Blitz Nur Spec exhaust
 
So I saw a picture in the corksport single sided thread of someones single sided exhaust on a autocross car. I always wanted to do this but never wanted to hack up my bumper due to not sure how it would look. I liked it. So I took the exhaust off my FD. I used part of the blitz exhaust and some 3 inch stainless dairy tubing and tig welded it all together. Was a nice day project.

I still have some more trimming to do on the rear bumper. Paddle wheel the rest of the exhaust as well.

my opinion? Hangs too low, sticks out too far, and not placed far enough to the left.

Sticks out too far and you probably could have made the cuts a little cleaner.. or at least go back and sand them down.

Other than that... :biggthump

I like it!

Johnvx1k 02-26-2012 08:41 PM

Not bad, just clean it up a bit. I do like the sound of it though!

I think it looks awesome!! How did you go about trimming the rear bumper?

Arca_ex 02-28-2012 12:12 AM

Why people think that chopping the bumper off and hanging rice-cannon exhaust from this car looks cool is beyond me...

RawrX8 02-28-2012 12:53 AM

So to address some issues.

Hangs to low; just need to cut the hanger and weld it up a bit higher though. I can maybe gain an inch before it hits the corner of the trunk cubby hole where the jack is stored.

Sticks out to far; this was placed this way to avoid burning or carbon build up on the bumper. As well as the radius bend if kept the same any further forward would be right on the camber bolt.

Not enough left; this was placed so I could use factory exhaust hangers. If the time comes I want to get rid of this anyone could use it. Just have to cut your bumper.

Cuts cleaner and clean it up; cuts were clean and pretty tightly butted up. That's just filler rod I used, sorry it's not a roll of dimes, it's just an exhaust. It will all be brushed up soon. Also just used a dotco and cut off wheel to trim plastic.

Why/not cool; rice-cannon lol I have flux pavilion bass cannon now in my head lol. Trying to be cool, na. Did this because, well I can. My car isn't a gem, its littered in cone mark battle scars.

Those whom like it thanks. Those who dont, thanks for your opinions. I will tweak it more as people suggest more ideas. :)

At least he is trying to be somewhat different. You don't mod your car to make other people happy, you do what you like and makes you happy. I wouldn't do it to my car but I'm digging it. Let's see some pics when you get done messing with it!

Np. Sometimes takes another eye to focus on something that ive hazed over trying to focus on the entire project.

This weekend, if im not working overtime ill take an afternoon to change some things.

2 thumbs up for originality!!!

Technically JIC takes the originality card. I just took the idea of cutting the bumper. Thanks though ;) someone really wanted this I'd sell it. Everything's always for sell, if prices are right...

Fr430n 03-05-2012 07:16 PM

Damn, wish I had the cash but sorry, I'm just a broke specialist in the army!

I like this a million times more than stock anyday!

Question though: did this trigger a CEL?

RawrX8 03-06-2012 10:06 AM

No CEL, its just a cat back.
