i need a different exhaust for MY00

but i dont want somthing you can here a mile off but i do want the gurgling flatfour sound, my neighbours have babies and stuff and i get up early, dont want to cause a war..

so what would be best??

 

TSL group N back box and de-cat center, sounds superb, not over the top, magical "dugga dugga" sound. Just loud enough !!

 

Techno-fool question - is a de-cat centre the same as a straight-through centre, and would putting one of these on a standard MY00 turbo cause it to fail it's MOT?

*apologies for minor threadjack...

 

Carter - if you changed the centre section BUT retained the cat in the DP AND you got the car hot enough, then you MAY pass the MOT emissions test.

jamieerst - go for a H&S DP and centre and a TSL Firestorm rear box

I have this on my car and non of my neighbours complain

 

Oof. Touch and go,then?

And it's the same thing, yeah?

 

Carter... yes its the same thing, although you can have replacment center sections with a resonator which helps keep noise levels lower.

Carter, there are basically 3 types of centre section.

• A simple piece of pipe
• Pipe with a resonator chamber to keep noise down.
• Pipe with a catalytic convertor in it

Resistance to flow increses down that list. People have different names for the different bits but basically straight through and non resonated are the same ie just a bit of pipe.

 

mine passed MOT ok, just get the car nice and hot.

 

Cheers!

 

I'm more than happy with my TSL Gp N back box. Nice burble but not too loud.

Centre pipe next I think

 

Is that the 3.5" or 4" one?

Are they much different?

 

I have the 4" and it does sound well.

 

Think the Firestorm would be too loud for him. I have this on mine with de-cat and must admit its a little intrusive.

 

If i where to just get a back box, would that help the noise down?

 

Not sure, i had both done at the same time (TSL fitted it)Talk to Paul @ TSL. But if you do go down try and take the minimum amount of money you need, as you WILL come away with LOADS of bits, you will not be able to help yourself !!!

 

what about the magnex cat back system with oval tail pipe??

 

Jamie

I had the Magnex Oval on mine originally along with resonated centre section, and now Twin Dump Downpipe

Scoobysport or Hayward & Scott (same zorts) probably about best for the noise you want, not 'too' loud

 

had a magnex exhaust for 2 years(dp,c/section + b/box 3.5" round).lovely sound,just right noise,could do with a bigger pipe though,even 4" looks a little small now.
i've sailed thru the emissions at MOT time,no cats and the car has been hot but not cooking,am i just being lucky coz people say you're pushing it just losing the centre cat?
