hobbsy 0 Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Looking at a straight through replacement pipe that replaces the centre section on the exhaust. , I am after a bit more of a throaty sound but dont want it stupidly loud or have a big sad chav exhaust hanging out the back so this sounds ideal at 40 quid. Anyone got any experience of these? Link to post Share on other sites
goodboy1451 0 Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 I saw the advert on ebay as well. rather tempted to bid for it too, but I wonder whether will this mod reduce the backpressure and causes a loss in torque. Link to post Share on other sites
Seademon 0 Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Im was going to do this on mine - at the moment I have the cat, the VW silencer after that and then the 2 Sebring silencers - I was gonna remove the cat and the Vw silencer but people have told me that just by removing the cat it will be loud enough so Im gonna go just for that first of all. All I have is induction noise at the mo would just like a bit of exhaust noise etc without it being too OTT Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 ive got the cat removed and it doesnt make a din. I think it sounds mint :-) Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 there is definately an issue with back pressure. VR6's like a little bit of pressure to keep the cylinders hard at work, so id recomend not removing the centre box. deffo have a go with the cat replacement but not the centre section. dont know if its a noticable loss in power, but every little counts eh. he he.

cliveyp 0 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 My Jetex system has no centre tunnel box. It still has the CAT, and then nothing until you get to the underseat box, and the back box. Sounds gorgeous and hasn't affected performance negatively at all. Not loud at all and has a nice bark when you blip it. Link to post Share on other sites
DundeeDub 0 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 mine has no cat and no center box, it has the rear and the front box and thats it, actually sounds nice and is not loud at all until you boot it, it was custom made and that is what i wanted it to do. i think they also built a box where the cat was, so its not just a straight through pipe but unsure so will check it out Link to post Share on other sites
Hiten 0 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 i've got a 6 branch manifold, no cat and only the rear 2 supersrint back boxes and my induction is louder than the exhaust Link to post Share on other sites
Seademon 0 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Ha! I think I'd have to fit a straight through system with no silencers (which Im not doing!) for it to be louder than my iduction noise - I love it though! Link to post Share on other sites
