Thermal Race vs Street

**Exanimas** · 04-17-2009 10:24 PM

No, this isn't an opinion thread. I want to know how I can tell whether or not I got the race or the street version of the exhaust. It is not yet installed, and the person who bought it for me got it from full-race. Any distinct way to tell before I put it on?

For what I know is that Thermal race has a 2 resonator and street version has 4 resonator..

race has 2 resonators and street has 3, third one looking like a muffler in between the downpipe and the other 2 resonators where it splits off towards the rear

Doesn't matter to me which it is.... it sounds AMAZING. Nice and deep. I was cruising on the highway at about 75-80 with no drone (there was if I went faster than that). In retrospect, I should have waited to get a downpipe and just installed it all at once, but the install was a breeze. Took about 20-30 minutes on my buddy's lift. Actually took longer to get the car up there since it was so low haha.

that's the race version. love mine, i prefer listening to my exhaust over the radio :P

Dooooood haha, I don't think I'm ever turning my radio up again. It sounds so sexy, yet it's quiet when you want. I wish I got a downpipe though, looking at the stock rusty thing sucks. That metal mesh that goes around it also appears to be coming apart, is that bad or should I not worry? Also, the exhaust sticks out a bit further than I'd like, but I'll fix that when I do actually get a downpipe (some trimming may be in order).

you think its quiet now, but wait till it breaks in...gets alot louder.

Hmmm... I think I have the street version for my 3.0, and I might have to cut two of the resonators out. I like loud. Did anyone else crank up their car when the exhaust was off, just to hear what straight pipes (aside from the cats) would be like?
