Title: Too much noise!
Post by: Aragorn Le Rouge on May 18, 2009, 11:20:49 AM
Hello all!

Im the French guy who bought the Jimi Hendrix\'s FC :D

(http://www.kirikoo.net/images/2AragornLR-20090414-133934.jpg)

She likes the french roads but french policemen dislike so much the "monstrous" noise of the little black FC :( (and it\'s cost 90â,¬ :o)

So I need advice to reduce my exhaust noise!

I\'ve a 2,5" tanabe downpipe, a 2,5" decat, a 3" OBX cat back.

What\'s the best choice:

Reinstall the catalytic convertor?

or

Install a presilencer?

+ Install a muffler silencer.

Thanks for the help!

A 3" downpipe and mid pipe may help reduce the nose level, as going from 2.5" to 3" will make it act like a trumpet.
 
Congratulations on your purchase !:driving:)

Silencers will work ok without costing you too much power - a CAT will sap an awful lot of power becasue it will stop the turbo from flowing freely.

If you fancy driving to England you can do a straight swap with me :)


I\'m after something loud :)

Mines a 2.25 or 2.5 (not sure which) dual exit with a mid silencer and two boxes :)

Crap! I was in UK last Friday (to take a nissan S14 with a friend)... I don\'t know when I\'ll come back :( :( :(

And I think shipping cost for the exhaust will be enormous :(
