Exhaust options?

Am finiding my current exhaust too loud and wondered whats the best option to lose the loudness but not lose any powers gains?
Its currently got the Mongoose 3inch exhaust and decat with a unknown 5inch tailpipe?

I've got a Scorpion system on mine with just a single box and it's surprisingly quiet not sure about any power gains it gave as it was fitted when i bought it.

toaster What mods are u running with the scorpion exhaust

Isnt the scorpion a 2.5 " system though?

currenly got hks pistons, hks filter, prof dumpvalve, cossie head gasket, acl bearings, and the exhaust. i'll measure the out side diameter tomorrow but i think it might be still got a few bits to fit to the car but its faster than my golf and a lot quieter than my mini so i'm happy at the moment.

Yeh leighton am sure its 2.5"

It must be very quiet....Something i can defo do with

i was surprised when i got it to be honest,! as i need ear duffs for the mini and its single box too!

I just cant be doing with the loud boomy noise...Gets annoying

yeah know what you mean, especially on long journeys, i'm abit old now for setting of car alarms as i drive by, and my car looks fairly standard so didn't want it too be too loud and piss off the neighbours

Do they still make them for the pulsar i cant seem to find them listed anywhere mate?

Sometimes just feel like nipping out late at night and not pissing anyone off
When am close to the house i roll down towards the garage in neutral to cut the noise down lol
Yeh leighton I think i might get sum qoutes for a custom box if thats wat I need to reduce the sound?

don't know as i said mine came with it fitted already, but i have seen magnex do a decat that looks like another exhaust box, might help a bit to reduce noise, can't remember the bore of it think its 2.5 inch aswell, sometimes listed on ebay.

Departure system works for me ... not the best looking but about as quiet as you'll get an R
3 inch pipe front to back

Yeh u right they do look ugly thou

but when it's nice and quiet you appreciate it ..... and when i'm driving i have never looked at my exhaust ,, so who cares

Its not my cuppa tea but i think they look ok. ... And got to agree the noise is annoying on long journey but fook it who cares what the nieghbours think buy them ear plugs for xmas

The R is louder than the freakin dogs
tbh i wana really hear the engine sound instead of a blowing booming sound.

I agree with you Leighton, sod the neighbours, some of mine make a hell of a racket when they come home pissed; so as they say, what goes around comes around.

what decat or silanced decat ? Also suprising how changing the 5 inch tail pipe for a 3 makes a difference

Am sure its fitted with a silanced decat

If you look usy underneath inline with the door it should look like a stubby box rather than a pipe with two flanges on

arrh... Cheers Leighton i'll have a look

Yep its a got a little box thier

Then you have a silenced decat by the sounds of it i think your cheapest option would be to add a box on the end rather than buy another system not unless a second hand one comes up.
