mark247 38 Report post Posted June 20, 2010 Make it quieter and go to the VTNZ and get another wof. Dependings on how you make it quieter will be the costly part. We fulled my mates motorcycle exhaust up with pinkbatts to shut it up once, I wouldn't recommend that though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubman 39 Report post Posted June 20, 2010 hey Heino, from your BS new members thread, your exhaust looked exactly like the one I had. I explored options to silence it, but just replaced it with OEM exhaust. Silencer wont fit due to the tips shape, cant add a resonator because there wont be any space UNLESS you have a straight through exhaust for a 316..... It costed me 100 bucks to change back to original. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tarrbaby 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2010 the only way to get rid of the green sticker is to either have the exhaust certified by an approved tester and then on the green sticker notice that the police issued you it will say whether you need to get a new wof or just take it to the issuing officer to check or else as said above, replace with factory system Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest E302.7T Report post Posted June 20, 2010 Just get a muffler or resonator welded in or you could do it yourself? or a silencer? Is it a straight through? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heino 1 Report post Posted June 20, 2010 I like the key words there... 'hacked away' Paints a lovely image of DIY car alterations. But yeah, just go back to an OEM exhaust. Brent would have some for sale at his yard. it was proffessionally done.... the paint on my car is immaculate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heino 1 Report post Posted June 20, 2010 The previous foolish owner who modified the exhaust for the worst after backing into a tree HACKED away at the lower apron/valance ( dont know what its called). It is now mangled and rusting. nasty surprise when i took the tech 2 rear off. Heino, if you just cut the bumper away to fit the exhaust, its not bad, bumper costs less than panel beater work. panel beater did do the alterations to the rear diffuser.

dreadful1 7 Report post Posted June 20, 2010 My vote is that you just go back to the standard OEM exhaust system, it would be abit quieter but should do the trick, IMO I don't really like to cruise around with a loud can all the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted June 21, 2010 The only logical answer here is to fix it. Don't listen to all the people wanking on about how they don't like your 4 banger car. Just get another resonator or muffler or something put in. If you go to pit stop or something with beers they normally will do it cheap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted June 21, 2010 An OEM exhaust can't be too expensive..If you don't want to spend lots of money buy 1 and you and someone who knows what they're doing can have a go at installing yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted June 21, 2010 This thread is getting so off topic Heino.... go and see Chris @ Pitstop in The Hub @ Botany... real good guy, tell him I sent you. You'll need a coby up front and a sports muffler on the rear with your tips off the old muffler welded onto it. Go see him for a price. We did it on a E30 316 that Matt owns now... sounds nice & it's legal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) As this is heading off topic i guess it means its my turn to chime in... imo just either run factory exhaust, or get a quieter exhaust made up... i had an exhaust that was 2 1/4" pipe into a forzaflow middle muffler (gated muffler) and into a cannon. it sounded nice and wasnt too loud. still very legal... if you make an exhaust that accomidates your cc then you can get a nice exhaust that still sounds good and is not too loud. if you make an exhaust that is too big for your car (more common than you would think) then thats when you get the bad sound and way too much noise... so imo if you want to keep the rear muffler you currently have put in a more effecient center muffler... ie a forzaflow or flowmaster...
