Maybe next week the defective header i get from ebay, is repair...!

I will put straight exhaust Stainless pipe Size 2" with OBX SP2 - No Cat and no ressonator!
Lets see how this gone end...

It's gonna sound like s**t, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but no cat and ESPECIALLY no resonator will sound like ****! At least put on 1 resonator, even though I'd put on 2.

hey matt what was the name of the exhaust shop that did your supra?

It's called Big John's Muffler shop. Here is the yellow page info for it:

Hey Manny, put up those pics of the v-band

No problem... thanks for you advise..
Yeah i like to put some resonator but is a little expensive here in my country.
Whats kind of resonator you advise??

To be honest, I don't know of the types, I just told my local exhaust shop that I wanted a resonator, and they put one on.

I did all of mine with magnaflow, muffer cat and res.

its 2.5 form the header going into a 2.25 all the way back

ahh yea, i almost forgot..lol

here they are.
first the v-band and flanges together:



this 2nd one shows how the clamp part of the setup works. just loosen the lockbolt enough to slip the collar over the T part of the bolt, and the joint is ready to slip apart.



this pic shows the "female" (on the left) and "male" (on the right) sides of the 2 flanges. when you tighten the v-band, you get perfect alignment of the joint with this setup because of the nature if the design. good stuff IMO.



and lastly, the side of the flange that attaches to the pipe.
you can see in this pic how it has a "female" recess, for the 2.5" pipe to fit into a 1/16" or so, which makes for a nice tight fit for welding.



and a repost of the clamps in action on steff's (hurley97) custom downpipe/b-pipe i made here using them.



the PT # shown in the 1st pic is for 2.5" clamps.

Did you get a good price on the Vibrant stuff? I carry it if you want to check prices with me sometime.

What's the deal with the two 02 sensors in hurley's downpipe?

-Doc

the 7afe has 2 stock O2 sensors

she bought everything herself for her setup, im not sure what she paid to be honest...i know a 3"vband like that at the local speed shop is VERY expensive..like close to 80$.

PM me a price on the 3" vibrant vbands, ill be using a few of those in the hopfully near future on my own exhaust!

the 2 sensors are:
1 for the OEM pre cat sensor.
1 wideband / postcat sensor for stock ecu
she also has one farther down the exhaust path, after where the cat would go under the car.
im not sure if its an st, or 96+ thing, its the 1st and only 7afte ive worked on, to be honest...lol

Oh a wideband, that would be it.

Yeah V-bands are VERY expensive. The 3" complete set (clamp and two flanges) are $88.95 each from Vibrant, and they don't discount their stuff very much. I can get them for around $74 and probably work in some free shipping with a good order.

my dad said he would make me a sports exhaust for my car (hes made lots for his race bikes and such) so if he can weld all the piping and stuff what parts would I need to buy? i've also heard that I could use 3s-ge headers on my 5S-FE is this correct?

also because my car is a daily driver and I cant really take it off the road does anyone have "plans" or something like that of the exhaust for our cars? if it matters mine is a ST204

You would just need the piping, flanges, hangers, resonator (if used), muffler (if used), and cat (if used). And a flexpipe.

-Doc

yea, the vbands definetly are cost prohibitive for most of the guys, but i really like them, and if you can afford them are the way to go IMO.
thats a good price for them, ill shoot ya a PM when the time comes that i need them.
