hi ,i finally at the grand old age of fifty:w00t:

have just purchased my first zx 300 t/turbo runs sweet but at anything under 60 mph the exhaust is deafening

i know i am a old fart but i do like a nice noise but this is too much . is there a simple answer maybe a aftermarket center box section or are there a less agressive back boxes PLEASE help any info welcome:excl:

Welcome to the club. What kind of exhaust is on it?

Does it have centre boxes? Could be a simple case of getting an exhaust shop to weld in two centre boxes, that's usually the cause.

Back boxes wont make much difference, it sounds like the cats were removed, which act as a silencer and therefore sounds like its running straight through to the rear boxes.

You can buy downpipes with silencers which help, also check to see if you have the X pipe just before the rear axle.

Take some pics lets see what's on it. Most common tend to be japspeed or mongoose.

hi only drove her home today the chap says they are scorpian exhausts cant see any center boxes but she is so low ill have to jack her up tomorrow

I think the scorpions are fairly loud

Congrats! Well you have the opposite problem to me haha.

 

Look forward to seeing photos of your new baby!! :D Congratulations

Scorpion exhaust isn't much louder than stock

I have scorpion quad exhausts on mine. I'd say they were defiantly a lot louder than stock :-/

Welcome to the club Jim and quite a few of us are in our 50's:thumbup1:

More members in their 50s than 20s

I run the mongoose cat back setup on mine its got a nice burble, nice and quiet but loud enough to let you know what's under the bonnet.

Well I'm not in my 50's !!!!!! Til next may anyway lol

 

Welcome to the club mate, guess u better have a good look and post up some pics, we be better able to advise then mate. Or there's a few of us down this way if u fancy nipping over :)

I run stock its the in thing don't you know

Well I'm not in my 50's !!!!!! Til next may anyway lol

I won't be in my 50s for another 24 years I'm a young tear away lol.

 

Also you may be able to get restrictors, they pop in the tail pipe and quieten down the exhaust, cheap temporary measure.

Im not 50 for another 29 years :dance::lol::tongue:

im 31 got a few years on me lad ha ha

Pondering what my veil side bumper would look like on my ZIMMER !!! :p

well here she is ,def got scorpian LOUD boxes on

day two of ownership another problem .....filled up with juice came out it to see was hissing out of where the fill tube goes into the tank (tank been replaced )

so i guess they did not replace the gasket and since i am moving tomorrow everything is packed away so all i could do is put a can under ,did stop after the first 4 ltrs or so .

looking at the gap to work in think it might be a garage lift job .

i hope this sorts it petrol is dear enough already

once she is okay would be good to meet up down swansea way

and to those who mock my age think on this

retirement is closer to me than you and since the good fellows in london keep putting the retirement age up you could still be working at 70+

can't type anymore my sides aching from laughing andi may wet myself ----now thats old age

Looks like a nice clean and tidy uk model.

Ahh yeah I almost bought that one I think. If you can get a sound clip of yours then I would potentially be interested in sorting a deal out if you were interested as mine are too quiet :p ... Stock pipes with japspeed backboxes

Ps. Looks very smart! Has had a full respray if it is the same one I am thinking of.

That sounds like the way my first Zed was, on the motorway it was brutal, sounded like a jet fighter as soon as you went over 60mph.

 

Current car should be loud as people say Kakimoto boxes are loud, mine seems rather quiet though, even with cats removed and the only boxes on the system being the back boxes.

 

Hope you get it sorted to your liking soon.

 

And enjoy the Zed, awesome cars.

Nice looking zed mate, we can have a SAGA drive out !!! :p

I took mine out today, it's pretty loud lol forgot how loud. Savage little beastie. :)
