Going back to a standard exhaust

[SonicHedgeHog]

My new Tamora has a sports decat and a sports exhaust. Don’t know which manufacturer. Nice sound with lots of pops on the overrun but a bit too loud to use early in the morning when my neighbour’s toddlers are sleeping.

How do I make it quieter? Do I need to get another cat and exhaust or just one of them? Or is there another solution?

Thanks for the replies chaps. The silencers are a clever idea but they’ll end up rattling around in the boot when I take them off, plus I’d probably get a bit mucky doing it and that wouldn’t work with my work clothes.

WRT to changing the exhaust...would just changing the back box do it? I don’t know why but I’ve got it into my head that the sports decat is the noisiest component. Unfortunately it’s probably the most expensive so if I could keep that and just change the back box that would be perfect.

That’s a really kind offer. Thank you. I’m near Guildford so not too far. I’m struggling to find anywhere with a standard cat and back box for sale. Can anyone give me an idea of price?

I’m working late all week and so can’t do Thursday. As I say I can’t find any reference to the price of new cats or back boxes. What kind of condition are your cats in and how much would you be looking for them?

Popping out now...will reply later. Cheers

It isn’t bad at all. It’s just different. My neighbours kids have a bedroom at the front of the house. They’re in bed by 7.30. If I have an early start I’ll wake them and if I have a late finish I’ll wake them.

The pops and crackles with the sports exhaust and decat are fun. It’s also fun giving the loud pedal a little squeeze when you start up in a busy area. Even on the motorway they’re ok. I did 150miles when I picked the car up and it was no problem at all.
