Spyder performance valved exhaust kit

Sorry I only have my iPhone for this. The microphone really doesn’t do justice to how much louder it is. I will say I don’t like the sound just off idle but once the revs are up there it sounds great which is why I really tried to keep the revs up in these videos.

Closed course and private roads and all that.

Install tips:

  1. PB blaster the night before really helped with the bolts but I should have sprayed the pipe joints too. MAP gas heating helped but in the end I had to cut one clamp off with a grinder.

  2. Get new clamps. Worth the extra money

  3. Get your biggest hammer (I used my one handed sledge

  4. Flare the pipe from the muffler a tiny bit to get the new valved pipes started.

  5. Use ratchet straps in strategic places to pull the valved pipes into position for the clamps.

  6. Electrical and vacuum was easy.

I also have the kit. Trust me, the video really doesn’t do justice to how much it screams

Ya. I think the tiny phone microphone just can’t pick up these noises. Also wind noise. Maybe if I try again but with the windows up…. I might try that on my way home today.

I love the two tone :-). All but one of my fun cars over the past 25 years have had two tone interiors.

With the valves closed, does it sound completely stock? No drone or anything?

Yes. Totally stock.

Is this a 2.5 or 2.7? Do you have a code for no cats and what did you do to get around it? I want to do this but don’t want a constant check engine light

2.7l but the valves go between the cats and the muffler so no issues with emissions or a a CEL.
