Considering having de-catted

[paulhaveawhisky]

Have a Tuscan MK2, which I am considering having de-catted. But concerned it will be too loud. I have standard cans on, but have had them sleeved. Is there anyone in the South East (I am in Kent) that I could meet up with and have a listen to there’s, if it has been de-catted.

Any help much appreciated.

Hi Paul,

I have a decatted MKI with CCC's - tapered decat pipes from NTEL too. If you are in the Ashford area anytime you are more than welcome to drop by, drop me a mail if you want to arrange a time/place.

Cheers

Just about to decat mine after buying a pair from NTEL. Will see how loud it is with standard cans (Not Sleeved)then sleeve if not loud enough.

Hi Andy,

That would be ready great. I am fairly free this week, day time or evening, that ever suits you best? Could meet you where ever you want?

regards
Paul

Hi,
Was down in Brighton on the weekend and one of the chaps (Simon)had a Blue T350 with NTEL pipes. God was it LOUD, but brillant. Thats what has got me interested. Will be interested to see how you get on?

I have the NTEL decat pipes on my Tuscan S with Blueflame titanum end cans, a bit of a deeper sounds at idle speed, although quiet a bit louder above 3K RPM, maybe would be a bit too loud with CCC'S or sleeved cans.

Standard cans with decats are a bit too tame for most peolpes liking. Try different lengths of sleeve. I think you will find that, rather than fully sleeving, if you just put a 2/3 or 3/4 sleeve in there it will be just right.

Have they got to you yet Steve?

Paul, due to the layout of the Tuscan exhaust it will not sound as good as a decatted T350 or Tamora IMHO. I will be taking out the corner cans on my tusan shortly and replacing them with very short silencers to absorb the higher frequency noise. Then, coupled with straight through large bore end cans, it should be really deep and throaty. I'll let you guys know the results when I have done it.

NTEL,

At work at the mo, might have a nice surprise when I get home. I've got plenty of scope as da_murphster has got some CCC's so we are going to experiment with different set-ups until I find one loud enough to compete with a 4.5 Cerb (Not holding my breath on that one though)

Hi NTEL,

Would be very interested on the result. Please let me know when you have carried this out. I am up in the North West next week and could also drop over your way to see the result if that would be ok?

Cheers

My Tuscan as been decatted & is fitted with CCC's. I live in North Wales, I'll start it up around 18.00 tonight, if you listen hard you should be able to hear it...

[nelly1]

You can hear the difference between standard and de-catted/CCC's here...

The standard Tuscan starts its run @ 6:50, the modded one (mine ) straight afterwards @ 8:00.

...if you want to go the whole hog with de-cat and not much else; ie - straight through from de-cat back - no silencing at all - there's a quite noisy T350 @ 1:55...

Great deep throaty sound, Excellent,

My Tuscan MK2 is temporally decatted and it is to loud for track days; > 95 db above 5000 rpm.

Is that with standard cans or aftermarket?
