cheers mate, yeah i got the bumper shape cut out sweet its just in the wagon theres stuff all room to work with as youve got the leaf spring mount sitting right next to the wide part of the tip, then throw in the towbar bracket as well which is just above it and theres not much room left to get it tucked right up.
that pic there does look pretty crap as it was just hanging, but since then i have got it tucked up a bit further but still not as much as id like, will keep trying perhaps maybe bring out some grinding action to the towbar.

I reckon you chose well Dave.

wow Dave that sounds awsome! You choose really well like Shav said!. You have got to be happy with that, and the tips suit it off really well!! ... 10/10 IMO

thats pretty loud, nice note, i bet your going to be popluar with the nieghbours lollol,

it will quieten down after a couple of weeks once the carbon builds up

i am very popular with my nieghbours specially with 3 cops down my street lol

Dave_Obsession · 08-10-2009, 06:40 PM

Yeah I'm giving it a couple of weeks to quieten down a little......I'm getting used to it, still think it's a little loud.....don't want to be too 'try-hard'.....it's not like it's a 10 second car!!!!

Since that vid was taken (a couple of hours after I got the car home from the exhaust shop), it has already seemed to settle down a little bit.....here's hoping it becomes a little more muffled in the coming week!!!

It seems to be louder when you start it first thing in the morning, as opposed to after having driven around for a while - any reason for this???

If I did want to quieten it down a little, would I need to change the muffler?? Or is there anything I could add to it (hotdog, resonator) to go with what it already has??

blueoval · 08-10-2009, 06:55 PM

Dave, I have a hotdog, straight thru offset glass pack muffler, and a rear resit on my car, and its ever so quiet. Not as quiet as stock, but still very stealthy as far as sound is concerned.

If you want to quieten it down more, you can opt for a hot dog between the cat and muffler.

Dave_Obsession · 08-10-2009, 07:53 PM

LOL mine is anything but stealthy at the moment!!!

Sounds like I need to investigate this option....

V3RSAC3 · 08-10-2009, 08:09 PM

Depends how quite you want it. How many mufflers is on it atm Dave?

Dave_Obsession · 08-10-2009, 08:39 PM

got one centre muffler (straight through) and a resonator just before the tip.....

POELWYK · 08-10-2009, 10:58 PM

If you want it quiter then change your rear ressi to a muffler.

Either redback or Magnaflow.
