Woody Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 K2 if you dont want to be too loud. K1 if you want to sound like the devil gargling nails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Exhaust have their own HUGE section on the forum. I suggest a search, then read the 300+ threads that all ask the same question as you. Then take all those threads advice, and get to a local meet and have a listen to what folks have, and chose what suits you best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrnet Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 I'm beginning to think you guys are right so that's what I'm going to do, just want subtle and different but I'm thinking subtle doesn't really apply to a 350 zed exhaust mod does it!!?

mattbowey Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 imo it sounds amazing going up through the gears, especially high revs, but it does get on my nerves on long runs. luckily i dont do many long runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's all about personal taste, I use mine as an everyday commuter 18 miles each way on motorways so a K1 was never an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's all about personal taste, I use mine as an everyday commuter 18 miles each way on motorways so a K1 was never an option I use mine as an everyday commuter 33miles a day and have a K1. With the bungs in it sounds lovely take them out and its too loud for commuting. My bungs are currently out but will be going back in soon, just can't get enough of the popping and banging on over run at the moment.

mattbowey Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 i have never had the bungs in it lol, think i would have to if i had that kind of drive everyday. when i am back at college i have to go 25 miles 2 days a week but the traffic is normally so bad the noise doesnt bother me.
