Who runs a straight through exhaust system, i.e. no silencers, backbox or cat?!

i've got 2.5" stainless here and can get it all welded tomorrow but i don't have any silencers or backbox i can use, just pipe, will this be mega loud? and who uses the same sorta system (if you can call it a system )

call me pikey but i want this running asap as i need it for work on monday

 

got magnex system. got backbox still in. cut it open and welded it back up. sounds nice. loud but not as bad as u might think.

 

it's just that i've seen a few people with side exits exhausts that run straight through, or via one silencer with some electronic operating valve thingy...

just how loud is it straight through?

oh and i've seen the cars with the turbo at the back and no silencer, aparently the turbo muffles the sound pretty well....


suppose i'll have to suck it and see.

 

its not that loud. depends what car its on. turbo'd cars get away with it cos turbo quietens it down. n/a cars are really loud.

 

yup, thanks, hopefully it shouldn't be too loud.

i've been running about with a blown exhaust for weeks so anything will sound quieter!

 

Road car or track car ?

If its a track car you WILL have problems with noise if it ain't got a silencer.

I run a 2.25 inch straight through system with just 1 back box and it is designed to only just pass the regs. Thats on a NA car tho'

 

road car, basically just the odd bootage up dual-carrageways, backroads etc.. normal driving around town..

 

Just got the producers of the 7 day wonder ticket to worry about then

Get on good terms with a vehicle examiner and you will be sorted

 

I got 5 points due to a very loud exhaust that was on my S2 turbo when I bought it. Hate loud exhausts on the road, ok for trackdays though

DONT DO IT

 

well i'll see how loud it is, but i do want a backbox atleast!.. get one next weekend or summit

 

Do it IMO, Turbo will muffle the sound anyway ( at least to a semi accetable lever ) then weld a backbox on when u can afford it

You aint ever heard my exhaust then

 

the way i see it is that it can't be any worse than it has been for the last week i.e. about half inch gap all round between the mydownpipe and rest of the system

 

If your near the east end of glasgow tomorrow I will let you hear mine.

 

i'll be busy putting my car together mate, but if i listen really carefully i might just hear it

 

Can be heard from Largs so im told

 

i had a straight through system on my saff when i first fired it up with a T4, it was horrid! Far too tinny and cant really describe other then "farty"!!!!!

non-turbo cars are stupid loud with no silencers.............

dont do it!!!!

 

Thankyou, someone else with a bit o sense

 

well it wont be N/A after tomorrow, hence why i need to sort out an exhaust, i've got to do it lmao...

or i suppose i could weld my old 1.8 backbox or silencer on it .. would that just blow apart?

 

Go to that place at prestwick airport, they will do you a good exhaust

 

lol RMS, had one from them on my civic.. not bad actually, fair price, good enough quality. Sounded the mutz nutz too when i redline it in VTEC, sounds like 4 or 5 performance motors racing each other, best noise i've ever heard from a car!

aye i'll see how much they'll want to make a backbox up!

 

i never said it WAS gonna be N/A
Any silencer will do, a backbox on a sierra is "straight through" and not running 2 silencer tubes,only sound packing.
That should do the job, although the bore is a bit small!
Saying that it will create a bit of back pressure to help spin the turbo up


Sean.

 

They aint the cheapest but quality is good

What civic do you have ??

 

i might try it, might as well...

only for a week anyway, better than getting points i suppose

 

Im sorry, i dont want to asociate with anyone who has been to the "Dark Side"

Civic???
and you now have a nackered old sierra? LOL get in there, fookin jap crap

 

a '98 R reg 3dr 1.6VTi - loved it and regret getting rid of it really

 

lmao, shut it

i got the civic before all this F&F crap started. Jap cars are the bollox

sierra is a project but i love the simplicity of it and the rear-wheel driveness of it i don't mind Fords but i hate Vauxhalls

 

some pix of my saff and the exhausts here.........
some side exit and some 3.5in self fabricated.
i suppose a small turbo will muffle noise, my car is totally different with a T3,T35, and T4 turbo`s, probebly due to the boost i run but T3 on 28psi sounds the best with my current sustem, sound of the exhaust on boost can only be described as air out of tyre inflator or a jet engine?!........... fffffffffsssssssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

booooooooooooooooooost ya fookah!!!!

 

lmao

yup i had a scan through yer pics, side exits look unless done proper like on westfields etc

 

I only have a back box the rest of the system is 2.5 inch stainless, however it is quite loud and they sound shit, i bought an exhaust bomb to put in as a centre section to tone it down.
I will be doing that tomorrow.

This my opinion before anyone says a ny different and it is related to 2.0 turbo Technics engines
