Grant Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 So spent the afternoon whacking this on ...All went swimmingly, all bolts etc came off fine etc etc. All good right??? NO!! Think it the decat rather than the mani but the noise is horrendous! Pootering along at normal speed is absolutely fine, infancy while driving off my estate, didn't sound any different, was impressed. That was until I climbed above 2500 rpm. And there's the problem. That horrible tin rattle :-( just what I didn't want. So, plan of action tomorrow, see if by putting the cat back on, if it will fit, reduces the noise. I'm hoping and thinking it will. But will obv restrict flow, so possibly a sports cat or a silenced decat rather than a straight cut 2.5" will be on the cards. On the up side, all fucking hell breaks loose at 5800 rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Yeah that would make an epic amount of noise! 4-1 is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 That's a shame it didn't quite work out, could it be the exhaust heat shield by any chance? Is that a 4-1 or 4-2-1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Yeah it's a 4-1 chaps. Which I know are loud anyway. Just didn't think it would be this bad lol. Like I said, hoping the cat will make a difference. If it does, I'll look at getting one of these I think, look like they have some baffles in. http://bit.ly/1hV13we Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Did you have the decat on before or did you put it on at the same time? It could just be knocking against the heatshield although you'd probably get that all the time. Decat you've linked won't fit, too short, ours are 480mm.
