Enthuza XR Lightweight

[thx712517]

Looks like I'm not going to be racing much at all next season, so I'm starting to get rid of some of my race gear. At the moment, all I'm willing to part with is my Enthuza XR Lightweight exhaust. Sells for $279 on Enthuza's website, I'd like $180. It's been used for about eight points events this season. It's got my paw prints on it but a sponge will take care of that.

Very shiny, very light, very very nice. It's just that I only use it for points events, and if I'm not going to be racing much next season....

Anyway, you can either PM me here, shoot me an email at thx712517@gmail.com, or give me a ring at 678-654-9730.

Come on now, no one wants a light weight high quality muffler for $99 under current list price for a new one?

[Doppelgänger]

I wonder how much louder it is over my FM.....

What's the I.D. of the pipe?


BTW Kevin, your letter to SCC got published.... go see my reply in the off-topic forum. :LOL:

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

got any sound clips of it? it looks enticing but I don't want to become a local Bubb Rubb figure (whistle tip video)

[thx712517]

Not sure about internal diameter, I'll measure that for you as soon as I can get my hands on my pipe.

Har har har.

[RotorNutFD3S]

I'm trying to convince my buddy down here to buy it. Let you know when I hear something back.

[Doppelgänger]

If i can sell any of the stuff i've posted for sale, i'd def. be buying it.......i think my car is too quiet lol

[thx712517]

It is a 2.5" internal diameter.

[Doppelgänger]

argh... that would mat eright up with my FM stuff. I'm trying to pedal my wears as fast as i can in hope that you'll still have this!

[thx712517]

I've got it up here and at Solo Atlanta, but no nibbles yet. I'm not even going to bother with Import Atlanta or Craigslist, too many idiots.

[RotorNutFD3S]

My buddy said he does not have the money right now for this.
Put it up on m.net classifieds. I'm sure it'd sell pretty quick there.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

A good friend of mine looks like he's getting a Miata this weekend. I'll let him know. I would buy this in a heartbeat if I wasn't currently working on some things with Enthuza.

[thx712517]

Any nibbles?

[Doppelgänger]

Trade for any of my stuff i have for sale? Hey.. doesn't hurt to ask....

[thx712517]

I wish I could, but I'd rather get the money. If I had to trade something, I dunno... Nothing comes to mind that I really need.

[Doppelgänger]

I hear ya, i'd imagine about the only thing that could be useful is the front lip. Hopefull i can sell something soon. If i do, i'll see if you still have the exhaust.

[thx712517]

Well, I've still got the exhaust, no one's bought it yet. As far as a trade goes, I know it's nowhere near fair, but I'm lusting after the Flyin' Miata single exit exhaust, so if anyone's got one and wants to be a hooligan...

[Doppelgänger]

Ironically, that's what's on my car :lol:

But i dunno about trading it.... since i'll eventually be selling the while FM exhaust when i go 3" and i'd be afriad i couldn't get as much $$$ if it's not a complete FM setup :( I am tempted though.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Mike, when you want to, sell it as an almost complete FM exhaust with Enthuza tail end. I'm willing to bet it'd sell just fine.

But, you guys might want to swap and see what you think after that and then go from there. It's local. :)

[Doppelgänger]

I was thinking about asking if Kevin might want to bring it over and let me put it on and hear what it sounds like on my car and see if he'd want to trade for my FM [turbo] single.

[thx712517]

Where you at, yo? We could always bring it to the dealership over here and monkey around on the lift like big boys.

[Doppelgänger]

where is the dealership? I live over in Cham-Woody









end of line.

[thx712517]

Saturn of Marietta, highway 41 and Delk Rd. a bit north of Dobbins. Know where Jim Ellis Mazda is? Right down the hill from them. I'm working Saturday, off at 4, I wouldn't mind driving toward you a bit if necessary. You know as well as I do how much gas is going for right now, especially premium.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Thinking about it, that turbo single is probably going to be loud on an n/a car.

[Doppelgänger]

Hmmmm. I take it you live north of there too? I was going to suggest coming over to my house and doing it in the garage here. Luckily, the cars don't need to go on a lift to do just the muffler section.
Racking my car is such a PITA because it's so low.









end of line.

[thx712517]

I'm up in Marietta, you know where Dallas Highway hooks up with Due West? Maybe we should switch to PM's before we go swapping addresses.

[thx712517]

Thinking about it, that turbo single is probably going to be loud on an n/a car.


See, now I'm kinda worried. Went over to FM's site and yeah, big red letters saying nasty loud, not cool loud. Hmm. Tell you what dude, if you can come up with the money in a month's time, I'll just hold it for you and you can keep your FM stuff.

[Doppelgänger]

Unfortunatly that means im back to it depending on selling some of my junk :lol: Maybe someone will nab my steering wheel.....

[RotorNutFD3S]

Well, I told Kris he has some time, and he's interested again. We'll see who gets the money first. :lol:

[thx712517]

I don't want to start any bidding wars, but I do want to sell it. Cash in hand is a powerful motivator, no?

[Doppelgänger]

I'd probably have a cash offer if i wasn't have to take a day trip to Charleston SC ,argh.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Well, Kris has something wrong with the suspension. He heard a loud ping when he pulled out of his driveway and now the car is pulling hard to one side. So he's getting that checked out.

[MeFryRice]

Are you getting this Mike?

I know Mike originally wanted this but if he for some reason decides to change his mind, Sawyer is interested in it as well....

[Doppelgänger]

i really want to hear it on my car before i decide.....

[thx712517]

I've got no problem helping put it on a car, I'd just hate to do a bunch of driving and not sell it, you know? I'm about on empty at the moment and need to find a station that even has gas. I shudder to think how much it's going to cost...

[thx712517]

Somebody buy my ****!

[MeFryRice]

Well Mike hurry up man! :lol:

[MoD_Scotty]

How loud would this thing be on an otherwise stock car?

[thx712517]

Loud as ****. It drones on the highway. This is for being a hooligan or racing.

Loud, see? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kwTZ1gSH4I)

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

I really don't think youtube does it justice because it sounds aggressive rather than loud.

[MoD_Scotty]

LMAO! Yeah, I had watched that clip but there's no way to tell for sure on a vid. Probably not what I'm looking for.

GLWS though.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Well you like loud music so a loud Miata goes hand in hand. In all honesty I would have bought this baby if I wasn't already working on an exhaust. I think the video clips of it sound fantastic.

[Doppelgänger]

i'll listen to it at home. But remember, i have a turbo so it'll be much quieter.

[thx712517]

Got someone coming by Sunday evening to listen to it, will let people know if sale goes through.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

good luck!

[Doppelgänger]

I ended up flushing my muffler with water when it was hot... got the desired effect of a louder exhaust now :lol: ghetto FTW! Wished I could have gotten it from ya Kevin, but it wasn't my time to get new exhaust goodies :(

[thx712517]

Back up for sale, didn't have the cash.

[MeFryRice]

Would you be willing to let us install it on Sawyer's MSM? We talked about it last night and she's very interested in it now that we know Mike is going a different route.

[thx712517]

Sure, sure. Like I said in the PM, I've got my radio show Friday night, racing Saturday. I should be free Saturday night and Sunday.

[Sawyer]

I've already PM'd him!

[Doppelgänger]

You mean now that i watered my muffler :lol:

I think it'll sound great on the MSM!

[RotorNutFD3S]

:lol:
That needs a write up.

[MeFryRice]

We're picking it up on Sunday and will produce a sound clip for everyone since the only one on YouTube sucks.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Sweet! Addin' more parts to the MSM.

[MeFryRice]

Yup. Next is a much needed drop. :)

[RotorNutFD3S]

Yeah. 4x4 edition Miatas aren't too cool.
When are y'all going to break into the intake and upper exhaust areas?

[Sawyer]

When Laurabeth gets some more money!!!

[RotorNutFD3S]

Ah. So when is that? lol

[Sawyer]

Seems like never.
Economy is bad so tips are bad...
:(

[MeFryRice]

You need to start working the corner...make me some money! :D

[RotorNutFD3S]

True. I hated serving when I did, that's why I never treat a server bad, I'll just point out that their service was not up to par and still tip, it makes a better point.
Where do you work again? I tip really well. :)

[Sawyer]

Chili's in PTC.
Haha come sit in my section!

[Doppelgänger]

When Laurabeth gets some more money!!!
you know they make medicine for this conditon...[/i]

[Doppelgänger]

:lol:
That needs a write up.

Drive car until proper operating temperature is achieved.
Bring vehicle to a stop.
Insert garden hose into muffler while car is running
Pull trigger on hose until the flow of water back out of the muffler is constant.

[MeFryRice]

You didn't indicate whether the vehicle needs to be in the on or off position sir!

[RotorNutFD3S]

I like Chili's hamburgers. I may have to swing by sometime.

[MeFryRice]

Let me know and maybe I'll join you! :D

stupid me. :( Damn, I must be tired.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Nah, you probably do what I do, read the post fast, and then fire off an answer.


Let me know and maybe I'll join you! :D


See how badly we can act!

[Doppelgänger]

Oh and it shouldn;t take you more than 10min to remove your muffler and put the new one on. Just remember to spray the hangers with some WD40 or something... makes a huge difference with getting the hangers on and off.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Cool stories but yeah this thread is about Kevin and his exhaust :)

[Doppelgänger]

ok ok ....
/threadjack

Looks like there is a buyer for it now though :)

[thx712517]

Me being stupid, but how does filling your muffler with water while the car is running make it louder?

[Doppelgänger]

It makes the fiberglass packing to compress down and not absorb as much sound.

[MeFryRice]

Is it something that needs to only be done once?

[Doppelgänger]

It does eventaully dry and get fluffy again, so i've done it a few times and each time it gets just a little louder :) It's really noticable when you first do it.

[RotorNutFD3S]

I don't even think you really have to flood it either. I always wondered why my FM duals were louder after I washed the crap out of the inside of the outlets. (Don't ask me why I do that, has always been a part of cleaning my car. The outlets are shining inside and out when I'm done. lol)

[MeFryRice]

I used to do it too so don't feel bad...

[RotorNutFD3S]

OK, at least I'm not the only OCD person here then. :lol:

[metalman]

Please! Someone buy this exhaust and put this thread to death! :lol:

[MeFryRice]

We are on Sunday....don't worry, not much longer. :D

[RotorNutFD3S]

This thread has almost attained Legendary status. lol

[thx712517]

4 PM Sunday, we will attain what we've searched for over five pages of posts. It Will Be Sold!

[Doppelgänger]

LOL :lol:

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

:lol: I think this might be the first thread I lock afterwords, tired of seeing this bugger pop up!

[MeFryRice]

Well it's about damn time! :D

[RotorNutFD3S]

Hey, who said we do things the easy way here?

[thx712517]

Just to be provocative..... 4 PM! Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! At the Varsity in Atlanta, the fabled, sought-after, much described Enthuza XR Lightweight will be sold! Witness the glory of it all. Watch in 3-D as me and my Dad eat cheeseburgers afterward. Oooooh, aaah.

[RotorNutFD3S]

I see a http://www.sixthsphere.com/phpBB3/images/smilies/lockdance.gif coming soon!

[MeFryRice]

Yup, what Kevin said is true! We have purchased and installed the exhaust as soon as we got out of the car at home. It has a nice deep tone at idle and is fairly quiet during cruising speed which is nice.

Thanks again Kevin! banana

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

FINALLY!

[thx712517]

Sweet, glad it works. Awesome S2000, good luck on finding your track beater.
