Default exhaust help!

hi all,i have a blitz nur spec r system and 3 inch decat downpipe on my turbo 2000, now when i bought the car i loved the sound! but now after 2 years im finding it to loud (or mayb im getting old??)
im thinking of buying another system and selling my blitz,but keep the downpipe!
im just wondering what systems will be a bit quiter,i still want it noticable but not the rawness of the blitz!
im not fussed on bore size as long as its a angled exit backbox like the blitz!

your experiances and views are welcome!!

Do it properly, none of this in yer face jap stuff... and their systems don't always fit with UK kit... some reasonable options mentioned above though Bore size of exhaust pipes ( not the final outlet pipe ! ) helps the engine breath... as you probably know having a 3" d/pipe.

Call Ian at Haywood and Scott, they will make you what you want... quiet or loud as you prefer, 3" system or lesser, shape or style of backbox as you desire ...

i.e cutom stuff at near normal prices!

my Hatch 330S has 3" sports cat d/pipe off H&S and they did me a special 3" to 2.5" exhaust pipe so I could keep my std OEM PPP / 330 rear exhaust for a std look ( and car made 370 bhp . 396 lbft when mapped on this system ) .

Hayward and Scott are highly rated and very popular as upgrade,for reasonable price not like Miltek(for more/double money you get poor quality)

No, breathes very freely, other hatches with full decat and 3" full exhaust ( same induction kit ) made near 380 bhp so no real difference - my mapper said there was more available on mine but would get into the realms of det if used poor fuel.

Sorry, if you already have a 3" d/pipe you can get a nice system in 3" all the way thru ( my classic had one ) no need for you to go to 2.5" if you don't wish to - I did to keep it looking and sounding std!

Hi

Our Revolution system is well known as being a touch quieter than the likes of Blitz/HKS etc but retaining the 3" bore from downpipe to rear box.

Thanks
