LRF4N Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 decided to go ahead with the custom exhaust, went for a single back box with oval tailpipes, looks the part but sounds much quieter than i expected. i did ask for somethin subtle cos i didnt want it to sound like a scooby but i feel i cant even hear the grunt of engine even with an induction kit. is this cos iv been used to it sounding really loud when it was broken? iv been told it sounds fine but im not sure... it does sound good from outside but sounds more refined when im driving it. anyway heres how it looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I would let it settle in for a while irfan, mine defo sounded better after a couple of weeks! But if not am sure there is something he culd do to make it sound meaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 wel wait n see mate. think i should take a trip to braehead to hear it in the underground carpark lol get a move on with ur packing craig! ul sleep in for ur flight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddmroadster350z Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Certainly looks good mate Will reserve judgement on sound to when I hear it You don't want it to be loud when you are cruising but loud loud when you floor it. They can tweak it to what you want if it's done right, usually by engine revs. get down to the tunnel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragus Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I would let it settle in for a while irfan, mine defo sounded better after a couple of weeks! But if not am sure there is something he culd do to make it sound meaner I will drill some holes in it for you! That oughta noise it up a bit I am all packed ready to go Irfan......think i could get a nismo exhaust in my case and through customs?

LRF4N Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 worth a try mate! i dont think i would lol but u might! safe journey bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 love the look of that, looks very nice as for sound just give it some time. all exhausts sound different when new. give it some time to carbon up a bit and bed in and you'll notice a difference. also i had a 2nd hand exhaust fitted to mine, so it was already carboned up, but it sounded quite. i found you also need to give the car a good tank of fuel or 2 through it for the car to tune it in properly. it might not make any gains but the car works within the new air flow parameters.

rtbiscuit Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 also while i remember the builder should be able to tune it if i remember rightly i have heard of custom builds being tuned. and that if you want it louder they should be able to do that. also whats the little lip spoiler above the rear window i really like that, who makes it?

S1 HNK Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 i had exactly the same problem mate, i had a custom exhaust made (very similiar style actually) and asked for it to be not too loud, when i first got it is was very quiet and i was dissapointed but now its run in (3 months later) it sounds lovely and is perfect for me, great at low revs and not loud at all when cruising.
