With all of the different opinions about which exhaust is better sounding, how about everyone posts a sound clip and we can hear all the options...and a pic to see the install...

100% stock system with rear muffler removed and straight piped. Out of 3 aftermarket exhausts ive put on the car it was the best sounding one. Im back to the stock setup for now, was getting tired after 3 years of having noise like that, but im starting to miss it, ill redo it when spring comes
I only have video....but..here you go. (a sound clip of my car idling is at the end (no music.) Enjoy. It is VERY similar to Ryan's car (thought it was cool, so I decided to stick one on mine. *bow down and worship the guru*
"OOO!" :) Stainless steel resonators gone....etc etc.....

do i got to post a clip again or has everyone pretty much heard mine?? lol
just go to youtube and search "aveo with mods (tach view) and u should find me...
i tried to record mine with my digital camera, but that ended up sounding like total ****.
any tips on what to use and where to put it?
is the best way to get it is not in front of the pipe, more like behind it or 90* to the tailpipe?
Actually Mike, it was your post that made me wonder what sound I like best out there..LOL I like the look of your exhaust...clean, not a huge pipe, etc...Quote:

i should make a vid with the silencers on....maybe in a few hours i will go out and make one up.
and i gotta figure out where the leak is comin from, i got it repiped but it still sounds leaky. and now since i got the silencers in thats all u hear outside of the car. damn...
a good tip: u gotta have a good camera or a cam with a good mic on it. the one i got isnt that great and well, it dont do my car justice sometimes.Quote:

for you guys that are on the fence about getting or not getting a CF hood...go for it! it really looks sharp on Mike's car.
:D thanks ron!
i actually had an idea for a new clip when a new cam is acquired, i wanna set the cam under the car pointed up at the mufflers, prolly bout 2 feet back under the car. i just wanna see how it would look.
heres my exhaust, its a 2 inch piping from the flex pipe back, it has a highflow resonator with an apexi world sport muffler...

Sorry, its low quality...taken from my point and shoot camera

im also gonna upload a video that has what it sounds when im driving the car
we need better cameras. it does ur car no justice at all...
yeah, my camera makes it sound like ****, i need to invest in a good camcorder

what are they found in?
the suzuki forenza i believe
hmm... well then...
truth.Quote:

its in more cars then just the forenza...theres the reno, optra, and lacetti

heres a link to more info on his optra :? but from what he is saying it sounds like the u20sed wouldnt be a good swap idea if you plan to boost because after 200ft lbs the tranny breaks....this also mean that the aveo's tranny will probably brake under less torque than that since it is rated lower than that. since its D16 (or F16 i forget which) itll probabyl only hold til 160 ft lbs
If 200ft-lbs is the max, that would mean the engine would be developping about 225-230 at the crank (12-15% loss thru the drivetrain). In metric that's 302 to 310 N-m.
Now if the assumption that the number in the model means the amount of Nm the transmission is rated for, a D20 would be rated at 200Nm. With a security factor of 1.5, that would mean the transmission is built to break at 300Nm (200*1.5=300), which would explain why the transmission always breaks at 200ft-lbs (at the wheel).
In my engineering courses, we used 1.5 to 3 usually to design things, sometimes more if it were a beam for buildings or bridges. Therefore a 1.5 security factor would make sense to me, since a transmission is not a device that will put any people at risk (compared to a bridge).
If we put this theory to the D16 transmission, that would mean 160*1.5=240Nm. 240Nm = 178ft-lbs. With a 12-15% loss, that would mean 155-160ft-lbs at the wheels would break the transmission.
wow that sucks....160ft-lbs huh? hmm....what can we do to reinforce it? i know from experience that this tranny has pretty weak mounts...ive broken one at 3k miles before :lol:
nothing really besides getting a better one like d20 or f20 or the 6spd one f28 i think
