Is your turbo glowing in the second picture? Maybe the light??

Great sound at idle. How is it "at speed"?

I love it. It gives you all of the pops and gurgles out of boost/under deceleration then when you stop on it you get the loud turbo spool and when the waste-gate opens it sounds like a jet plane. It's a righteous upgrade over the Borla, which makes all of the same noises but is much more tame.

Sounds great.
I replaced my old B&B with a Hooligan. Should have done it a long time ago.

Aww... you will soon get tired of hearing the whistling turbo. It's hard on the ears.

I"M JUST KIDDING!!! I did the same and keep switching back and forth between the hooligan and the outlaw. Speaking of outlaw, we should call the PoPo and get Brian arrested for making such nice hardware.

Grats on the new install!

Wow..fantastic! Congrats.

Nice rear stance!

If you like it know... just wait until you put the real headers on...

mooney265 · mooney265's Garage

That waste-gate is going to get a whole lot louder [when it opens] too!!

sparkysounddog · 12-05-2012, 08:48 AM

Does anyone have a video with the dual outlets Hooligan? Would love to hear that...

oilonly · 12-05-2012, 01:36 PM

And so it begins. No way does one stop here with the mods my good friend. JMHO

Would sound even better with a good set of headers. Ain't that right RarlyL8?

You're all pushing the fellow off the slope, ha!

Our dual out mufflers have the same sound level as single out, the sound just exits in different spots so bounces off bridges and the like.

Here is what it sounds like when you add the tuned headers. This fellow didn't know at the time he had a boost leak so never reached the screaming F-car sound you get at full boost.

Yes - the only criticisim of Brians headers and muffler is that the car can sound like a Ferrari at times

Especially (to my ears) at high rpms but less than full boost - once the wg opens there's no mistaking that it's a turbocharged flat six!!

torresmd · 12-06-2012, 06:13 AM

I love the way my car sounds with Brians headers and hooligan exhaust. That video does not really do it justice.

JFairman · 12-06-2012, 06:37 AM

True, the Ferrari like sound is more noticable from outside the car while it's driving away.
The stock euro and '86-'89 heat exchanger exhaust headers have the deepest lowest tone of any exhaust sytem I've heard on these cars but it doesn't give the best performance and it's heavier than aftermarket headers. It's well made though.
