View Full Version : What exhaust system?

Right, firstly im dead picky.
Im looking for something thats not loud unless you give it some beans and not massive either. Also, i want one that ideally is cat back so i can swap my decat for my cat come MOT time.
I was looking at the supersprints, but wasnt really sure on the loudness of them. I also saw they do one with a mid silencer, but was unsure whether it affects the performance the SS gives. Also would this one be cat back?
Any ideas would be welcome.

My piper when on my VTR was perfect, nice tone when smooth driving and quiet on the motorway. But when you gave it death it sounded nice a beefy.
On the VTS with 4-1 is sounds shit

my sportex straight through sounds great when driven hard but cruising at steady revs its pretty silent, even at 80mph

What did it do performance wise? Much at all? Im not too bothered about this, my VTS is quick enough atm.

as far as performance it felt liek a smoother delivery with slightly more go higher in the rev range

Oh yer just realised you need to buy it separate :).
What does it sound like? Quiet-ish at low revs?
Liam

Ah right. Is that compared to standard? I have a decat atm, but thats as far as it goes. The rest is standard :n:

with the cat back sportex and your decat you will definetly feel a small gain. And yeah its quite quiet tbh look at my progress thread for pics. :y:

that was compared to a powerflow twin exit with silencer, but that didnt make any difference from standard other than sound

Ah right furry muff!! So hopefully it will help beef it up a bit :P
Defo need a full system, but it was that or 16v's. Didnt even think about picking an exhaust over BHP.
