Torquelover Neutral Newbie March 23, 2002 Author Share March 23, 2002 Fitted the 'low-volume' type Sounded like normal stock. The sound only came on after 4k rpm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie March 23, 2002 Share March 23, 2002 What's low-volume? FongKim told U tat? Did they explain to you in details how it works to be low-volume? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondeo Neutral Newbie March 23, 2002 Share March 23, 2002 Haven't heard the 'Low-volume', please get details to give me a brief . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torquelover Neutral Newbie March 25, 2002 Author Share March 25, 2002 Guys, No lah. The guy at FK asked me whether I wanted the loud types (aka Bengmobile exhaust - no flames please). Told him to install the 'as soft as possible' type. Dont now how to call the exhaust, so conveniently called it 'low-volume'. Anyway, the exhaust sounded no diff to stock unless the rev exceeds 4K.

Turbobrick Neutral Newbie March 25, 2002 Share March 25, 2002 AFAIK, to achieve a "softer" straight thru muffler, the size must be increased. Did U do a visual comparison between the "loud" and "soft" mufflers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torquelover Neutral Newbie March 26, 2002 Author Share March 26, 2002 The size of the 'softer' muffler was much bigger compare to the bengmobile type. But the diameter of the tail pipe for the bengmobile exhaust was at least 2.5inch (estimated). The guy mentioned that he is also selling mufflers with 3" tail pipe. Wow ! Must attract TP to your car like bees to honey man Anyway, even with the 'soft' exhaust, the sound gets quite irritating after a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madarmour Neutral Newbie March 26, 2002 Share March 26, 2002 3" tail pipe.....................hmmmm, looks familiar! Brick.........yours are closer to 4"!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie March 26, 2002 Share March 26, 2002 (edited) Hee... My Brick has a 100mm tail but bumper big and fat so don't look that big lah Edited March 26, 2002 by Turbobrick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie March 26, 2002 Share March 26, 2002 The tailpipe doesn't really matter, as long as it's equal or larger than the muffler diameter for outlet flow. There are 5" dunk pipe outlets too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondeo Neutral Newbie March 26, 2002 Share March 26, 2002 (edited) Make my think of my late renault Coupe (1.6l) also changed 'Supersprint' with 90mm tail pipe . Another thing was my renault did not got the same case as Rev can't or difficult to climb-up, logically, less back pressure then straight out to exhaust, rev up should be even more easier (whether U car can move or not), same as breaking at the exhaust, sound louder, rev up like rocket take-off, but car can't move faster.

Madarmour Neutral Newbie March 27, 2002 Share March 27, 2002 Well, I always believe it's better to buy a 'system' made specifically for a car and not the generic 'universal' type as those made fao a car type are usually dyno-tested to produce result. Some car, after putting on the generic exhaust, sounds fast but can't move fast! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madarmour Neutral Newbie March 27, 2002 Share March 27, 2002 I believe Richard can fit his fist into your tailpipe! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie March 27, 2002 Share March 27, 2002 Yeah a properly fabricated exhaust system meant for a particular car model will be superior to a mix and match set from the exhaust shop. Dyno tests, TUV, DOT stamps of quality are a plus of getting a branded tailored made system too. Richard's fist can fit meh? He just estimated, didn't put in lah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madarmour Neutral Newbie March 27, 2002 Share March 27, 2002 Well, that's what he said! He's the one who put his fist up close your tail pipe! Oops! The last sentence may give rise to lateral interpretations! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
