exhaust question

[ARDA]

hi as everyone know i m still trying to finish the car , my exhausts back boxes are all bent so i need new ones , is it legal to have straight pipes after the cat converter and would it effect my performance or not a good idea to put straight pipes for any reason ?
please help

[caduceus]

A couple of people have tried straight through pipes, and they didn't stay on there very long from memory. Just too rough to live with.

you mean its just loud ?

Do you have the sports exhaust on already?

Yes it's too loud, have sports pipes on mine and you can't hear others speaking to you above 4000rpm

It will be as loud as Phuck, and sound awful.

i had the sport exhaust but they smashed up when it crashed , so everyone says its gonna be loud with straight pipes , cool i sat the sport back pipes for 270 pound i might as well buy them

If it helps, I have the ACT 6 silencer system and it sounds very nice from the outside de-catted.

Not too loud inside, but still too loud for track days.

With the catts in it's almost sensible!

I have straight though pipes and it is loud. I use trackday silencers for everyday use and only take them out when I want to be a total hooligan. Unless you are giving it grief, it does sound crap - and loud!

By law you have to have silenced pipes, so as a sop to this, my back boxes are still fitted, but sleeved.

YOU ALL probably seen the video when i first started the car i had no pipes after the cats , and it was fking loud i thought i was gonnna be deaf
, i will put the sport back boxes as they are not expensive , hopefully i ll meet all of you at chadsworth , tryin to finish to car for that event

I would go for replacement boxes mate. Unless you need a quick fix, but it really will be too loud for road and not allowed on most track. Fingers crossed for you to get it finished before then. Will be quite an achievement!
