Just had a straight through exhaust fitted to my T2, it sounds amazing but it\'s just too loud!, but when I fit the baffle it really saps the power :(
Can you get bigger baffles? or any other sudgestions?

Come on, some of you must have some thoughts on this. Do any of you gave a straight through turbo back exhaust? are you using a baffle? what size is the small end of the baffle?

can you not whack a bigger pipe which bolts on? There\'s is a greddy or was it apexi butterfly thing you can pull to adjust how much of the exhaust it blocks off/silences........Did look at them when i first got car but didnt pish neighbours off too much so didnt bother....

I drive with a single straight through. I have been driving with a 3.5 inch baffle but this weekend it comes out and let the flames begin.
Yes it will be loud, ease off the loud pedal if u see the pigs.

The only thing that bothers me is starting it from cold when it ticks over at 3k!!! if only the baffle was easier to remove, mines a tight bugger!!!!:reallymad

Why did you go for a straight through pipe set up?
What mods are you running?

It was an ebay bargain!! no mods yet, just a FCD.
Going to hayward and scott this morning to get a bigger tailpipe baffle made, this will hopfully be a good comprimise between boost & noise!!

E-bay bargains are always good..........
I am presently researching a full system for my project.
It will have non restrictive silencers on though as I do not want too much noise.......
Got a few options already, but taking it in for a quote on a custom made set up. I may want an option on the turbo flange!

I agree with the others, if you can get out of the car and your ears aren\'t ringing too bad, then you are doing well.
I have run a few cars with big straight thru exhausts, and a couple with bungs in.
Run it without the bung, you know they suck.
Why buy a larger diameter exhaust just to choke it at the exit.
If you go on a long run, then stick it in there, i found my car was a big odd when it was bungged up about 110mph+ it would choke and you had to let off the throttle a bit until you got past that area, then it was smooth sailing again.
