Cant decide if this is too much or not

Might see if i can get a small silencer from the bay.

Sounds fine to me, although it does wobble a bit when the driver gets in. :lol:

I'm glad you said that, & not me!

a small silencer is just perforated tube and wadding.
it will be fine for a week or so like mine was then get full of carbon and other diesel nasties
and be as loud as it was before you fitted the silencer.
spend your cash on something else!

Just out of interest, who supplied your exhaust?
I may need to replace the rear section of my 110.

[MudRat]

i found to make it quieter, i just turned down the volume on my PC,  :roll:  :-#

I got the tail pipe from a patern part place, and i made the mid pipe from some bits i had in the garage.

I could hear that in Northampton without the PC.. Nice tho

[Cassillis]

I've just done mine too. I went with a slightly larger bore 63mm straight through and exited it through the rear 1/4 panel.
I think it sounds the dogs doodas :twisted:

[Mark_Solesbury]

Cassillis you got any pics of yours, or a video so i can compare notes!

[Cassillis]

Your wish is my command  :D





63mm Pipe from my local motor factors in 2m lengths £25. Welding and grinding shaping and swearing, all free
D4x4 Finisher £30 delivered next day, bobs your uncle :lol:

see ive only made a mid section, and bought a proper rear section from a pattern part supplier.

How did you bend yours?

I think the mid section i made needs to be slightly longer though - the rear section does not sit correctly and sticks out about an inch to far...

I didn't have access to a pipe bender so I kept all the old bits of exhaust as it slowly fell apart. There's enough bends and angles in the original plus the extra 2m of straight section to make this. Trial and error to cut, grind and shape, tack it till it's right, then weld the sucker!

The rear silencer is just a resonator. Some people have said that the noise is too much a higher revs, so just have the resonator fitted .

Mark,

a friend of mine had a side exit exhaust made at Custom-car, they are on the Leyland industrial estate in Wellingborough, mate drilled the hole in his motor, they bent a piece of pipe up, added the hanger and then fitted it for £30, looks great and on a V8 sounds pretty cool too

[adafish]

just took mine off, had straight thru, out to me side exit....too loud at full chat, the people in front knew i was coming, honestly...With the pump tweeked, she did leave a lot of black smoke, but now i've but the old middle box back she sounds tame.....its a do i , don't regarding putting it back on....as for the bore of me side exit 3", to fit nicely inside the pipe finisher
