exhaust too loud.....
hi
i currently have a magnex downpipe, magnex center and a Tanabe backbox,
its just too loud for me...... if i get a res-center pipe, how much will this reduce??
also i am planning to get some un-equal headers, will this increase the sound??
i love the flat 4 rumble but not too loud and i dont want to loose the preformance
any solution??
thanks

headers like the Gruppe-s, HKS or copies (4-1, not quite equal length) will quieten down the throbbing nicely without losing the burble, makes for much nicer motorway cruising.
Magnex backbox might be a nice addition to cut the noise down further.

When I looked into getting a replacement centre section, I was advised that the resonated centre sections are much quieter in-car than the straight thoughs which can tend to throb or drone when cruising on the m'way etc.
Some have wrapped their downpipes and/or centre sections with exhaust wrap with varying degrees or success.
Can't say exactly how much the noise will reduce, should reduce in-car noise though.

the scooby burble is due to the unequal header length, you hear the cylinder 'bangs' in a 1,3 - 2,4 sequence, rather than a 1-3-2-4 sequence. This makes for a noticable increase in noise, which the equal, or near equal headers help reduce.
