What is your exhaust setup and why?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've got an Invidia Gemini with burnt ti slash cut tips. Initially wanted the Ark grip because it looked awesome but couldn't justify the (small) extra at the time, ran it for a couple of months, sounds lovely but I felt it was lacking top end (for my liking), Fitted some cobra unresonated test pipes (cost me the difference between the Ark and the Invidia funnily enough...) but oh man, cannot be happier now, fairly quiet when cruising but a real head turner WOT, has a lovely burble to it, really brings out the v6 note.

Berks HFCs, Cobra Y-pipe and an Agency Power single bore outlet. :teeth: Tasty!!

You enjoying? :D

Very much Grundy. I don't regret it for a second. Next door neighbour's dog does though. Scared the daylights out of it starting up the zed on Sunday morning :teeth:

At the moment I have a Japspeed K1 fitted, it's not really my cup of tea..

 

 

 

Why do I have it?

 

Was on there when I bought it.

 

 

 

Will I change it?

 

Yes.

 

 

But I'm not really into loud, I just want a nice sound.

Dc sports ceramic manifolds, motordyne art decats, motordyne XYZ with resonator and cobra resonated mid and rear box. Car also has ultra light flywheel so revs out a lot quicker

 

 

Why that setup?

 

Didn't you just hear it!!!! That's why :lol:

Sory, a bit late to the party but the noisy ones always are...

 

Ahv got Art sports cats and HKS dual...

 

People jump when I start the car, the sound up to 3 is deep and burbly, at 3 off throttle no noise, drones at 4, mental wale anywere above that and he overrun on the downhift is intoxicating...

 

Love it...

 

On a side note, when I as 19 I had Chevette with a Bedford 2.3 in it (not the canted Lotus it should have been) with a straight through pipe to a Cherry Bomb... It went to eleven...

I had a few different setups on my Z.

 

Standard with ebay decats

 

Blitz Nur Spec, Ichiba Y-pipe, ebay decats

 

found that a bit quiet so cut out the middle silencer and changed to custom hi flow cats

 

found that too quiet so changed it to a GReddy single exit

 

found that too quiet so cut the middle pipe out again and changed to japspeed decats

 

then added DC headers

 

Then changed to Tomei decats, custom Y-pipe and chucked a supercharger on it :teeth:

 

That thing was LOUD :scare: was 122DB at 4.5K RPM at Combe :lol:

I kept standard cats (needed for Hill-climb regs) but got a new Y-pipe to back-box fabricated up.

 

Went to a chap called Andy Ward in Barnsley. He has a great reputation for custom manifolds and such. He fired it together in a morning. We messed about a bit till it sounded ok.

 

Highly recommend it as the way to go. Got a nice rumble and bark - more than standard but not too loud.
