Exhaust

[Noodles]

I dont know if this would work or be a silly idea but could you get a off the self exhast manifold and have the back box coming as soon as possible off it and have it coming out just behind the front wheel providing you could find a small enough backbox??????? (Im gonna get shot for this question)

[Wessie]

isn't there a db limit for road cars bit loud

[Capripete]

Kinda like sidepipes? don't see why not long as its not too loud and no clearance probs.

[Noodles]

I dont know if there is a sound limit my tig is really loud when warmed up and it got though and MOT, but would it make a difference then if the pipe ran to the back and was a striaght though or would that be just as loud????

[Wessie]

it depends on what kind of silencer you put on it i dont know if anyone knows if theres a db limit for MOT's ? there must be

[Noodles]

I mean I wasnt gonna put a cherry bomb on it or anything I just wanna keep the exhaust away fron the rear axel and running gear.

They have no way of checking it !!! So no theres not.

 

There may be some sort of legal limit that I don't know about but an MOT man can't check it.

[Wessie]

sorted ! that means mine exhaust it gonna exit like kj's

[Noodles]

It just works out cheaper as well, and I can do it myself

The fuzz might not like the noise thought. I ended up in court over this, won the case though, fookers

nice one steve what they try to do you for?

[QuadCamCapri]

Think the limit for the road is 82db, but as mentioned they have no way of checking it at an MOT so it's at their discretion.

Last year I was told mine was too noisy so took it to a more old skool friendly place and he said as long as it's silenced and doesn't leak he's happy

A normal aspirated engine needs back pressure to help clear the exhaust gases, if the length of the exhaust is reduced this will affect engine efficiently and reduce power.

 

Apart from that you would probably go deaf in a week

[Wessie]

all your noise comes from the engine bay what a sound when you and fezza went up the strip

[Noodles]

Exactly I gotta get the exhaust sorted so it can be tuned properly but at some point I will want to lower it for maybe change the axel? I dont know. So I dont want it to keep getting in the way

Remember if you exit the exhaust by the back wheels....if the engine fails and oil comes out the exhaust its straight on ya tyres

Personally if you are using it on the road then you might fall fowl of the Section 59 Police Reform Act, where if you use your car in an anti-social way then your in the brown poopie stuff, If ppl complain about the noise then the old bill have got ya...

[Fiesta Steve]

So theres no actual legal limit then daggle

they'll have to catch me first

 

so i could do it as-long i make sure its not stupidly loud?

[erick]

For most of the legal shit on exhausts go to this web page http://www.motuk.co.uk/manual_710.htm

[Fiesta Steve]

It would seem to me that it doesn't matter how loud it is, if someone complains, your in trouble.

[Wessie]

hmm . . . might have to pay the neighbours to keep hush hush . . . or kidnap there cats and dogs

its possible to mod an of the shelf system for a sedan to fit an estate. All you need is to weld in a bend behind the rear axle and turn the back box on its side. If you are less lazy than me you straighten out the end that will point downwards after you have turned it so it looks better
