3" exhaust
« on: 26 October 2012, 08:32 »
My car is on the road after a week of public transport and long nights.
I need to ask you lads who are running the 3" exhaust from USA a few questions.
When i am in 1st gear and its under a bit of load, when i change to 2nd gear my backbox seems to be banging underneath, rather annoying, did anybody else get this problem?

Secondly, jesus will it quiten down? haha i really hope it does.

Here is a few pictures anyway:



Yes i know heat sheild isnt on in this picture.




A few things have been adjusted since taking the pictures.

Any comments and help would be appreciated.

Your missing the middle exhaust support.
You should have a black support bolted to the bottom of the car which holds the centre of the exhuast up using two rubber blocks.

Looks good though.

My 3inch exhuast also knocked on the rear valance but as you know I had a Bora. It was pretty quiet on idle but once on full chat it spat flames and was pretty loud. Sounded awsome though, I miss the noise  :cry:

haha i need to put my 45 degree downturn on then haha, currently running without it on, should have put it on before we put the exhaust on.
Its on the road now though so i need to tweak it and get it sitting right, there is quite a big difference going from a 1.6 - 1.8t!

took the DV off and also the SAI! need a pannel filter for the chatter now haha

don't remove your DV.

it's a foolish idea.

I'd imagine from the 'chatter' comment, that he is attempting to create a compressor stall situation.

Of course, I imagine this will be to fool the street racing opposition into thinking his DV is broken and thus lulling them into a false sense of security!
