Jacko Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hi guys, Just to let you know that I've got my appointment booked later on today at TDi North to get my exhaust swapped to the DC Sports cat back system that I got. Looking forward to hearing my baby growl later on tonight! :kicking I'll let you know how it gets on and the service etc at TDi. Might try to get some pics taken at the same time.....

Jacko Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Hi guys!.... Sorry, after it got fitted last night. I was around at the woman's and didn't have any internet access. But its fitted now Paul at TDi North (top bloke) kindly fitted it for me last night. I'll post up a proper post with pics etc (including some other cars that were there) but first impressions:- 1) As soon as you turn the key, there's a really DEEP growl and then settles to a low but menacing burble. 2) Low to mid revs's its got a really deep loud growl. 3) Over about 4k then it turns into a bit of a loud bandshee wail 5) Don't know if its a subjective thing, but the mid-range seems to fly by So so far so good I'm not sure its offensively loud, but its loud! Last night I have to admit, that I wasn't sure whether I liked the low down sound but its been growing on me today Have to admit though, as the exhaust wasn't brand new, the nice shiny end caps I had on my standard exhaust looked better (cleaner) although the exits of this are obviously bigger. Will have to find some way of getting through all the crud. I've tried Silvo.... Gotta go back soon though to get two new gaskets on a section join as the ones that came with it were a big shagged But they ain't expensive, so rather do it. I'll post some pics up later on, when I get home...... and of course you can hear at soon at your local JAE store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 curious to hear this now Actually I want to do a comparison next time we meet up mate. I'll go for a passenger spin in yours etc and you in mine (if you want) then can see the difference in volume etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Sounds like you're a bit unsure on this one mate. Too loud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Sounds like you're a bit unsure on this one mate. Too loud? Not too loud. Just not 100% sure of the low down burble all the time at the mo. Want to make sure that its similar to other exhausts and not got a duffer etc But think part of it might be just getting used to a much louder exhaust!

I'm just interested to hear the sound of your's (or someone else's with less crappy wit ) just as a comparison. NOT because I expect it to sound like each other.....

Jacko Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 What's next then now you've got your grille and your zorst? Well, I want some wheels next, but considering the price of them. I might wait for a while, unless I can get an extremely good deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to pull out of the Nismo zorst GB which is still giving me sleepless nights. Who needs two kidneys anyway......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
