are you local ?

why just the y pipe ?

so while I was waiting for some parts for my ITB project I decided to something about the exhaust. After removing my rear mount turbo I went back to my dual exhaust system which was just too loud it was ok before I fitted the High Flow Cats but not now so I refitted the system I was using for the Rear Mount Turbo as a starting point and ended up with this the takeoff that used to go to the turbo initially went to a small silencer being used as a helmholtz resonator which took out the drone I used to have with this system but it just didn't have the throaty growl so I cut the sealed end off the resonator fitted a motorised valve in it's place the other side of the valve goes to an identical silencer then straight into the back of the tailpipe When the valve is closed it just acts as a resonator and the exhaust is quite subtle when open a proportion of the exhaust gas bypasses the backbox passes through the 2 small silencers to the tailpipe and puts a silly grin on my face The best of both worlds

I used to watch wd but never really thought it was that good and it used to irritate the crap out of me when he used to tell people the engine had had a full service when all it had was on oil and filter change that and a re using rusty old fixings on what they described as a restoration I understand keeping it original but not using mangled rusty bolts

pipework arrived today was going to buy 90 Deg bends but I only need a short bend and they were all too long so bought 3 180's hardly any waste and effectively half the price as I'm cuttong them in 2 I cut them this way so I can ensure they are all the same and perfectly square will try to get a bit done this weekend if the missus has nothing planned for my time

I genuinely laughed till i cried thanks Dan

Dan if you don't go soon this thing will be so big it will have it's own gravity and it'll tear your rusty sherrifs badge

hey I can't edit the spreadsheet could some one put mine in 22/3/17 08:30 500g length 12cm girth 20cm(thats gonna hurt)

though I'm not volunteering to weigh and measure

Can't believe we're discussing Dan's poo and if we are I feel I should be consulted as an expert with 16 Yrs in the wastewater industry I've seen more poo than you could believe

Dino no contest....

Dan I can't believe nobody's given you any crap over this post "I miss my pussy" are they giving you female hormones with the morphine ? :p

are you still in hospital, I was reading your thread last night doesn't sound like fun hope you get well soon as I'd feel bad taking the P*** out of you while you're unwell

Just a little update I'm on plan B' welding to the remains of my lower plenum didn't go well welding to castings can go that way and it did so I'm moving on to this type of setup just waiting for some pipework to arrive

Ooh you'd love the laser alignment setup I'm building for my CNC machine then

Yea if we could keep the gold thing quiet please

I would and I'd like 28 days notice please

No I pump the oil in the setup I use only has 8mm pipe that fitting is 6mm ID and will fill it in about 3-4 minutes maybe a little longer in winter but not much.

not sure I agree with the hair transplant thing not sure that's a battle you're gonna win you're better off concentrating on other stuff in my opinion but you've got to do what you've got to do As for the age thing they don't know what they're talking about I'm 51 this month admittedly I have my own gym but I'm fitter than most of the people I work with in this area and that's 30-40 people aged between 18 and maybe 55 of the couple I'd lose against one's early 20's and a cage fighter the other regularly does ironman competitions the only things i'm down on since my twenty's is stamina and hair. so just ignore them

got the filler cap done for the new rocker cover needs the sides cleaning up where I had it in the vice to tap it for the barbed fitting for filling it with oil as it won't be accessible when the throttle bodies are in place

So I listened to it and thought it didn't sound particularly bad but it also didn't sound like a good quality system but then i read the rest of the posts and decided you're just just trying to wind people up. good way to make friends

I'm pretty much making it up as I go along so until I try I won't know how long I can make them but definitely won't cut the bonnet gonna try to curve them back down to follow the line of the bonnet

Ok so I've been ignoring this post but it just won't go away so I'll have my say 1) Exhaust gas coming out underneath the car where it may find it's way into the cabin is bad full stop 2) If you're tone deaf or like corsa's with huge dustbin sized exhausts you may think it sounds good in which case I recommend a hearing test 3) If you just want loud and don't care what it sounds like to me that's like thinking that drinking meths is the same as drinking brandy also see 2 above 4) it will not pass an MOT 5)All exhausts sound different they are tuned differently what you are doing is pointless it will give you no indication what any other exhaust will sound like

yea but with vat at 20% that's £30 instead of £600 that's a big bonus

spotted this while looking at the jenvey site £495+VAT think I'm definitely quids in mine's only cost me £30
