Just bought......A 3" system! ***fitted***

[Wazzzer]

They are big ass Mikalors lol

Might give a U clamp a go though

That looks pretty damn nice Wazzzer. Be interesting to see what you think of the sound. Is it much louder than the blueflame? 3" is never going to be a quite affair though.

Btw, do you know a guy called Gaaables?

I used U clamps on all the joints apart from the axle joint Wazzer,

I had Mikalors, but even cranked up with the imact gun they just wern't enough to clamp it to stop rotation.

80mm U-clamps on there now cranked down with the impact gun and it's solid. The slip joints ARE too slack on these, but it's easily worked around with some bad-ass clamps

Looking good, I'd be interested to hear how loud it is, as mine's not loud in the slightest :S

[Wazzzer]

I'll download an app for the phone  later and see what it says. Will get some U clamps later

[Prawny]

I tried the apps, it just bounced around a lot.

Very interested to hear yours though, I was SO surprised when I fired mine up and it was quiet, I mean, really quiet! can happily standard behind the car on idle and chat away and it's not intrusive at all. doesn't even drone.

I did cut off the inward rolled lip on mine (what's the point in an inward rolled lip to trap gasses and reduce the CSA?), but yours hasn't got one either being down turned.

Most odd. I'll get a vid of mine on the dyno on sunday

haha nice job wazzzer, i had to cut a tiny bit of my peasant plastic valance so my 45 degree downturn would fit, im going for anni valance smoothed in to the rest of the bumper so i will have to chop mine down too!

so these u clamps are the best way are they?? i spent 25 quid on them Mikalor clamps!

[Prawny]

Mikalors are a fantastic clamp, and give a great even pressure all the way round.

sadly, in this instance, what you really want is a big bastard U-clamps to crush the bastards together!

I had to use an impact gun on the Mikalor over the axle to get it to tighten down, and mikalors do have a habbit of popping off the spot welds there they roll around the thread if you overtighten.

All in all though, I LOVE this exhaust. it's amazing.

I've just tried it with an app on mine, from about a metre away at the valance level it's reading 77db.

Tick over is fine, it's just a bit loud when cruising. I'll give it till Christmas to decide whether to get another box added in. Once I get my windscreen mount for my phone I'll get some vids of driving. First thing to do is get the clamps sorted

I do love it though, we've got got it spot on with no knocking or banging even going over some harsh speed bumps

[Wazzzer]

update - missus and kids have spoken; an extra box will be added in shortly. Does anyone have the exhaust to hand so I can get a measurement of the resonator? This ideally where I'd like to fit the extra box
