  1. Will I just got the cats and the balancing exhasut cut out, didnt need to remove rear mufflers as I already had them removed. We put a 16 inch coby in and when we started it up it sounded awesome idling. Unfortunately when drove of down the street under power it was like wot the hell!! it was so noisey so I went back and we stuck the rear mufflers back on, Now its back to even quieter than before and I cant stand it. so going to book car in to take off rear mufflers and put something less restrictive on the back.

    Does anyone know what sort of muffler to put on the back thats going to let it growl but not to loudly. Cheers guys for all your help so far, much appreciated

    Brent - In that photo you kindly posted on here what did it have for the rear mufflers?


  2. Didnt get the time to get my headers HPC coated during the swap, and after doing up all the exhaust nuts, removing them is not something I want to get into, getting them past the steering was higher priority than ease of install :rolleyes:

    Ive never actually played with exhaust wrap, have heard iffy stories about corrosion though?!

    Anyone have any experience with it, I figure I could probably do it with the manifold on which would be a much easier way to keep the engine bay heat down...

    Specifically looking at this stuff http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....mp;#entry391503

    Just a though,t I was told by a guy that its best to always wrap an exhaust as it takes the heat away from motor, yes I tried it and my exhaust basicly corroded withen the year, rather sad indeedy

  3. this one i wrecked long ago sounded like a proper v8 .

    here's a pic of what it had

    Excellant, thanks Brent looks similar to what Im thinking of doing.

    Did your one end up with the ( crossover 2 into one exhaust) taken out and a bit of pipe joined later down the exhaust for the crossover? ( looking at photo I think this is what I can see) Im thinking its that big crossover muffler where the sound is getting changed.

    Any ideas peoples on Apex's idea about the 2 pipes going into one? isnt this the standard set up of what that big original crossover muffler does? yes the one which Im thinking is causing my problem. Hmmm
