GUT the CAT......

my car has a 3" all the way with a 3.5" tip and a gutted cat and is way too loud.... i gat paranoid going over 4000 revs and at 5000 it sounds like i am trying to wake the dead....

As an added bonus the car now occasionally spits flame out the pipe.

I bought my car like that, but hear that all you have to do to "gut" the cat is unbolt it, open it and hit the shit out of the insides with a hammer.

P.S. i am getting a propper hi-flow cat put on as soon as i get some money... its just too loud... but if your into that sort of thing.

Why do you want it louder? It's only asking for attention.

You want something free flowing and quiet.

because the louder it is the more girls you get, unfortunatley these girls wear police uniforms and hand out defect notices.

my car is pretty loud

on one occasion got pulled over and the cop goes "mate thats not an exhaust, thats a drain pipe"

I like women in uniform:wassup:

They have handcuffs and clubs:spank:

Hey I just wondering if you guyz can help me out here..

Ok I have a 5" exhaust and its pretty loud but I have heard other cars which are even louder...so I want to know what I can do to make my car even louder. Would a cam pully on the exhaust side make it louder?

Simple, bigger turbo, more boost, longer duration cams, higher compression ratio, more rpm, shorter gears, lower diff ratio, more engine capacity (3.1 litres is good), trumpet on the BOV, make that two trumpets, no mufflers, no cat ..............

If all else fails get a BIG stereo, record the engine noise on the dyno and play it back when the car is idling along. :wassup:

5 inch?

MY wang is still bigger than yours

LOL, superb, just superb.

as for the louder exhuast...why? The idea of an exhuast is flow (you'd like a nice note as well but not stupidly loud). What are you planning to do have a sound off with a 747 at full throttle? :(

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
