Krzys Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hmmm... I wonder what it would sound like with just a straight through pipe. 1.5" flow is just gay! That AWD Golf is just insane! Must be a proper handfulCheap way to find out, gut the current one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feck_on_a_stick Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 I brought the car home last night and it's quiet! Well there's a nice burble at idle, and when my friend was bringing it out of his garage it was noticably throaty. Inside the car it's pretty much silent at normal speeds. I honestly don't hear the exhaust at all, which I'm not used to with this car. I now hear lovely induction noise instead. All great But..... There's a far less pronounced changeover sound now from inside the car. Above 4,500rpm it's still pretty quiet! I know though its purely in comparison with the 5Zigen which was such an animal and gorgeous sounding in vtec. Overall though I'm very happy with it. It does exactly what I want it to, and if anything, it feels a tad torquier, especially in fourth and fifth gear. When my friend discovered that the resonated centre was collapsing in on itself I started wondering what to replace it with. With the Jetex back box being so quiet I think I'm just going to remove the centre section and replace it with a 2.5" pipe to see what it sounds like. If anything it'll improve flow and hopefully also make it a little bit more throatier. As mentioned, the tip is just a bit of 2.5" stainless steel piping, but I think it give it a more subtle OEM look. I gave it a very quick polish when I got home but need to give it a proper clean over the weekend. I've also uploaded a video of it idling and giving it a few blips. It def sounds better on the PC than it did on my phone I need to get sorted with a drive-by video soon just so I can hear myself what it goes like.

Krzys Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Could be a plan with the centre pipe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 That sounds nice, straight through centre pipe should make it a bit louder on crossover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feck_on_a_stick Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Thanks lads. I'm really liking the sound of it on idle. A real meaty rumble off it now. I replaced the horn this afternoon. So glad to have removed the camp Honda horn. Whilst I was in the mood for making videos, I thought I'd make a quick one of the differences between the old horn and the new horn I also gave the 5Zigen a bit of a polish and took a few pics before I get it advertised for sale in the next couple of days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
