The most popular exhaust videos of July, 2010.

#1 – MB SL65 With RENNTECH Exhaust

This car is simply unbelievable. Sounds like some sort of cross between a pit bull and a jet engine…so *that’s* what 1,000 hp sounds like.

#2 – Nissan R35 GTR with Switzer R1K Exhaust

My favorite kind of video – short. The sense of acceleration is pretty incredible, and this car sounds like an F1 racer.

#3 – Fastlane 5.0 GT Mustang TURBO

If you like turbo whine and the sound of blow-off valves, you’ll love this video. If you like power, you’ll love the fact this car has 534hp. At the wheels. With only 6 pounds of boost.

Crazy.

#4 – Lambo Murciélago with Reiter Exhaust

Normally I skip the supercar videos. I mean, they’re cool, but so what? It’s not like I’m ever going to own one. HOWEVER, this Lambo is sharp, there are some good clips of a few cars, and if you skip to the 1:30 mark, you’ll hear this thing crank up like a chainsaw. Cool

#5 – Renault Clio RS-R 2.0T with ShifTech Engineering Exhaust

The first think I thought when I saw this video was “Why aren’t the wheels rolling?” THEN, I remembered – I’m an idiot! LOL. This video is cool to me because it’s a car I never would have expected to see on a dyno and an insight into another world of performance tuning. Hope you like the sound of this little 2 liter wrapping up.

#6 – Fiat 500 Abarth with 166 hp – Titanium Exhaust

It’s like a car only smaller! Seriously, this thing is probably pretty wicked. 166 hp might not sound like much, but this thing only weighs 2,000lbs. It’s also surprisingly throaty-sounding for such a small engine (only 1.37 Liters).

#7 – Crawford Performance WRX Exhaust

This is a well-done video that showcases the Crawford Performance 1 exhaust system (either axle or cat-back) very nicely. Sounds OK too, but it’s still a 4cyl.

#8 – 2010 Ford F150 SVT Raptor with Kooks Headers and Exhaust

So the sound quality is absolutely awful, but I’m just so stoked to see a truck on this list that I don’t care. If you’re into pickups, you like the Raptor because of what it does off-road. The 6.2L is just a very nice bonus.

#9 – Nissan GTR with Stillen Exhaust

Stillen is a trusted name in exhausts, and this little wonder sounds like it would be pretty incredible if the camera mic wasn’t completely overwhelmed. Still, from what I heard, I liked it.

#10 – 2011 Mustang 5.0 GT with Stainless Works Catback Exhaust

This video is great because it really captures the sound difference between a stock GT and one with the Stainless Works cat-back. Of course, it sounds good.

The most popular exhaust videos of June, 2010.

#1 – 2011 Mustang GT with Magnaflow Competition Series 3″ Cat-Back

These new 2011 5.0 Mustangs are just ridiculous. With some basic modifications (air intake, exhaust system, headers, and 4.10 gears) this car runs a 12.6. To put that in perspective, consider this: a 2011 Corvette Z06 with 505 horsepower runs a quarter-mile in 11.8…and costs $65k more.

#2 – 2010 B8 S4 3.0T with RSC Cat-back Exhaust

The sound quality is only fair, but you get a real sense of what it sounds like out on the road. This video is also cool because there’s a camera mounted under the front bumper, so you get to hear it and see it work through the gears on some winding roads. The turbo-whine is pretty cool too.

The best part – no discernible drone. When you buy an S4, you want both power and luxury, right?

#3 – A heavily modified BMW M5 V10 with a Manhart Racing Exhaust

The sound quality isn’t too hot, but everyone can appreciate a V10 Euro-Spec BMW performance sedan.

#4 – 2011 Mustang GT with Kooks Headers and Cat-back

This exhaust system company does a nice job of showing why an after-market exhaust can be an upgrade over a factory system. Specifically, they show stock exhaust tubing that’s been dented and crushed, a good illustration of the fact that even on performance vehicles, automakers tend to cut costs on the exhaust system.

Unfortunately, I think this system sounds too raspy. Maybe it’s just the camera microphone.

#5 – Heavily Modified 1969 Camaro SS with Flowmaster Exhaust and Custom Headers

If you want to get a sense of the market for this type of modified classic, check out the comments in this video. “We sell a lot of cars overseas” goes to show just how highly regarded classic American muscle cars are world-wide. Anyone want to guess at the price?

#6 – 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 with Corsa Xtreme Cat-Back

People just can’t get enough of these new Mustangs.

#7 – 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 with Muffler Delete

Remember kids, mufflers aren’t necessarily restrictive. It’s entirely possible to design a muffler that will reduce sound without restricting flow. Cars without mufflers sound cool, but you’re just begging for a traffic ticket if you drive one on the street.

#8 – Ferrari 360 Modena Custom Exhaust

I picked the wrong f’ing career. Instead of pursuing my dream of becoming an F1 race car driver (or, perhaps, an F1 race car engineer or something) I’m doing this…which means there’s a good chance this is as close as I’ll get to driving a 360.

The opening scene is crazy, then the music kicks in (annoying) until about 1:42, where you get to hear the difference in sound between the “silent” mode and the “exciting” mode. It’s a hell of a machine – if you have the means, I highly recommend it.

#9 – 806 HP Evo with ETS Exhaust

This thing is so loud the guy in the background has his hands over both ears and he still looks like he’s in pain. Congrats to these guys on getting 800+ wheel hp out of a 4 cylinder.

#10 – Dodge Viper with Belanger Cat-back

It’s only fitting that the last video on this list is the Viper. The very last Dodge Viper rolled out of the factory a few days ago, the car that arguably saved Dodge from extinction in the early 90’s. An icon to be sure.

The most popular exhaust videos of May, 2010.

At the beginning of every month, I’m going to find and post the most popular exhaust videos of the previous month along with some commentary. For future reference, I’m not going to ignore videos of supercars and/or random Euro vehicles that aren’t available in North America. I want this to be a collection that most people can relate to – let me know if you disagree below.

On to the list.

#1 – 2011 Mustang GT with Custom Exhaust – Possibly a Magnaflow Cat-Back

It’s hard to tell with this thing, but it seems like they’re using a Magnaflow cat-back with some custom high-flow catalytics. I say this because I looked at what they’re selling on their website – if you have more info, feel free to share in the comments.

#2 – Ridiculous Mazda Protege custom exhaust – brand X

What do you do when you own a farm and have WAAAAAY too much time on your hands? Why, abuse an old Mazda Protege of course! This video and the one below it are funny for a lot of different reasons…I’m laughing at them as much as I’m laughing with them.

#3 – Mazda Protege without a manifold

Would it kill that guy to put on a shirt? He looks like Canada’s version of TV’s Boomhauer (spelling?).

#4 – Supposedly, this is a Russian M5. Whatever it really is, it’s shooting flames

Does that sound like a M5 to anyone? Maybe what they’re saying in the intro is “Is not really M5, but says so on trunk.”

#5 – 350Z with a Greddy exhaust kit being driven very, very irresponsibly

I’m getting old, because all I see in this video is a kid making a really dumb choice. I’m all for driving balls-out fast, but don’t do it on public roads where you can hurt some innocent bystander. Still, that ride sounds sick…

#6 – Great sounding M5 V10 – it sounds fan-tastic.

Ahhh…that’s what an M5 should sound like.

#7 – Borla ATAK exhaust on a 2011 305hp V6 Mustang

Borla did a great job of making this V6 sound like a meatier V8. P.S. How can this 300hp car only be $23k brand new?

#8 – Flowmaster American Thunder mufflers on a classic Chevelle

Got to love the classics. Not too shabby for a 40 year old muscle car…

#9 – MRT Axle-back 2011 Mustang V6 Exhaust system

I like this one quite a bit, but it sounds sort of like a sport-compact, no? If I didn’t know any better, I’d swear a souped-up 4 cylinder just went by…not what I envision when I think “Ford Mustang,” but times are changing. Turbos are the wave of the future.

#10 – S2000 with custom sport-bike mufflers

Very interesting. It seems like it might be a good way to save some cash, but I’m confused by the description in the video. Magnaflow and sport bike mufflers? Why?

While we’re just getting started building this site, I want everyone to know that we’re trying to build a website that will become a RESOURCE. If anyone has a question, we want to try and provide the answer.

Keep checking back – we’re going to begin adding a lot of videos very soon, not to mention fixing the look of the site, adding some good advice and articles, and finding some advertisers to help us sponsor this thing .

Thanks for visiting.
