ok i need you opinions! ideally from those that have expereinced both exhausts.

3" turbo back Blitz Nur Spec R

Vs

3" Turbo back RCM Team Ice with silenced center section!

Which one is the better exhaust to have?

how loud is the team ice with a silenced center section?

which exhaust has the better scooby burble? both on idle and full chatter?

which one is quiet on idle then loud on boost? or neither?

performance wise which is better?

also weight wise which is lighter?

and finally with regards to drone at motorway speeds etc. do they drone?

let me know your opinions please!

i dont really want anything louder than the 3" turbo back blitz nur spc r just want to see if the team ice with silenced center section is just as good? as i can get that for cheaper lol but exhaust sound means a lot to em so dont want to cop out just for price!

cheers

I cant comment on the noise yet cause i aint stuck my blitz on my car

But price wise i just bought one 2nd hand 1 year old for 300 quid and that came with a HKS downpipe and cat pipe both decated with a blitz catback for 300 pound!

Once its fitted ill post some clips for ya

the blitz does drone on the motorway but if you put the bung in its sorts that out hope it helps

ps to be fair without the bung its bloody loud inside and out

lol i basically want something that sounds just like the blitz.. its just i can get the full rcm turbo back system for £230 thas with silenced center section..but i dont want it to be silly loud, i had the blitz before and was happy with it!

just hoping this will match it

what does everyone think? will rcm team ice with silenced center be bearable? and not get me in trouble lol

blitz all the way
very common i wonder why?? but never tried the rcm so cant comment

the team ice even with silenced centre section is louder than the blitz.

at idle the blitz is slightly louder but the team ice gets loud at 2500rpm and blows it away.

weight wise the team ice is just a pipe so weighs a lot less than the blitz.

what i did was buy the blitz then bought the team ice backbox and had it cut to fit the centre section.

Ive got the RCM full system on my Spec C but the rear box isnt the team ice its the other one RCM do but it is as loud as my blitz ever was so the team ice will be much louder

eggy790

iTrader: (20)

crap lol anyone know of a bung that would fit the team ice backbox for when it needs to be quiet? as £240 for the full system is very cheap!

and i cant afford a blitz yet lol suppose a bung will quiet it down?

i dont want to deafen my rear passengers

how much does a bung reduce performance by? a few bhp? or 15bhp + ?

eggy790

iTrader: (20)

the blitz center section is pretty much the same as RCMs silenced center, correct?

also mate, which gives the better scooby burble?

i dont know any think about the blitz system so cant comment.. but i do have a fully de cat team ice system on my spec c its going to be a different sound on your because of the headers.... but its loud very loud not sure how much the cat will help u in the centre section......here is a clip of what u can expect...u can make your own mind up mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mines a newage but the blitz centre is not the same as rcm as the blitz connection is angled.

for me noise wise you can't beat the team ice trully is spot on. if you like it very loud if you want to know what it's going to roughly sound like before you buy take the back box off yours as for most people it's too loud.

bung wise i don't think you'd get one to fit as it's slightly baffled on the exit of the team ice

hope that helps

i think am just going to go ahead with it, for £240 am just being silly ot let it pass.. worse comes to worse, ill sell it later and use the money towards a blitz, am sure i'll find a way to quiten it down, home made bung i think it'll be

but then again it may not be considered loud to me, as im known to like loud exhausts, its just my passenegrs that complain as they cant hear what the front 2 guys are talkin about lol

swifty.....!

iTrader: (4)

it should be right on mine i have it on full decat and no resonators so is extremely loud but only have it on in the summer but it makes you drive in 2 ways either very low revs or like me always foot fully down the noise is very addictive

scoobysti89

Has yours got the silenced centre section? I guess not if it sounds like a Blitz?

Hey mate,

I know it's not what you want to hear but.......I have the RCM TEAM ICE system on my car. But with a sports cat. I have a non res centre.

TBH on tick over on my car it's pretty quiet compared to someone starting up next to me with a full de-cat. But once I get of approx 2800rpm hell breaks loose. On the motorway holding at around 3000/3700rpm its really good and not OTT to be honest.

I think it depends on if your going for a decat full system or sports cat d/p etc. I know someone who has a full RCM team ice without cats........it sounds bonkers and in his own words he couldn't drive the car everyday.

Good man.

Let us know how you get on. RCM fabricating is very well made isn't it. Good welds etc.

Enjoy.

no worries, going to fit it next week most likely, bit busy with shopping this weekend.

yep very good quality!

and regarding the quiet idle! thats perfect if thats the case as i can creep in and out of my street then and also when parked up at night letting the turbo timer run lol without waking the street up.

Thanks for getting back to me. I was thinking of replacing the centre section on my RCM system, but I'll think I'll leave it now as I want to be able to get onto the track.

Daz ya monkey. You don't happen to know what db the team ice system is do you?

Steve

iTrader: (20)

well blitz nur spec on there site says 105 decibles? if team ice is louder.. god knows

scooby-tc

iTrader: (2)

team ice is around the 110-115db mark fingers in ears time

joz8968

iTrader: (13)

According to my home cinema Sound Level Meter's instructions, 105dB is equivalent to a low flying jet or thunder... 115dB is rock concert loud!

Don't forget that the dB scale is logarithmic, so an increase of, say, just 2dB is significantly louder, because the gain is exponential, not linear.
