Nur spec west midlands area.
 
Hi anyone local to me in the dudley wolverhampton area with a loud exhaust? I would really love to here it as i want loud but im not quite sure how loud a fully decatted nur spec would be.

Thanks brett

Try YouTube mate, loads on here.

Brett-wv14 14 July 2013 09:13 PM

Ive seen them all mate lol the sound from the nur spec sounds unbeatable in my eyes. I love the sound just wanna here it for myself really hard to determine the loudest on a video. i really wanna go full decat.

mnem1c 14 July 2013 10:14 PM

Cant beat the sound of a fully de-catted Blitz Nur-spec R :)

MattyB1983 14 July 2013 10:16 PM

They are too loud imo.

99greenwagon 14 July 2013 10:17 PM

LOUD!!

Brett-wv14 14 July 2013 10:45 PM

I really feel the wrx is way too restricted really want too unleash the beast inside. I think its gona have to be fully decat nur spec ")

Go and stand on the runway at Birmingham airport and wait for a few planes to come past you. A Nur spec sounds like that, but louder :thumb:

Steve's Sti 15 July 2013 12:10 AM

nur spec r the way forward but sometimes on long runs your head goes really really sore lol but still the best sounding exhaust for any subie

Shaks-STI 15 July 2013 08:36 AM

They are very very loud, very nice at the begining but then you start feeling the noise. I have one and i was thinking of changing for something else.

MattyB1983 15 July 2013 08:57 AM

The best exhausts are the ones that are quiet'ish at cruising speed but come to life when the pedal is pushed all the way down.
I had a full 3" de-cat tornado system on my classic. You could cruise at 80 in comfort with no cabin drone, and then when you felt like a loon it would spark into life and bark like a stabbed rottie.

Ive had super loud exhausts before, trust me, the novelty soon wears off.
Theres a lad in town with a full nur spec and in all honesty he looks like a prat driving round.

Brett-wv14 15 July 2013 10:48 AM

Would really love to here a nur spec. I really do agree with the point made about being able to be quite when light on the accelerator. But i really want the nur spec sound. Im thinking what may be a good idea to keep in cat wise. I want to remove up pipe and down pipe cat may keep in the centre section standard and i think that should suit my needs. I sometimes go out to play with few freinds on the very loud race quads the roar is such a turn on ha. People stop what they're doin and stare nur spec and race quads tearing up the streets is pure excitement such a rush in my eyes. Fekk it im goin nur spec ha. Can always quiten down later if i change my mind.

Thanks for input guys.

Really love my nur spec fitted to my new age the sound in the cabin is fine barley hear it, that's still with a cat in the downpipe mind you, I want it louder in the car so I can hear it without needing the windows down! I know the new age has better sound deadening to the classic so bear that in mind

Brett-wv14 15 July 2013 09:05 PM

Dan sounds like my kinda man ha

MichaelB 15 July 2013 10:03 PM

I have a fully decated NUR spec on my blob sti. It sounds great when someone else drives the car and you are not in it but its far too loud inside. Just a drone, I can't wait to change it..

Only funny thing is loads of people stare in disgust - you can see their faces and heads shaking

Haha a man :p it makes a change to being called a boy!

Dan- 16 July 2013 12:08 AM

Just recorded you 2 videos so you can see what cabin noise is like,


as you hear its sort of loud when you accelerate but when you sit a certain speed i was doing 60 there my R888 tyres make more noise/drone/rumble than my exhaust, can barley hear the Nur Spec

Next i recorded a clip with my music on (sorry if not to your taste) i still have my original tape player head unit fitted and on that the volume was set at 14 and you can clearly hear the music no problem


Doesnt help with the phone being so far away from any speakers so the music might not sound so clear to some but it is sat in the drivers seat

Mr Footlong 16 July 2013 09:12 AM

Dan, you must have the world's quietest Nur Spec system then as I have owned two and they are horrific for both cabin and outside noise on non-sound deadened scoobs IMO.

The first one I had was on a STI2 with decat and it was stupidly noisy. I was young at the time and thought it was fun but my trip to work only took 10 minutes.

Current scoob came with one too, also decatted and it was bloody awful. The cabin noise inside for anything over the 2 minute journey caved your skull in. I had it off the car as soon as I possibly could, good riddance. The other cars all have Milltek systems/sports cats on them and sound beautiful/aggressive, without sounding utterly retarded.

Brett-wv14 16 July 2013 10:04 AM

That doesnt sound too bad in the video. I wonder how quiter it is with bung fitted for long journeys.
This is such a tough decision ha

Maby it's because I'm still running my downpipe cat but I don't know, I know it's still quite loud when it comes to track days as I need a bung fitted to get it through, 115db at 4k revs with a limit of 101db

The bung brings the noise down to 94db huge improvement, I can record you a snippet tonight with the bung but won't hear anything in the car as its silent only tyre whine :)

Mr Footlong 16 July 2013 10:39 AM

On the STI2 if memory serves (talking 10 years ago now....) I went from whatever was on there connected to the Nur, to a 3" decat downpipe that matched the 3" Nur and the noise went up by an impressive amount.

Brett, buy mine if you dare..... ;)

Brett-wv14 16 July 2013 01:12 PM

How much are you looking to let it go for?

Mr Footlong 16 July 2013 01:29 PM

It is in the Subaru parts for sale section, bumped the thread only this morning ;)

Brett-wv14 16 July 2013 04:43 PM

Farnham is too far to collect. And if you decided to arrange courier it wouldnt be till next week. The washing machine has packed up and i gota replace but im thinking fek the washing machine lets get it on this weekend hahaha

Mr Footlong 16 July 2013 05:04 PM

I am in no rush and do just about have enough packaging to put together an acceptable box chap, courier would hopefully only add £15 to the price if lucky. Just to confirm, you have read all the details on the exhaust on there and looked at the pics?

Feel free to post on that actual thread.

mnem1c 16 July 2013 05:31 PM

I dont think the blitz system is that loud. Heres my car....

Brett-wv14 16 July 2013 05:41 PM

Niiice mnem, and footlong just gota measure the sizes you mentioned, not quite sure what im measuring though. I have a wrx 2004 standard edition i belive.

Mr Footlong 16 July 2013 06:02 PM

mnem1c, that sounds a hell of a lot quieter than both of my ones.

Brett, can't really help you on that I am afraid, all I can say is that on an aftermarket single piece downpipe, there is a mounting bracket that runs along the bottom of the pipe where it bolts to the gearbox or something like that. The distance between that bracket and the end of the pipe (flange) is what you need to measure.

I don't know if a blitz newage system will bolt directly on to whatever multi-catted setup Subaru stuck on those, you need people in the know to tell you.

Brett-wv14 16 July 2013 07:20 PM

Apparently not according to blitz website its sayin it will only fit a japanese import model sti.
:,(
That being said im sure it could maybe made fit by a good welder/bodger ha.

I will look further into it and get back to u.

If you was willing to accept a lower price i would take the back box on its own leaving you to sell centre section maybe.

Mr Footlong 16 July 2013 08:10 PM

No problem but I won't be left with a centre section that I cannot use. About 3 people have asked that now, without even knowing if their centre section will match up in the same place.
