i need sum help in reducing the volume of my 4.5 inch jap style exhaust as the neighbours are all complaing about it all old gits suprise suprise admit it is bloody loud but it passed the mot ok & sounds awesome, can someone help me please without removing it is there a baffle or silencer that would work or would i be able to get a custom made one?

you should be able to sort a bung, is there a small hole in the bottom rear of the tailpipe?

The bung is normally fixed in place there with a small screw, my ninja2 came with one.

Can you not just start it up and get going instead of sitting with it ticking over? its not going to hurt things moving off straight away tbh, just keep thye revs down til warmed up.

yeah i always move off straight away & when i come home try & pull up not far from my road & let it cool down for a minute or so so i can just roll down my close & turn it off straight away but still not enough for them, we live on a close which is next to a big main road which you can hear lorrys all times going up & down which is differnt though Ive seen the baffle you talking about but mine hasnt got the small hole but i think it would fit just dont fancy drilling into the stainless steel bet its dffficult to do? would there be anyway of doing it without the holes? thanks for your help

There are plenty of exhaust out there that are quiet on low revs but just as noisy on acceleration

Tbh dude, if you do that (which is being respectful) and your car passes the emissions etc etc, then what else can you do? You are entitled to drive what you want...would they complain if a Ferrari or Lambo was starting up next door??...would they fvck...they's be bragging "oooh yes we have a bloke with a ferrari living next door"

Im sure theres something to fit if there is no hole drilled mate, either that or if your intent on doing your bit, maybe a similar style backbox but less noisy.....I don't think they have much of an argument especially if you drive it straight out and cool it down elsewhere tbh though...sod em.

exactly but unfortuately i sill live with the parents for now so ive also got them in the other ear otherwise would just said sodem Think theres a custom exhaust centre in Nottingham so will pop in there see if they can russle me anything up or order that sliencer & try & mod it without drilling a hole in the pressious tail pipe just i dont want to deform the tailpipe or loose the silencer with the viberations

Hi,

This may be worth a try, goto a Halfrauds or motor factors, the mini G-cramps that are used to fix on cheapo aftermarket mudflaps may well do the trick to hold the bung in place, would make it quick to remove without tools.

thats a good idea mate thanks will bare that one in mind

sarnyboy

get it tested by vosa, if its within legal limits, tell em bollox

Just drill the tailpipe, its not going to cdeform it at all. One 6mm hole is all you need. Go through with a smaller pilot drill first to make it easier

I had the same issues,you can buy a 4.5" bung from scoobyworld for around 30 quid and drill the hole through the exhaust...job done,halves the amount of noise coming out

I bet the bung doesn't stop them complaining, it won't be quiet enough. Loud exhausts cause people to make assumptions about YOU which they feel they have to take issue with. A no win situation, either ride it out or buy a substantially quieter one.

Im worried about my exhaust. Its only a vortex but at 6 in the morning, MY GOD it sounds loud!! Cold mornings and idles about 1.5k lol I bet they love me now!!

My bird had a supra it was loud an sounded great but after many complaints we got a visit by the police about noise complaints from the night before but the car was covered in 2 days of frost hadnt moved at all so wasnt us that night but even if you fix it mite not stop you get the blame o the noise o a passing car
