wizard Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 No idea buddy, but I do actually feel uncomfortable driving the car sometimes because disturbing the peace! LOL. I've actually had a person jump and give me the nastiest look when I went past them! It's REALLY loud... but quiet on idle... the noise is bareable if you're feathering or letting go of the throttle... Should still be within trackday limits.

How loud!?! I got a letter from my neighbours about mine... That's about it so far... What's your exhaust setup again? tomei de-cats right? DC headers, tomei decats, ichiba y-pipe & Greddy exhaust (soon to be Tomei exhaust if they go ahead and release it ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 DC headers, tomei decats, ichiba y-pipe & Greddy exhaust (soon to be Tomei exhaust if they go ahead and release it ) Tomei make some nice gear, but wayy to overpriced imo... You have a single exit exhaust right? No wonder why it's so loud...! I've ordered the inchiba y-pipe for my setup, but I really like having a twin exhaust setup.

Ian Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Yup, single exit I don't think the Tomei stuff is that expensive Tomei decats £180, Japspeed decats £120 - I know which ones id prefer *I think we might have gone waaaaaaaaaaaay off topic here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Y pipe we use Motordyne XYZ normally fitted with a Race cat , we find moving the cat away from the headers helps make the car produce torque/bhp and helps smooth the power out. You can always remove the race cats and fit a decat pipe/silencer to give a few more BHP. But running the race cat keeps the car 100% road legal. Q on that, do you take out the cats and move it to the end of the Y pipe, to move it from the headers I mean? I'm looking for something to replace my exhaust from the Y pipe back do you have anything that's good for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you run test pipes to the ZYX Ypipe and then on the XZY you have a choice of 3 sections to add in...

rtbiscuit Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 theres a difference between loud and sounding good i've heard lots of loud exhausts but not many of them have i said ummmmm that sounds nice. its very easy to turn a nice car into a chav chariot with the wrong exhaust.

Dblock Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 How much is a xyz pipe? surely it would be cheaper to go to pro speed and get them to build you something same as an xyz and a hi flow cat/decat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
