipe.



Catalytic converters from an SL55, with 50% more throughput. Decat is heavy fined in our country.



Welds don't get any better than that. Total number of welds, 66. 8 hours of welding. 20 hours of fitting/cutting, together.



Old exhaust, shown with 3" pipes, and box with left overs, from manufacturing.



No comment needed, I believe.

The sound track is recorded with my phone, and don't give the exhaust note credit. It's more grumpy and loud than the record may suggest.

nice work, I know how invigorating the sound is ! Do you find it a bit loud thouhg on on long highway journeys at 70mph+? I went for bi-pass valves for this reason to close off the noise at speed.
