All wight .... got another we question !

 

is there any reason why i cannot straight pipe my ZX, is it possible to get a custom made exhaust from the front to back, i have new rear boxes on, these would do for silensing enough.

 

i know that turbos are a very good source of silencing as well.... but what about emissions ? , the car is a 92 tt uk car... so it is before the tight emmissions started in 95 ?...... i could simply remove the air comopressor thing that blows ait into the cats ?

 

Cheers Scottieee :)

There is no reason why you cant get a custom exhaust.

 

I think that 92 J reg you can legaly remove the cats too.

Mine is a 92 K UK TT with custom pipes from the cat back to 2 Apexi back boxes with OTT 5" outlet pipes ( I didnt fit it). It was originally set up with full decat but the noise was too much and the cats went back in to help kill the noise. Nice burble now but a bit louder than I like sometimes.

 

I suppose another mid pipe silencer would have helped but would probably cause just as much back pressure as the cats.

 

Never had any problems passing emissions tests with this set up.

 

Legally you are not supposed to remove cats from cars reg on or after 01/08/92. I fink!

obsenely loud ?

 

i live in a small town, i aint drivin around city or nowt ? i want to revove pre cats and cats.... turbos dont like back pressure... + they must be a hell of a growl when u loose all that sh*t

I have a small vid of my car idleing at home. Its got the cats off and a mongoose exhaust. I will send it you if you want to so you can hear it.

Your neighbours will get to know when you arrive and leave!

 

A colleague at work said he could hear my z 2 hundred yards away and inside the office even when I was as usual driving slowly in a stealth mode! It kind of disciplines you not to be an R Sole till you are well into the open country or on the mo way.

 

Do love dropping the window in tunnels though and opening it up!
