VERY LOUD EXHAUST 1.1 East Coast

[mattsproject]

hey guys just had my back box replaced with a 4" st/st sounds very nice but its really loud is this normal as i noticed there's a cat but no middle box it sounds like its straight through plus will i fail my mot?

cheers guys

Is there any saxo owners in southend area? want to go to a meet?

[TupperZ]

I dont think it will fail in the noise just emissions but if its got a cat dont worry about them, just the police dont like noisy cars- well thats what happens round here lol

[mattsproject]

Yea i suppose so mate is there a middle box on any saxo? Thinking of puttin a middle box in to make it quieter it is really loud lol does any1 know what to suggest?

buy a proper silencer instead of messing around or all you'll manage to do is get the back pressure wrong and lose power. Or get a proper 2 inch backbox instead of a 4 inch japcrap.

The 1.1's have no mid silencer, manifold, down pipe, cat then the back box. Mine has a 3" backbox on there an it's loud but you will loose power if you add a mid silencer into the system. As long a the cat is okay theirs not a problem:)

it depends on how many parts:

-manifold
-cat converter
-middle pipe
-backbox

each is about 50 to 70 quid depending on where you go (labour aside). Rule of thumb: if it ain't broke don't fix it. Though in your case "it's very loud", as in not fit for purpose.

guess back box back to something more subtle lol more like 2" instead of 4"

Hi

Text talk is banned first off, you need to write properly.

A decent exhaust system can cost anything from £50 (second hand) to £500+

Supersprint and SaxSport and two popular brands

I would look at spending about £200 for a decent 2nd hand system (decat)

If your from Southend and go up around lakeside I wouldn't advise hugely loud exhaust. I've taken my. 5" one off, loved the sound but too much trouble with it.
