Title: My exhaust is way too loud!
Post by: Jimi_Hendrix on February 24, 2009, 05:44:07 PM
Right the exhaust i have now is just too loud for me. I think i need some kind of silenced mid pipe. Who does them for the FC TII? And would it reduce the noise a good bit?
 
I fully decated the car and its just made the thing stupidly loud! I honestly CANT WOT it because it will deafen me! :(
 
Or if i put the original down pipe back on would that maybe quietin it down again? And would it still be safe to run 10/11 psi boost with that back on?
 
Cheers guys! Got so frustraited with the beast i was toying with selling her! Lol!

I used to run mine on a full 3" system with a 4" exit and no CATs or silencers - get a grip man, it\'s a bit of noise :D  Embrace it! :Giggle

That downpipe being smaller than the rest is what\'s probably contributing to your noise problem - you might as well stick a trumpet on it ;)
 
I reckon a bigger down pipe would be good for noise reduction and a few more ponies :cheers
