How do people live with stupidly loud exhausts?
 

Now I might be getting old but the blitz system that came with my recent purchase is doing my head in.
It has a decat downpipe too and my ears are actually hurting after a 20 mile journey.
You can't drive quietly, not a chance.
Luckily I have sourced a standard cat, centre and prodrive backbox which my mate will fit hopefully this week as he runs his own garage with a lift.

I see scoobies on here with cannon type exhausts and just think 'how does not do your head in after 5 minutes?'

:wonder:

sell me the blitz back box, how much you after?

ive went from having afterburner vortex to hks silent hi power and now its to quiet

Will list it all on here when it's off the car mate.
Ideally all together.

mines is only for the weekend so part of the experience :)

The novelty soon wore off for me, Ive settled on the revolution system now and it's perfect for me, but because I have no blow off valve or recirculation valve all I get is massive turbo chatter noise from the 30r and that's now doing my nut in aswell.

Attention seekers innit blud. Bbbbrrrrraaaaa!

In the words of Kath and Kim "Look at me, look at me..."

Should have bought a ford then

i don't get it either, no 4 cylinder engine sounds that good, well compared to a straight 6 or v8 anyhow, that's why my 2.5" pro drive exhaust system ain't goin nowhere!

I think your best bet would be milltek I had full system on mine defo one for the oldies

I personally prefer the blitz as it unleashes that burble even on a twinscroll

If you don't want to be noticed and don't want attention dont buy a scooby simples :D

"LOUD & PROUD" as they say :)

Lad round my way has an old Zafira GSI with two cannons sticking out the back. I can't believe anyone would strap their little ones in the back for the day and take them anywhere with the racket it makes!!

Loud exhausts aren't for me. Almost as embarrassing as a yellow car......

Mine is ear drum deafening and I love it

That explains a lot.

:lol1:

i must be really bad. I've got a blitz and my car is yellow.

mines really loud too,doesnt bother me much though

Prodrive backbox with full decat is plenty for me, went through about 5 different bbox, now it still sounds good and you can actually have a conversation on journeys

Nur Spec R is the must nuts... sounds awesome, my STi is only driven one to two days a week so after all week in the A6 TDi it's great to fire up the beast Spec R... everyone had individual taste that's what makes us different, buy an electric car if you want a quiet ride...

TOMEI Titanium on mine... Can't hear passengers in rear over 80 hahahaha

Got a 3.5 inch de-catted system and love the sound of it, am going to but some sound deadening in the boot for when plodding along but that should not affect full throttle fun. If it does I shall open the rear windows slightly. LOL

I had a full 3" cobra Inc decat on my blob sti, my neighbour won't have been keen when I left for work at 6.30am BUT it did allow my lass to start my tea when I was still 5 mins away....

Mick

:D

When I had my classic it came with a Powerflow, one neighbour asked what was up with the exhaust, I didnt think it was that loud lol

I went from afterburner vortex to blitz full decat, and yeah tad loud lol not neighbour friendly so car aint used if I'm on an early start coz I'm good like that haha and better still the mrs hates it so won't set foot in it:lol1:

I've had a few blitz systems over the year the first time was a novitly and everyone saying it's the best sounding exhaust for a classic so I jumped straight in after a short period of time tho I soon got bored and tbh u are at risk of been pulled aswell so ended up fitting the bung 95% of the time which would reduce the sound but then lose performance... in the end I had 2 maps one for with and the other for without the bung !

I do like the look of the system though so with my new found experience this time round and having the spec c I decided on going for a Hks hi power silent, now these systems have a large exit like the blitz but tapers smaller on the inside, visually looks good and opens up on full boost lovely but for pottering about and not making ur ears bleed I love it :)

I had a Japspeed on mine for a couple of years but the drone got to me. I have had a resonated Milltek for about 5 years and it's great. Loud enough when pushing on but quiet enough that it won't upset the neighbours or track day noise testers. In fact when I changed to the Milltek one of my neighbours asked what the problem was with the car because it was so much quieter.

The Subaru Impreza is already a loud car to look at, giving it a free flowing exhaust (which you need for decent power gains) completes it in my opinion.

Some really loud exhausts can be an issue when you're working on them!
For example, I make Martyn road test them instead of me doing it.. On the dyno we put up with it, but it does annoy the other staff.
Seriously, we supply Jetex exhausts. They make a really nice mandrel bent 3" system that we've seen over 700 bhp from so why use anything else?
Not even expensive..

is the jetex the same as the revolution only a bit cheaper ?

Ahhh the good old JETEX the favoured exhaust of the 80's Golf GTi owner. Well JETEX and REMUS :D
