loud exhaust?

[daztuscan]

I love the sound of my tuscan but i want to make it louder!

I dont want to put the insurance up with an aftermarket exhaust. Also i'm mates with my MOT mechanic, so no issues with emissions.

can i remove the baffles from the exhaust/de-cat it myself. and what would these do to to the sound?

thanks Daz

Hi Daz

If you have the standard cans then you can sleeve them, this involves inserting a tube into the originals, thereby creating a straight through can, if you google there is a full guide including the lengths of the tube and diameters needed. Very straight forward, if I can find it I'll post it. Only thing to watch is that they haven't been done before.

Great thanks, do you know where i can get the sleves? and what will that do to the sound? What about de cat? will that make much difference?

cheers

I've done this and it is really easy - I did both sides in an hour start to finish. Neighbour helped (and then wished he hadn't )

You'll need 51mm outside diameter (O/D) stainless pipe, loads of places on the web can supply. Think mine was about £30 delivered.

Make sure your hacksaw blades are new as cutting stainless is harder than mild steel and use a half round file to dress the end into a radius for easier fitting.

Hi daztuscan,
I've sleeved and de-catted my Tuscan but am still not happy with the sound.
Now thinking CCC cans and maybe re-cat if toooooooo loud.

I'll e-mail you a short video of the sound now.

Hi daztuscan,

my opinion is the same like Tony's. My Tuscan S (decatted and full sleeved) is not really driveable, it is too loud and the quality of the sound is poor (my opinion). I can sell You my Exhaust Carbon Cans fully sleeved - if you want to have them... That is the reason why I'm searching for a pair of quiete Tuscan S carbon cans (I would like to have original ones)...

best regards

IIRC length required is 400mm. I put copperslip on the first 50mm of the 'sleeves' and then tapped into place with a soft face hammer (I used a short length of gash tube for the final positioning).

For maximum effect, make sure all the perforations on the existing sleeve are covered. Only gets noticeably noisy at +3000 rpm and - - pops & bangs on overrun.

Another option is to just partially sleeve the original cans (approx halfway on each) as a decat and fully sleeved/CCC's can be a bit much and overly harsh/tinny.

Partially sleeving will increase the volume and bass but will keep the tinniness in check.
