Exec Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Currently running a Japspeed K1, I'm careful about where and when I Park but it appears somebody has unscrewed all four screws, two per exhaust and stolen one of my muffler / baffles. So iv had to remove the second one and now the car sounds anti social... The second baffle was pushed in as they are quite tight to get out (I had to use cloth and pliers) It just so happens I removed and cleaned said baffles on sunday, and noticed a noisy exhaust on Tuesday. So somewhere between this time period someone has taken it upon themselves to help themselves! Can I buy these separately does anybody know? Or just drive around in my car which sounds crazy until I can afford a cobra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I don't know what the worlds coming too. Just get a proper exhaust people that people can't pinch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy10v Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 There are universal 4" (I think a K1 is 4" tips?) exhaust bungs on ebay, you will probably have to drill the new bung to match your existing exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Sorry to read that Exec, ...some people are just scum unfortunately. Even if it's literally screwed down nowadays there's someone that'll pinch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exec Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Yes guys the Japspeed Bungs are 4" bungs reducing to 2" inner pipe The Ebay examples are generally reducing to 1" or 1.5" inner pipe - I just worry this may look silly being 1/4 the diameter of the actual exit As Follows: Pirhana: http://www.ebay.co.u...O_db2SSogOvVqIA Although I read the following thread about these ones http://www.350z-uk.c...-exhaust-bungs/ (why did the guy fab them to take a 2" inner pipe? Just to fill out the exhaust as I mentioned? Jap Universal Baffle http://www.ebay.co.u...awAAOxycmBSuEQ7 Toyo Sports http://www.ebay.co.u...SwT7xCjRRcCJJBw (with 1.5" inner pipe) I'll call Japspeed tomorrow and see if they can sell exhaust baffles/ bungs/ silencers separately... I shouldn't have to be doing this... AGAIN IF ANYONE HAS A K1 BUNG LET ME KNOW! Some peoples behavior baffles me also... EDIT - I'LL LOCKTITE THE THREADS NEXT... See How You Like That Mr Thief!! I Still Don't know where the incident happened - But if I caught them in the act I would certainly bung their exit!!

Sargara Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Maybe I am being too trusting of people but I doubt someone would steal just 1 exhaust baffle! And with the coincidence that you removed them 2 days before it disappeared for cleaning I'm more inclined to think it wasn't reattached properly... unless you park on a traveller site lol Edited November 6, 2015 by Sargara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Tbh, there's very little point using the baffles on the K1 unless you're putting them in for track work: The whole point of the K1 is that it's VERY LOUD INDEED! You'd be better off just removing the exhaust, and getting a better quality one put on there that's not so loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Some invisible guy stole my wheel once, overtook me rolling it down the road! Either that or I forgot to do up my wheel nuts... Are you sure you just didn't forget to do the nuts up on that one? I doubt the black market for a used crapspeed exhaust bung is very large. Maybe it's a scam? They'll then offer to sell it back to you on here! Bloody scam artists, coming on here and selling us our own stuff back! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exec Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) I tightened the four screws tight... It didn't vibrate out.. I struggle to get them in and out even without screws holding them in! One was pushed inward and the offender obviously struggled to get it out. Four spring tensioned nuts don't fall out like that.. There isn't a particular market for crapspeed baffles as you say. maybe some numpty thought they were platinum or something after I cleaned the crap from from the outsides... Having shelled out for a new y pipe, four Mitchelin pilot super sports and some paintwork I'm holding off replacing the crapspeed for now. If I haven't found a replacement oem baffle by end of this weekend I'm ordering those toyo style baffles.. Ridiculously loud exhaust, not in a good way as people say.

AliveBoy Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 You'd be surprised at the pressure that the exhaust puts out. I had some baffles which were secured in by two metal tabs fastened with a screw through the tail pipe. Over one morning on track the baffle managed to twist inside the exhaust to point down a bit. Also, if you tightened the bolts up on a fresh day, the heat of the exhaust could have loosened the bolts a bit causing the vibrations over a couple of days to undo the bolts. When the bolts are cold they'd be less tolerance in the threads meaning that when hot they'd be less tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1 6RYF Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) I have a japspeed K1 and don't use the baffles very often. I'd be happy to sell you them (as a pair, as you can tell i would have no use for one) PM me with an offer. Thanks Edited November 7, 2015 by M1 6RYF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gudzy Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I had a K1 many moons ago and lost a few screws in the process, if I didn't do them up really tight using pliers they would come out. I wouldn't definately rule out that they haven't just fallen off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't definately rule out that they haven't just fallen off. I have lost 2 screws via vibrations but the bungs / baffles stayed in. it does take some force to get them out. if i was sure i wanted them in on a permanent basis, i would rivet them in.

Juggalo Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 What an odd thing to steal. I'd have thought the Cats would be the number one target on an exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
