You get this awesome sound at about 10lbs:

That sound for 40$ !?!?!? I'll take it any day...........

I just took it for a drive with the wifey. It sounds so sick. Not loud like a race car but a very nice rumble. Even the wifey said it sounds good. I did some slow runs and an interstate run and I can't believe how little drone there is, virtually non-existent.

sound
 

if the wife likes it, you've got it made!!

$25? Are you kidding me? Wow what a deal! I pay that much for the FLANGE!

By the way, that looks just like the stock-exit-zork I made custom for a guy. Right down to the O2 bung. His was 321 stainless though. Cost was around $500.

It does look very familiar.

I bought this pipe on ebay a little over a year ago and just got around to doing something with it. The guy had it custum built and couldn't take the noise. He toyed with putting a muffler where you see the slanted weld, that's where he cut it...crooked. I decided to try putting a header collector auger insert in to see how it would sound. I figured for the money I have in it I can't really lose. I welded it back together with my mig using stainless wire. I also welded the bung on. Don't worry anyone, I know how to mig weld so it won't fall apart. ;)

Convergant evolution. The one I made was less than a year ago.
It doesn't take too much to remove the edge off the noise but, as you know, you've got to watch disrupting the flow or it'll cost you power.
I've sold a few "track" systems that were placed on street cars and then quickly pulled back off due to the noise level. It's fun and a novalty at first but living with the dB level long term can be a challenge. No more than you have in that setup it can be pulled off and on at will, great find!

Wasn't this one? To bad transportation company didn't pay attention to detail and bend it ......:mad:

Holy crap! What happened? Looks like they got your turbo sump as well.
I hate to ask if they were properly insured and did right by you.
Yes, that was actually the first 934 wastegate pipe I sold. The second generation version is modular and has the tailpipe as a separate piece. You can cut the pipe you have and replace the tailpipe section if you wish. The zork looks like toast. Shoot me an e-mail and I will work something out with you on the replacement parts.

Holy Jeezus! I drove it today and revved it up in the garage at work!!! It sounded like a friggin race car in there. One of my colleagues (owns an e46 M3) was laughing like a little kid. Then I left the garage and it was perfect again. I just went for a drive again a few minutes ago because I just wanted to hear it again.

Sounds great Mark!
But where is the LOUD popping and the flames man?

IDGAF27, I shudder did you knot their head :mad:

Mark , I know it's stupid question, but.........might you consider selling it?:rolleyes: I have some change to spare...............:D




Sorry for highjacking thread at first.
I wanna to take drivers head off and put it up to his a$$:mad:, but...... I got them by the wallet........At least have spare change to solve problem.

The loud popping is there when I quickly let off the gas or decel from high rpm's, blap, blap, blap. :D I have no way of seeing if any flames are shooting, I doubt it though.

Sorry, I love this thing too much. ;)

Gosh brian we could make those pretty easily

Please do...........I have change to spare:D

Do I get a royalty? :D ;)

I just finished putting my stock exhaust back on for CA smog testing :(

Started it up and the dam thing sounds like a 1600cc VW!
Going from a Zork to stock is a real shocker.

Are you not wanting to replace the system currently damaged?

Ben, I made up one of those driver's side exit zorks about a year ago using all our components minus the muffler. We talked about it if you recall. You sent me a length of pipe that I used to replace the muffler. Problem was cost. The replacement of the muffler with a length of pipe only reduced the cost by about $150 so when the smoke cleared I had to get $500 for it. I had doubts that we could sell very many at that price.

We can make one for you no problem.
My "hooligan" exhaust is very similar but uses an expansion chamber in place of the muffler. Basically no sound deadening material. It is wicked sounding but not deafening like a zork.
LOTS of options and configurations.

Brian, don't get me wrong. I love setup you made for Kevin from Ojai, CA( that is his car in my possession) in Sept. 2007 and I am working on it to fix . It isn't that bad as it looks.
Based on your WG pipe ,I am trying to make one piece pipe(no welds).
Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but I assume, Zork is the center pipes name ( one that goes out of turbo) ? If it is so, I am fixing it too.
Some one pointed ebay listing for an air injection lines- I ordered those. Basically all will be good.

But, as much as I love current noise ( cannot call it sound) and spitting fire out of Zork (?) on daily basis it is too much. Even though I am not using as DD.
Cops in town knows I am comming, as soon as I roll out of the garage . and town is three miles away :)

yeah I remember and that sounds about right

Sorry for the highjack but how about this:

Brian, is it good to have the O2 bung that close to the turbo outlet?

Love it:D ...........and need a tissue
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/wat3.gif

Do I have enough change to spare?

Is there any problem with putting O2 sensor after the muffler?
Surely this would avoid heat-related problems and as long as it is far enough from the outlet, dilution from outside air shouldn't be a problem?

The O2 bung position is a compromise. For tuning purposes it is fine; leaving the sensor near the turbo permanently will likely shorten the sensor's life.
The 180 pipe is adjustable and used for many different tailpipe configurations. The O2 sensor angle can end up in a spot that is hard to access or less than 180*/level.

Are you selling it ?

Hey Mark!!! what suppppppppp!!! long time no see. glad to see your car on the road again. now that you put all that work in it, time to sell???ajajajajaj
that car sounds good. I'm gonna havr to head your way and check it out in person...

Jose!!! I've been wondering what happened to you. Come on over and hear it in all it's glory. The video doesn't do it justice.

Yes, the version shown is center outlet muffler with a 934 style waste gate dump pipe. (The picture only shows the tailpipe portion of the 934 W/G dump).
You can see that muffler and other versions on my website listed below in my signature line. Look under "new items".
I'm putting together a few right now, shoot me an e-mail or phone call and we'll work it out.

Hey Brian, is there any chance that just the exit pipe from the muffler will be available (for sale) by itself? The pipe that curves back under the muffler and acts as a zork. Being that I already have your "muffler", I was thinking I could just remove my passenger side exit pipe, and bolt this on. Send me a PM if you prefer to discuss off-line.

Thanks,
Jeff

Yes, all parts are modular which allows you to mix-and-match for a different look without buying a completely new system.
I'll e-mail you pricing.

Brian, you have PM

PM Box is full. Please e-mail me at Brian@RarlyL8.com
Thanks.
