im sure for pre 83 cars its 94-96? and for cars made after that its been dropped to 90 now.

you could just say stuff it and whenever you see a cop push in the clutch and idle past hehehe.

Did he win the Golden Muffler Award (tm) too?

it:

nat_daly · 06-08-2005, 05:40 PM

has he removed the muffler?

FordFan86 · 06-08-2005, 06:01 PM

His coupe run's (12's?) on avgas and drowned out my stereo up fairly loud while overtaking someone 3 cars ahead of me.... ing LOUD! He runs a twin system with 2 mufflers and that's it a i think. He said it was a fairly straight exhaust system so the gases didn't really get slowed down... i'm sure he can tell you more about it than i can.

90dB at 3000 rpm(?)

It doesn't take much above the stock system, that's for sure. I got my system done on my BA with the proviso that it had a decent bark across the rev range but didn't scream when I stuck the boot in. Been into a few booze buses then and not raised an eyebrow.

Exhaust noise has been cracked down heavily in Sydney recently. When I had my system done, there were several cars in there getting theirs reworked after a defect notice for too much noise.

its going to drop even further in 2006

stiddy · 07-08-2005, 02:48 PM

ive got an AU XR6 with a 3in high flow cat, 3in mandrel bent exhaust pipe and only one small 14in straight through muffler.. and yeah its bloody loud but i havent really had any trouble from police.. (yet) but i dont go round on full noise past coppers..

Citric GT · 07-08-2005, 03:55 PM

I'm contemplating removing my one and only muffler too. All that will be left is the resonator at the back.

I decided not to worry about the noise regulation because if all those habibs can get around with 100+db exhausts on Honda Civics, I should be able to in a sweet Windsor...

nat_daly · 07-08-2005, 03:59 PM

ahh good someone agrees, and yeah your right you see riceburners with 5 inch tips running way out of the legal range.. the way i see it $70 for a louder car and more throttle response is a cheaper alternative

haha another guya know has one of these and honestly i can say that it would look(and sound better with a baked beans can, he gets so much as all my mates are ford fans.. haha

benXaGt · 07-08-2005, 04:10 PM

So what car do you have?

Yeah ive owned 2 cars now and im 21 years old a xa sedan and a xa coupe both 351's the coupe im paying of and the sedan i still own but i gave it to my brother in law for $2000 i spent about $8000 on the driveline and it handles really well it can take corners at like 70/80km/h and has no body roll but it got yellowed and taken off the road.

nat_daly · 07-08-2005, 04:16 PM

this is dissapointing but i only got an 1999 au falcon ..until i can afford a decent XB!!

so i want to make it as tough as i can but while not hurting the bank budget too much
you should of sold that to me!!! $2000 now thats a bargain for a 351

nat_daly · 07-08-2005, 04:28 PM

man id love one on each side for sure but yeah tell me about both and roughly how much you think it would cost...
cheers,

benXaGt · 07-08-2005, 03:58 PM

hahahaha sik yeah i had a 351 xa sedan when i was a P'plater and it had 3' straight through exhaust system with lukey mufflers you could hear me coming like 3-4 kms away same as my coupe really. Yeah i love the sound of a V8 nothing beats it. No way id get bored of it why do you think i bought another 1 cause there ace. The manual is way better sounding then my old c4 auto. Btw just dont draw attn to your car and the coppers wont hassle you out.

nat_daly · 07-08-2005, 04:24 PM

ratter · 07-08-2005, 04:33 PM

I personally think making a cars exhaust loud does not make it sound betterA good note does not need to be loud to sound good

:

nat_daly · 07-08-2005, 04:34 PM

that is awesome.. how fat are those tyres? damn!
so you know anything about those exhausts and how hard it is to convert the single pipe to either and prices?
