Evening all I ordered the draft 42 design exhaust jobbie off eBay today, those running them can you tell me how noisy they are at 3k on the motorway?
-
What gearbox you got to be able to do 3000mph?? :laugh: :grin:
-
You ordered a 3" with decat? If so they are very loud at 2.5k-3.5k, really booming and loud. Anything over or under that range is just about acceptable, but it is by no means a quiet exhaust.
-
Link to eBay mate?

Do you find it too loud then :undecided:

This is the link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/99-04-VW-Golf-MK4-3-1-8L-Turbo-Full-Catback-Exhaust-w-Downpipe-/380448995389?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item589486f83d#ht_2661wt_827
I wasn't expecting it to be quiet, :grin: when yours was installed Dom did you have to get your lambda mapped out? I have an ARZ with 2 lambda sensors and also once installed would it be a good idea to go and see nick and get the map tweaked? Or is there no point?
-
Ive got fitted and If im honest I think they are very much so UNDER-PRICED for what you recieve :shocked: :cool:
The quality is A***: welds, Bends, material etc etc.
Regards to noise, even though they are 3" straight through pipe, they are fairly quiet inside the car.
there are some videos in my project thread near the bottom of the page!

Thank you mate I will have a look at some point when I'm free. Also how long did you wait for it to be delivered? I ordered mine from jdmhonda And it says 2 business days? That can't be right!
-
Thew Chris your misses sounds cold on ur vid..brrrrr
-
is that resonated?
-
i was lookin at the same system but i didnt kno its a draft 42 zorst i looked through the discription bt it dnt says it
-
There is other identical ones on the bay that do say it but I only went with them as I know people have got the her from the us and rather that then it not arrive

Ex misses now :grin:
is that resonated?
3" diameterturbo back (whole system ) down pipe, decat, mid section etc, the only resonated part is the back box :smiley:
-
argh. the more threadsI read about these exhausts the more i think I need one!

Same here mate...
Ideally though I'd want to mate it to my Milltek sports cat...
-
Shame your milltek goes down to 2.5'' really isn't it? I'm going to buy one of the ebay systems then sell on the downpipe as it's no use to me. My current Milltek non res system is good, but it's very quiet and not really loud enough. I fancy one of these, and have a cunning idea for how an extra silencer could be bolted onto the back for trackdays if it were too loud as well :)
-
Yeah it does mate. Or the other alternative would be to get this welded in the downpipe...

:smiley:
-
Seems like a better bet! You'd probably get £150-200 for your milltek down pipe, which would almost pay for the turbo back US system, leaving you only the sports cat to buy!
The nature of the downpipe on the US system lends itself very nicely to just chopping in a cat like that!
Win win win. Just linked my credit card to my paypal, as soon as it's confirmed I'll be ordering!
-
They are a top quality exhaust for the money and sound great under load and are by no means crazy loud at motorway speed easily copeable

I'm resisting at the mo lol.... Plus I'll have my discrete Blueflame system to sell too :laugh:
Just had a look and I reckon the cat could go where the flexi is then move the flexi up a bit...or would it work in the second section of the downpipe if the lambda hole was removed...?
-
Wouldn't mess with the downpipe section, I'd put it in the decat bit. Should fit inbetween the two lamda holes no trouble :)
-
hi guys, does anyone have a pic of how this exhaust comes in the box? Size etc?
Im only asking as a friend of mine is visiting the states + is trying to bring this back with him.
Did anyne who got it shipped to their uk address get charged import tax?
thanks
-
These are not actually 42 draft exhausts though are they? Using magnaflow silencers?
It's just a copy design?
The original draft exhausts are cheap in the US.
But places like awesome smack a hefty premium
-
I got charged import tax but the seller kindly refunded it, bought mine a ling time ago though..
Not sure which seller you lot are on about but pretty damn sure that mine was 'Racerbits' or something very similar.
-
I got mine from jdmhondaparts and no import tax :smiley:

-

But they arnt exact measurements
-

Apart from the one you posted is listed as cat back and the other is a full turbo back system.
-
it is listed as a cat back but in the discription it says "cat back exhaust with de-cat" :undecided:
-
Another pic for you
(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/SHORTY14_2006/2011-11-20121216.jpg)
I think you would struggle to fit it in a suit case tbh
-
im thinking he might struggle a little too lol
He did manage to bring back a full supercharger kit for a nissan titan a couple of years ago but alot has changed in airports since then
-
Loud?
i was going to take the middle silencer out of mine... wasn't loud enough!
I was going to do this before I fitted it, glad I didn't though, was loud enough!
