Can you

[tattooboy]

run a Monaro VXR with no silencers at all, would it cause any ill effects on the engine, would there be too much drone inside the car?

No ill effects, probably dro9ne badly though.

I drove my HSV GTS for just over a year without cats, mufflers/silencers which was great, I had 11 penalty points then & my reasoning was to keep it within speed limits with no ‘stealth factor’ available. With the added noise it brought a lot of attention to the car but I did not get pulled.

Disadvantages, paranoia about a roadside emission checks, enforced MOT etc. especially in London.
The smell on start up & in traffic – petrol (especially with pops & bangs/ fire out of the exhaust)

Head & ear aches from the sound pressure levels

Seriously not so good for cruising, 80 MPH was booming to say the least, full bore acceleration was better than s*x though!

Clip here (needs some amplification to hear it though, exiting a PH meet)

It will drone v badly, its great fun but if you simply want to get from A to B and cant be chewed with the noise i.e a hangover its a major pain in the arse.

I did a 3 hour journey non stop in mine and putting it basically had a migrane for the rest of that night, only the next morning did it go away!

[bovered79]

Is it an MOT failure??

[Tattooboy]

Oh would it really be that bad? am running 2 of the smallest silencers at the rear only, had the other 3 removed, was kinder hoping removing the small rear ones wouldn't make that much difference. It does drone a little at the moment so wouldn't really want to make it any worse. maybe before I make any decesions will prob be best to remove the rear silencers then start it up, see what it sounds like. Thanks for the responses so far, always appreciated.

Have you had the manifolds done?

Ive got the Wortec loud exhaust which has 2 what are meant to be silencers on the rear, basically a slightly thicker pipe with some sound deadening lining them which appears to do bugger all, they were loud before but once changed the manifolds the noise is silly now!

No, not had the maifolds done, mortgage takes most of my hard earned money might have to just be thankful I have a Monaro

Think the first silencer after the cats is actually a resonator to stop or reduce drone ?

Yes you can!

Thats what im doing on mine. I have no rear silencers, only straight through pipes and standard tips. The sound is fine, according to the fish a bit oulder than a Wortec. It passed its MOT in this condition last year with no probs.

Someone def in the know !! What does it sound like inside the car, is it bearable? Have you had any probs from the Boys in Blue?

I have done a 5hr drive to Betws y coed and suffered no headaches. It sounds loud when you open the throttle but, if you want to chug around in 6th then its its a low, but noticable, burble.

Not had any problems from the pigs, but I would keep it below 4000 rpm with them in the vacinity regardless. There are plenty of gary-lager mobiles out there with stoopid exhausts that are louder than mine. You are welcome to hear mine if you are ever around.

Thanks very much for your input, may just give the straight thro a go when my new exhaust ends turn up :thumbsup: I can always do it in a way where if it does turn out too loud or annoying I can easily put the rear silencers back on. I did notice on your profile you are in Surrey, I'm often over there in Oxted so hopefully it's not too far from where you are.

Yep, if you do not like it, just stick em back in.

The profile is out of date as I recently moved to Herts! Must get round to updating that.
