This is by far the best Speed Culture Studios Exhaust video out. Flawlessly executed; concise and jam packed with info, perfect blend of visuals and audio. The under carriage shots to the cold start audio flowing straight into the warms start flowing straight into the flyby’s! Bruh I’ve watched it like a million times now
Currently doing the same the same set up on my 3.7. I dont see how anyone would wanna ruin this set up for greater loudness and intentional rasp. Just dumb. Great video.
Glad I saw this, definitely getting some test pipes and getting rid of the stock cats. Speed Culture’s set up has test pipes and now I see the difference.
Im doing a similar setup but with 2x 8" resonators right after my test pipes, a flowfx 2 into 1 2.5" in 3" out muffler and a single chamberd flowmaster 44 muffler at the rear.
So how did you tell the mechanic shop to set this up And also do you have other links for the borla muffler and the flex pipe ? Looks like the links in description don’t work for those two.
You can show the shop this video and show the finished product where I show underneath the car. Speedculture studios on TH-cam has a more in depth video with pictures. And google borla universal pro xs muffler 400286 for the exact one that I used. For the flex pipe any 2.5” flex pipe will do the job
I was contemplating doing everything except the borla, because I have stock cats and SCS said that if I have stock cats and do both mid muffler and resonators. That it would sound pretty close to stock. But from the sounds of this video, still sounds a little louder and better than stock. What are your thoughts?
Bro just wanna know if this how it goes exactly cats/test pipes connects to flange with gasket in the middle of flange and cats welded to the flex pipe with 2.5 pipping welded to borla with 2.5 pipping welded to flow fx into upower tips?
Hello sir, I also installed all the exhausts as per SCS, have you ever encountered that at 2000-3000 rpm, the car becomes like a big metal phone with vibration mode on?
Best sound so far for the price!! I think this as will be the way I am going with. I was going to do motordyne but nah... this is much better! Maybe highflow catz??? Straight no catz?? What you think??
Thanks man appreciate it! And yes I’m sure it will sound even better with high flow cats , probably will give it a deeper growl, I’ve heard this set up with resonated test pipes and it sounds amazing as well
@@thade6130 Really late but I went with an invidia cat back and berk hi flow cats and I’m more than pleased with the result. Nice and loud but not trumpety like the vq sterotype
Definitely louder , too raspy for my taste tho , good alternative for the price if you don’t really care about performance and just want that loud exhaust then muffler delete is the way to go for sure
Hey man, so you have nothing else done to the car in this video? No test pipes or anything? I wasn’t sure how it’d sound with stock cats because I need to pass emissions in my state unfortunately
Just a question why did you decide to put the flowfx at the end instead of the middle? I know SCS his setup he has the borla muffler at the end by the tips.
@@isaiasmeza620 Yeah my bad I had just realized that too because I was referring to his picture that he provided but that was for the 370 but ima get a similar setup. Yours sounds 🔥 can’t wait
How did you get the diffuser to stick? Can’t get it to stick for my life. tried 3m, gorilla tape, prewipe with alcohol. Only thing i didn’t do is use a adhesive prep spray but i doubt it would of made a difference
What i did to help it stick was scuff up the paint a little bit where the diffuser goes to make the surface more rough so it can stick better, used scotch brite or sand paper that’s not so aggressive
What's up bro. I was wondering how's the Borla Pro XS holding up? I read that after a while you can see fiberglass on your rear bumper and it rattles under hard acceleration.
@@isaiasmeza620 Instead of doing what you did, I bought Vibrant bottled resonators and street power mufflers. However, I do have Motordyne HFCs. Debating on if I should get the Borla Pro XS as well. FYI, I haven't weld it on yet.
Is this with stock pipes and stock cats? I have a 3.7 awd and I did a muffler delete with berk hfcs and stock resonators but might change it cause of the drone and trumpet sound.
Quick question bro they seem to be out of the flanges from eBay do you know where else I can get some it’s the only thing I’m missing for this setup on my 3.7
Yes this is possible with awd, you can set it up exactly like how I have it set up , there’s a different way some people have all the pieces set up as well, speed culture studios on TH-cam has a more in depth video explaining it if you need it
Hello, I’m planning to get this setup on my car and I’m concerned about few things 1) Does this setup effect on performance or milage? 2) Should I get a tune after this exhaust?
You don’t have to get a tune with this set up, you would gain performance if you did but you don’t have to. And tbh I haven’t paid attention to mileage since I’ve had the exhaust
@@isaiasmeza620 What you showed in your video is everything that I purchased but the shop is telling me I need other pipes to make it work. Is this true? Did you need any other pipes aside form this?

Definitely louder , too raspy for my taste tho , good alternative for the price if you don’t really care about performance and just want that loud exhaust then muffler delete is the way to go for sure

how’s the highway drone with this setup ?

Just a question why did you decide to put the flowfx at the end instead of the middle? I know SCS his setup he has the borla muffler at the end by the tips.

Is this with stock pipes and stock cats? I have a 3.7 awd and I did a muffler delete with berk hfcs and stock resonators but might change it cause of the drone and trumpet sound.
Yes everything stock besides this catback set up
Nice I’m really looking for that deeper growl tone as well, not obnoxious, raspy, trumpet🫡 would this setup work for a G37 as well???
Yes for a g37 as well. Speedculturestudios has a video on the set up for the g37
Stock y pipe and no test pipes?
Just the catback, everything else is stock
That sounds sick. How spendy was the install? I dig all the carbon fiber accents you got going on.

Quick question bro they seem to be out of the flanges from eBay do you know where else I can get some it’s the only thing I’m missing for this setup on my 3.7
