What will be the result of this header/midpipe/exhaust combo

Post by RF11 »

Roadstersport MAX TORQUE standard length header
Roadstersport midpipe (with converter)
Roadstersport Race exhaust?

Sorry for this newbie question, I know GWR recommends the "Super-Q" Header Version exhaust, I just want to know if the combo above is still possible and how loud it will sound? Or any of the twin tips exhausts(Superstreet or Super-Q)?

Thanks in advance!

Same power as SuperQ with header and midpipe....but VERY VERY LOUD, Race Track ONLY sound levels when Race muffler is combined with header in my opinion.

Thanks for that note Brian. How about swapping the "Header version" Super-Q single tip in the combo with the Super-Q twin tip? Is it possible for purchase? Will it still gain the same power? Will it be more tame than the race exhaust? I really wanted a twin tip to go with the Max torque ceramic header and a straight down mid pipe. If I'll wait for the Max mid pipe, will that be a great idea to go with Max torque header and the Super-Q twin?
Thanks again!

Best I can say is that my experience with header change is that 'most' folks want the header version muffler at the back, and that will still be true with the Max Midpipe. Some will be happy with the Max Midpipe and Twin Tip SuperQ at the back, and I expect very few will be happy with anything less than some version of the SuperQ at the back with header and Max Midpipe.
