Title: blooooooody thing dont fit
Post by: stainesy on 10 June 2011, 12:01: just tried to fit my strait through middle section exhaust and it dont fit. the end sleaves are the same size as the bits they are ment to go over :angry:
so i chopped abit off the ends and used over sleaves to make it fit and had it all nicely fitted to car.
but its WAY to loud. cant even hear yourself think inside the car. i mean in my street you can hear every piston popping away and makes it very disoriantating and had ringing in my ears when i got out the car.

took it off now and but original middle box back on.
what a wast of money :angry:

I know mine is a 1.6 but I have a pipe from the manifold to the backbox. OK so it rattles like feck and bangs because it literally rests on the middle support beam because I'm lazy but it's not loud til 3K, silent at thirty and quiet at 70.

Take a pic of it I might have it off you if you don't want it.

Post by: stainesy on 11 June 2011, 08:34: this is my back box. double can witch is like a twin bass box so it just made the strait through middle pipe extra deep and bone shakingly loud.

there is no way anybody could have ignored mine the bass inside the car from it was unbarable to the point of making me feel sick.
there is no diferance in sound from having strait through exhaust with no back box to having the backbox fitted to it.
infact the twin cans made it deeper and more gut renching.

yes it is.
i says in the add 50mm diamiter pipe so i asumed it ment the hole pipe was 50mm and one end would be bigger to sleave over but both ends were 50mm even the sleave bit and the other end. the main middle pipe looked smaller than 50mm.
