WhackyWill Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hi Guys got a quick clip for you of the exhaust https://www.youtube....h?v=YtydBg8z3Jw Take a look That sounds sweet.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstraw Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Sounds pretty good ESP for the price! Sounds exotic. Maybe I've us a vid after 1000 miles when it's all coked up. Will sound different then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayster Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 It sounds epic still haven't got a video for you guys yet though. We were able to use the standard gasket. The only issue I had was the bolts were seized and all snapped so had to drill them. But apart from that the exhaust fit perfect, Right seen your video and I'm sold - I have bought some! Love them. My car is the same age and looking at the bolts they look like they are gonna need replacing too even if I pb blast them. So thought I'd get some new bolts ahead of fitting them - any advice on what sort of bolts I need and where to buy? Thx!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chubbster Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Sounds good matey, any drone? Be honest now...! Yes, this is the key question for me too. The price, quality and acceleration noise seem to be good, but if there's any drone when I'm just pootling along, or even under gentle acceleration, I might not buy it. So, as Ekona says, be honest - is there any drone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hi All, I am not sure what bolts you need as my mate just fitted mine at his garage, We ended up having to grind the bolts off and then drill through them. There is a drone like if your cruising in 6th at about 65 then you go up a hill you do get a drone but my girlfriend has a Mini cooper S with a cobra exhaust and the drone on that is so much worse. There is a drone but its only about 65mph in 6th or when pulling up a hill. Cruising at 70, 80, 90 there is no drone and can stick cruise control on and cant even tell you have an Aftermarket exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hi All, I have worked out properly where the drone is, There is a drone at about between 3000 and 3100 RPM its worse when the car is cold but once it gets warm the drone is no where near as bad, I have got a video but its very poor quality as trying to drive and film proved difficult so sorry for the poor quality and stopping and starting haha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jcx_k1p91Ug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gstraw Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Just had a look at the link and does this just remove the rear back box? It doesn't add any replacement silencers right? Just wondering how this is any different to an exhaust place just putting straight pipe from the down pipes? Is it any different? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering how this is any different to an exhaust place just putting straight pipe from the down pipes? Is it any different? Thanks There probably wouldn't be much difference at all but this Exhaust I have got is basically the same as the AAM Short Tails but the exhaust I have and the AAM Short tails is difference. I am guessing it might be to do with where the bends are in the rear section. Because the exhaust I have has a pretty sharp bend where I know the AAM Short tails is a lot straighter. I have no idea whether this is why they sound different but I guess so as that's the only difference between the two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not taking my car so don't know the track limitations, I will download a DB tester and get a reading for you this weekend Its usually about 98db @ 4k rpm for a track. I can't imagine this being more than that with just the BB removed but you never know!

Ekona Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Stock cat and y-pipe + K1 was coming out at 104dB. I cannot believe this would be any quieter. If you have a loud exhaust, you have a duty to quieten it down before going near a track for the sake of us all.

busa1300 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 If the short tails are a bit too loud i've just fitted some Top speed pro1 axleback exhausts which has removable baffles will get a video up tomorrow. Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
370Ad Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Cheers for the photos mate. Unfortunately I have a pet hate for exhausts that stick out too far....its the OCD in me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Oh god I'd never noticed that, now it annoys me too I've got massive OCD issues over the daftest of things, I guess I'd better add this to my list now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
