RJF Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I have the same, mine is due to the flexis on the y-pipe rattling against the corrugated metal inside. Must be something to do with the improved flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbrom Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 I guess it's worth getting a y pipe without the flexi's? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJF Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I'd say so, rule out all possibility of it happening again. Pretty sure the Stillen doesn't have flexis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZonixX Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 what a stunning sound Matt!!! ...I have ruled out fitting decats to my Cobra res as I absolutely hate rasp in any exhaust note..do you get a lot of it? Do you plan to record some more videos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you plan to record some more videos? Thanks mate! To be honest you don't get much at all it's surprisingly quiet on the cruise obviously not dead silent but definitely bearable! Go for the silenced decats if you can mate I'll get some more videos up tonight pal! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZonixX Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 you're not making it any easier for me Matt oh man, I guess I will try them... should they be too annoying, I can always get rid of them, right? :lol: ...any new videos to convince me?

GMballistic Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Nice sound on the videos Matt. First one for me was strange though as the sounds out of sync ~ your car drove off with no sound & then a few seconds later the sound started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was my editing software made it out of sync. It was dark anyway and the car was going to fast for the video to capture it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice vids on your Instagram as well, by the way Good lad see if you can get a y-pipe also as mine are making a odd noise from the flexi joints! I'll have to message you when I'm in Czech! I'm thinking about driving to Prague next year cheers mate! I followed you back! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZonixX Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 sure Matt, let me know! ..btw, I have fitted these decats yesterday and love it ...do you still have the stock Y pipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbrom Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) As a recent update I've got everything I set out to do with car except a remap! I ordered a new y pipe off ebay which came next day! You might think it's a pile of manure if it's off ebay but this one looks alright! I haven't got a picture of the OEM y pipe but it was absolutely shot! With me putting the new y pipe on its stopped the hissing noise which happened when I put the decats on. Not bad for £100 eh? The exhaust note now is immense! The exhaust is a lot more throaty it seems to rev much easier now My second mod I bought a motordyne plenum spacer off a member on here last night and had a chance to fit it today Had no issues putting this all together other than in the manual they say torque the bolts up to 40ft/lbs I did it on the torque wrench and some how the thing didn't click so I kept tightening and the bolt snapped! Not to worry I just got it all out and replaced the bolt Again not bad for £100 So that went in all together nicely now I'm ready for a remap. I don't know if I should have a go at it myself yet if I get all the UpRev leads... I'm now unsure what to buy next. It's either coilovers which I don't want to drop the car much but just stiffen the back end so it doesn't bounce as much going round corners fast or a private plate.. The plate will be B12OM X my second name is Bromage so I think it'll be quite a good one!

ZonixX Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 haha, what an epic progress I get that hissing/rattle noise on deceleration only, definitely comes from inside of the stock Y-pipe..nice HR pipe, does it fit between the stock plastic undertray, which is on both sides of the stock one?

HAMLNJ Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I had the same decats put on, but it's worth getting some brackets Welded on so it doesn't make the y pipe flexi rattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's what happened to me mate the simplest way around is get a new y pipe either like mine or the stillen one which hasn't got the flexi pipes in it. I think tarmac sportz has one in stock so grab that if you're interested. I took both those plastic bits off mate the only way I could fit the pipe in Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolagg Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Hey man , can your tell me how the fitment was on the y pipe and decats? And what brand or vendor are they from? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjf1985 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) I got my exhaust sorted at the weekend too mate, my Y Pipe was shot as well. I got one off ebay and it turned out to be a Japspeed one. Only paid about 80 quid for it. My hissing sound has gone too and it sounds so much better than before as my exhaust was blowing bad! Good to see you got yours sorted too. I like the private reg! Edited December 1, 2014 by pjf1985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbrom Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hey man , can your tell me how the fitment was on the y pipe and decats? And what brand or vendor are they from? Thanks! The fitment was fine mate! I let mechanic deal with fitting the decats for £40 it wasn't worth me getting mad about the tough bolts. But the y pipe I did myself took me literally 30minutes to fit This is what I got - Y pipe - http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=271668053708 Decats - http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=221020447769 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolagg Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Thanks brother, unfortunately I cannot prefer since I'm in the states.thank you though I think I still go with Megan racing y pipe and some decent test pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbrom Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Just collected something pretty big from tarmac today! check back in a few hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbrom Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 so today I went down to Tarmac Sportz as I'm only 5 minutes away and I ended picking up one of these fitting was very simple! just 4 bolts and some catch alignment and now my car looks like this. I think the carbon fibre looks good on a black car I'll try and get some better pictures tomorrow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Very nice, ...tbh it can't get much better than that imo. Carbon fibre & a humped bonnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
