Project Lets Go Racing: NRP 3″ Offroad X Pipe and 3″ Magnaflow Catback

Last week I dropped off the project car at Nevarez Racing Products, so that they could develop a new exhaust system for me.   The new system would consist of 3″ pipe, mandrel bent, from the collectors to the exhaust tips and utalize magnaflow mufflers. 

Previously I had a Magnaflow 2.5″ exhaust system, and while I loved the sound I could tell that my performance was suffering.   The general rule for needing to make the change from 2.5″ dual to 3″ dual exhaust on a N/A car is generally 500 HP, with all the complications I have had I still managed to crank out approx 570 HP (470 RWHP), so I am very confident that this was a needed modification.  However, the number one reason that prompted me to do this was safety.  Project LGR is still a daily driver (thanks to a motorist not paying attention that took out my daily driver) and the Mangaflow exhaust fit horribly.   There were rattles, leaks, horrid fumes, it was all around bad news.   

The exhaust uses Magnaflow 12619 Mufflers which should provide great flow with a decent sound.   The X pipe was made in-house with the rest of the exhaust.   I definatly need to find a good set of exhaust tips, I am not having much luck finding a 3″ ID 4″ OD tip that I like.   I picked it up today, and you can see for yourself how it looks.
