GUG new exhaust

[Karan]

as it bkew centre scorp open... i had it cut out and straught thrus put in for Ԛ£70 from my mates at powerflow

sounds no louder....not hollow anymore... sounds very muscular now but has lost that rip it used to make that was down to the shagged centre

power seems more linear.... no loss but i cant really say ive gained... so al in all im happy that i can drive it round without my ears bleeding due to a blown open centre

[Karan]

so id recommend for the sake of Ԛ£70.. to anyone whose centre goes.... get straight pipes.....

[tylerma]

nice one matey
cant wait to hear it

[jmc330i]

So its only got the back box now? Is that a scorpian box as well?

[Karan]

yep scorpion rearbox all scorpion pipes.....

and racing dynamics manifold

sounds meaty now whereas it sounded hollow and tinny before

[Davenotouring]

Sounded nice as it was before!

That hollow sound rules!!

Hope it's better than before!

[Karan]

its lost that hollow sound that was cos of the centre scorp section all being broken inside.....

makes a sweet pulsing sound now....

its still unique though which is what i wanted

[jmc330i]

So it isnt too loud with just a back box?

I put mine together in a rush for Gaydon, so I didnt bother with a centre box, but with the probs Ive had I still havent started it up, so I have no idea how it will sound or how loud it will be.
Im hoping for a sweet, burbling kind of thing

Seems the car is off the road for a bit longer, I was going to put in a centre box of some sort, but I may just leave it now, if yours isnt overly loud.

I always found that stainless systems give a really tinny exhaust note. My mates Astra V6 conversion weve just done is using the Astras stainless exhaust and that sounds really bad.

[Karan]

loudness level is perfct

[BrAdZ]

sweet thats exactley what im going to do then!!!

Have been looking around for a centre section as my middle box has more holes than a sive, altho it did sound good..... But it doesnt anymore the holes got so big!! You can cover the exhaust end and it will still run like normal!!

[H-M3]

what about the mot?

[Karan]

MOT will be fine.....

as long as its not blowing and there is a silencer present its ok i guess

obviously no cat is required neway on an f plate, and mine didnt have one neway

[BrAdZ]

Yes it will be fine, only had one box on my 84 capri, that went through no questions asked

[Stevin]

Hmmm... I'm thinking I might take out my center box then, cause it catches on everything (dual 57mm) I think I might need to bigger back box then, cause mine is like half the size of a stock 325i

[jmc330i]

Hmmm... I'm thinking I might take out my center box then, cause it catches on everything (dual 57mm)

Thats what I thought with mine. The 57mm pipes hang down enough, if I get a box in there as well its going to be even lower. I used to catch the standard 325i centre box quite regularly.

[Stevin]

So glad I'm not the only person who has that problem.

I got mine lifted up, and now it hits the car when I go over bumps...arggg

[Karan]

thats how my scorpion centre died eventually cos of the scraping

[Chaos]

i had no boxes on my pulsar

tho the tailpipe did have some inline baffling in it.


that passed mot's fine - tho a few places were a little concerned about the noise.

That must of been fairly loud

I dont think they can fail it, but Ive heard of some places refusing to carry out an MOT test at all, because the car was too loud.

[Chaos]

it was proper loud.

louder than nick masons f40 which i once followed for a few miles thru london

[zaust]

Nice 1 m8..

[pacerpete]

I bet Mason was pissed, he's driving along minding his own business hoping to savour the sound of his proper maranello chariot and all he can hear is the sound of a datsun farting and wheezing !

such a way with words

[H-M3]

i am speechless.... genius....pure genius.

datsuns r old skool.... my uncle and my dad used to rally them... specifically 1200 pickups in the late 70s, early 80s

[glenn]

i only have one straight-through back box on my project car.
it's only loud when you give it a bootful

go to powerflow and get a cat bypass.... Ԛ£70-90 roughly

[Karan]

shes bed in a bit more and sounds luuuuuuurvely... i love it... it sounds like a much bigger engine now and is meaty which it never was before

i will miss the old sound though however 'chav' it was!

[Davenotouring]

I wanna hear it!

[tylerma]

I wanna hear it!

me tooo

[Karan]

I wanna hear it!

me tooo

it will prob be disappointing and not as ground shaking as it was before... but now shes a pleasure top drove round slowly... burbles like a new 4.4 bmw v8....... i dont think top end full bore is as good as old setup..... as it really used to rip then


guess u gotta compromise when ure on a budget

[tylerma]

I wanna hear it!

me tooo

guess u gotta compromise when ure on a budget

tis true

still wanna hear it though

[Simon13]

the end of an era a noise we were all so found of has died!
I'm sure the new one sounds really good though.

Will forever be in my heart

[tylerma]

Will forever be in my heart
