Krzys Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 You'll find out once it's done! I don't remember my brother's EP3 being that bad and that had a Spoon back box and an open filter! Think these have a bit more sound deadening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shafzzz Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 The pre-facelift had less sound deadening. Exhaust couldn't get done today due to a hitch with my catalytic converter. Driveshaft and brakes were done though and all working well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Least the important things are done! What's the hitch with the cat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shafzzz Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 The standard cat was so rusted that the flange on the end of it, if my uncle/mechanic was to undo the bolts or put any tension on it whatsoever, the cat would've cracked. The flange was also rusted so thin it was apparently 'thinner than the cardboard box the exhaust came in' - so new cat ordered. That probably explains my relatively poor fuel economy and some performance issues. So as of Wednesday hopefully I will have a new cat, new centre section and new backbox. Hopefully.

Roj Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Just run without an exhaust until the new cat comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shafzzz Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Gone all OEM cause any more noise and I won't make it on track unfortunately, plus money. I plan to go full mani and decat when I K100/map anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Forgot about the noise for a minute there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shafzzz Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 And the exhaust is on, and hooooly crap it's loud, like LOUD, the centre section hangs a bit low and I've already scraped it on a speedbump But the new exhaust system is amazing, car feels faster, definitely sounds faster.. sounds like a Honda now. Up on the ramp you go! Byebye old restrictive blowing exhaust! Hellloo new noisemaker! And a video.. I should really invest in a phoneholder.

Krzys Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Wow that tail pipe is massive! I read it's the b-pipe that is the most restrictive part, is that a de-resonated b-pipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
