Throw an X pipe on the exhaust so it doesn’t sound like 2 inline 6s arguing. Otherwise it’s a wild build man good job

[@gerekappo]

Crazy they didnt do it from the get go. Almost all V engines benefit from doing this.

[@gerekappo]

Btw, imagine with a headers + high flow cats? Ive seen people using 2 X pipes to give high pitch too.

[@tubejorrit]

Dual H-pipes, with the one closest to the engine valved is also a very nice solution!

how do you know this information ? i want to make my v6 toyota sound like a lions growl do you know what i might need? many thanks

[@Alex-wb2yw]

I think an x-pipe and a couple resonators would make it sound better and a bit smoother. Still sounds good though!

[@mozeusmeister5758]

Sounds a bit cheaper, than what i expected it to sound like 🙁 i hope the whole exhaust gets more upgrades soon. ❤

[@commonsenseisdeadin2024]

The exhaust needs to meet, true duals will always sound like a 1980s Chevy farm truck (aka Scottsdale). It's missing too many pulses in each pipe, an X is a must (he said he is going to be doing one already) and bullet resonators after the X I think would be a good idea to with that cheap sounding rasp. Admittedly, the camera is definitely doing no favors and could be much better in person, however that rasp is killing it and without a doubt is present in person too!

[@christopherdaniel2747]

​@@commonsenseisdeadin2024 if that's the case how do gtr's supras's an rx7s sound the same most supercars as well? It's a good look to upgrade the stock setup in simple ways over doing your own thing unless you have been testing for some time.

[@commonsenseisdeadin2024]

@@christopherdaniel2747 I'm not following what you are saying.... I'm about 99% sure ALL supercars/hypercars/exotics that are a V engine have X pipes or a section the pulses meet each other RX7's are a completely different and have no business in this discussion. If talking older Supra's (not the BMW) and GTR's (or Skylines pre-r35) AKA inline not V configuration engines then all cylinders merge into a single exhaust.... And "how do they sound the same?" They don't? So I'm confused what your point is there. The rest of your comment I'm equally confused by with the whole "good look" and "simple ways over doing your own thing" Given the video they built an entire exhaust system, "simple" went out the window and as for "doing your own thing", well it's tried and true (or thoroughly tested for some time) that true duals sound like shit and an X or H pipe (which give different tones) are not only a performance benefiting but a substantially better sound! Only exceptions here are if turbos are in the equation then the rules change entirely! 180° headers and equal length runners into a single exit is one of the best sounding exhausts you'll hear! There's so many factors that are at play with exhaust and how it sounds it's insane, depending on what metal used (titanium, steel, stainless, inconel all sound different), size/diameter, amount of bends, degree of the bends, total length, firing order and more..,.

[@Phantom_Formula]

Needs cylinder mixing between banks. Like tones are the same frequency and cancel each other out or at least deaden the volume of them. X pipe will make those low tones cancel each other out and leave the higher frequencies you’re after. Added to the x pipe, Equal length headers (with the right collector design) will be even more effective using the same concept.

[@TheMusicLeecher]

the misaligned tips are pissing off my ocd lol

[@ThaStranger11]

New to the channel. Just wanted to say I love how enthusiastic Crickett is about cars. You can tell someone really loves doing something when they get excited and it's not even their car or whatever the thing is. I always try to be excited for my friends and family about whatever project they have going on because I want them to be happy about whatever I have going but unfortunately it's rarely the case these days anybody I know getting excited about my stuff. It's refreshing whenever you see guys like Crickett who just love what they do no matter who's project they're helping people with. That's a solid guy. And thanks for the fun content. Glad I found your channel as I've been looking for a variable exhaust for my RAV4 build. Think the Valvtronic muffler is the way to go. 🙏 Alright back to the video I can't wait to hear the V12 full setup!

[@DerekNewyen]

Valved mufflers are so damn cool, I have them on a K series and it's so amazing how quiet it is closed.

[@Danger-Dave]

Glad Kricket took Mike to the true dual version of a new exhaust system, as others have said some sort of X/H-pipe midway is going to be essential to make it sound really bad ass and tied together and will get rid of that remaining rasp. If this was a built 1GZ-FE in some sort of race car of course long tube headers, dual 3 in titanium X-pipe exhaust would get you that F-1 scream that I've heard from such builds and been infatuated with ever since.

[@tuggy508]

I got an idea to take the looks to another level, id have black curtains made for the insides over the whites. Dope build.

[@kevinfunk83]

Sorry I gotta say this in your video Mike but Collette actually built a good looking s15. Cricket being an absolute gentleman welding for the crew, always a pleasure to see a vlog with senior Cricket I must say.

[@MajorFactor]

Love this car so much. Keep up the great work! You’ve been killing it 🔥

[@Knuf024]

I'd redo the T-tap power connection. They're notorious for failing. Cut strip and use a crimp connector or solder and shrink. Definitely an X pipe as well. Coming together strong af💪🏼

[@benc.1197]

Once you have the X pipe and headers done, the sound may benefit further from the top of the engine being opened up a bit, maybe ITBs in the future? It would be a lot of work but would sound wild.

[@716tg3]

From one December born to another, you got the most style on YT. Loven the content from your channel etc.

[@freikinpoptarts]

tbh i was a little worried it would be too loud with valves closed going from 5 mufflers to 2 smaller ones, but the Century interior sound deadening is too good! Valves closed it has a tasteful exhaust note from outside, and barely audible from inside. long tube equal length headers and an X pipe is going to take the sound to the next level!!! also I am still waiting for this to get a wicked stereo system...

[@christopherfernandez7716]

X pipe is all you need and then do the comparison , before and after X pipe , great video! 👍🏼

[@coryaskeland8695]

the booth looks great, glad you got it!

[@Blurgamer17]

The mid-section of your exhaust that hangs below the diff can be made into a Cross/X-piped section relatively easily. As for the somewhat monotonous tone, equal length headers can help with that.

[@Drunken_Hamster]

Install two Magnaflow integrated X pipe mufflers back to back in the middle. The smaller cased 4x9 ones so it doesn't get TOO quiet. Then do equal-length headers. Shorties are okay and 6-2-1 are okay as long as everything's equal length. Oh, and make sure the collectors are the smooth merge style with the little spike in the middle, not the flat baffled/dump style. A good 15-degree (combined/total) angle merge should be a decent balance between flow and compactness.

[@RedBud315]

I was a 2nd owner of a '73 240Z that comes stock with 3 into 2 into 1 exhaust but, the original owner split it and ran 3 into 2 all the way to the rear. The car had a flat spot between 4500-6000 and I had learned from a Z-car specialized shop that the motor actually needs that 2 into 1 section because it helps draw the exhaust out from the engine. So I had a shop redo the collector where it went from 2 to 1 and ran 2 1/2 from there back removing the resonator under the driver seat and just running a turbo muffler at the rear. I immediately noticed the flat spot gone. It sounded like a small block at low RPM's and half a V-12 near redline. I bet they have the 2 into 1 for the same reason to help each 6 cylinder bank to pull the exhaust out.

[@Shifty_Malone]

23:12 100%. I'm glad he said to you in person, so you know there is not hate here. It sounds like a pair of 1Js, not a "supercar". I have never heard a "Ferrari" that sound s like a choir of Toyota Chasers. I'll give you F1 though, F1 post 2014. You need to merge them at some point, please! I haven't seen Effspots exhaust, but there is reason that it sounds different. Edit: Sorry for the late view. I saw your comment about an X pipe. Great news!

[@gonzalorolon1342]

Love the century content

[@redbaron77]

I agree with everyone. However you cannot know for sure how a car sounds from video, a x pipe or even better a section of a big diameter single exhaust, (space permitting), would help give it that high rpm exhilarating chest pounding sound that v12s typically have. It may sound way better in person than in video but regardless it would sound better with either option. IMO

[@texaspowerman]

I liked this so much I ordered the valvetronic for my project car. To bad drifthq doesn’t carry them. I have the same vibrant tips but my car is red. I think I’m going to stick a vibrant resonator on mine though, the 4 cylinder already sounds whiny.

[@fabiocarra1997]

i'm stoked on how much nicer it sound with the muffler even with the valve opened i tought that with the open valve it will sound like straight piped, i was wrong

[@Skerplord]

Gotta say the booth looks A1 with those two slam pieces next to it.

[@Blackinterceptor999]

that thing ABSOLUTELY needs an X pipe!!!, Borla has a pretty new X pipe system called the Switchfire, it's kinda expensive though at like 500 bucks but its also wild looking....

[@kumakendo]

The car sounds like you swapped a VQ into it! 😅 you may want to add a resonator in there somewhere along with the x pipe too. And I know I keep kicking you in the nuts every time I comment but man, you should have kept the car two tone.. the thing just looks like a massive blob of black. The pewter lower would have broken up the silhouette a little bit. Plus it would better show how low the car is.

[@s.mhamzanaqvi1880]

Incredible exhaust from effspots century. That will defo do the trick

[@budzz90]

I'm welding stainless professionally in the food industry for about 20 years. If I can give your fabricator only one advice, it would be to get a cone (2" diameter small end to let's say 4.5" at the big end, about 4" tall) machined out of steel and get it heat treated. It won't be super cheap but it would allow im to put any tubing size from 2" to 4" and expand it's diameter with a shop press. For example, A 4" long piece of tubing could be inserted on the small end of the cone in a shop press, and "pushed" until in reaches the needed diameter, than it could be trimmed as short as you need it! You can easily bring a 2.5" dia. tube to 3" dia. with this tool. This would almost eliminate his need to buy reducers in the future! I've done several experiments and you can expand sanitary tubing (1/16" thick wall) to almost 1" bigger before it start to fail. 1 mm thick exhaust tubing should be able to withstand the stress too!

To get a true supercar sound, you'll need to do headers first and foremost. If you went with an equal length tubular long tube manifold with a 6-into-1 collector on each side you would have a true supercar V12 sound. Combine those with an x-pipe and your current exhaust and it'll sound amazing.

[@diiviinemedia]

I believe that is our plan down the road! Right now we’ll get an X/H pipe in there to clean it up and get the tips aligned perfectly, might opt for just polished tips as well in the future. Main thing for now is getting what I already have sounding good before the show next weekend!
