Well, I got my silencers installed finally in my '91 TII. Things I have noticed:

-You can talk in normal voices behind my car at idle
-My girlfriend dosn't wear ear plugs in the car on long trips. I don't either
-My ears don't ring after normal drives with windows
-Other car alarms don't warn me of my presence
-My low end torque is in exsistence (What little I can use during the engine breakin)
-People don't look at me

Negatives
-That sweet ear numbing sound is choked off
-My 4.5" tail pipes are reduced to about 2". It is like a minature leaf blower with the rate the exhaust comes out.

When I get this thing on a dyno I will do a run with them in to see what the losses and gains are.

That's why I'm not a big fan of off-the-shelf dual systems. They all seem to be sized to reduce noise heaps over the single, whereas a custom dual can be sized to whatever you want, meaning it can flow as much as (or even more than) a single, yet still be quieter. And you can run 4½" tips if you want to!

 

turborotor has the same exhaust. silencers are good for when you don't want to rattle the ground

 

Hehe....I love how it rattles things. Amazing how such a small engine can make soooo much noise

5th gear, WOT, 1K rpm...

 

What is the best size for the Tips/ in your opinion? Does 4" look to big?

There seems to be alot of 3" systems with 4" tips out there are they very loud on a T2 (Duel)?

 

Alot of epople say they don't like their tips bigger than the rest of their exhaust piping, but its a matter of opinion. Unless you weld two trash cans on the back of your 7, then I would have to kill you.

 

I was thinking along the lines of a 3" going to 2x2.5" with 2x4" tips.

Would you say thats OTT?

 

Hell no! That's exactly what I have and I love it; I think it looks great.

 

with the ***-plugs installed you will see a drop in power. But they do a great job of quieting it down.
