quiet exhaust

[xWYARD]

bought a supersprint straight through exhaust system put in on yesterday and its well quiet any ideas why? :s

[chinkostu]

Still got cat and manifold? My magnex is quiet as its on the end of a standard system!

[xWYARD]

yeah i have mate i thought it would off been louder tho :(

[marcusd]

it might get a bit louder once exhaust has been on a while.

[xWYARD]

thats what some 1 said it has to wear in and it will , hopefully cause i thought it would off been well loud

Mines noisy with just a cat in. Underneath. It was quiet with cat/silencer.

[xWYARD]

ah right okay

sportex better than supersprint?

[Mike-VTR]

if i remember correctly they're both the same bore size so in reality theyre the same. but the supersprint was much lighter for me. so supersprint.

by the sounds of it youve just got catback. a straight through is just a pipe that goes from mani to backbox. you dont want a loud exhaust anyway, your not going any faster.
but if its what you want, just get a decat pipe. that'll please your ears.

not at all. Supersprint uses better materials.

The catalytic converter acts like a silencer and really quietens an exhaust system.

You could try removing any silencers if you have any on there? Also, a 4-1/4-2-1 will be of great help with the volume!
I've got a raceland manifold on mine, sports cat, straight pipe all the way to the back box, where i have a classic cooper box, which i swap over for the standard one when im having a sensible day. Its so loud its unreal. i'll get a video up for you if i can find one.
