A 2bular mule - LotusTalk

jamie · 10-11-2006, 11:06 AM

Hi Guys thought you might like to see this.....
With the extra volume and heat of the SC I had been talking to Jim about trying to increase the flow by going to a larger diameter. Jim wanted to cut my original zaust up to see how it had done with the extra flow. The Bemani kit runs a 3inch diameter up to after the U-bend so the cat went back to Jim to have the taper replaced and run a 3inch through the whole system. The actual box is the longest Jim could fit in the space (24in long)
Friday night was fitting time as I was at KH at the weekend and boy is it a mean zaust Jim has made

Very '86 HCI Esprit like...I like it...bet it burbles rolling down from 60. Now of course, we need SOUND CLIPS!!!

That looks freakin' MEAN.

jlotusd · 10-11-2006, 11:32 AM

it looks like the exhaust tip was way too far out..

jamie · 10-11-2006, 12:00 PM

The tip could do with a trim but the good thing is Jim made me a baffle that can be bolted in the tip to kill a few dbs (thats why there are some holes)

Erm, yes

kinda over estimated the length of the new diffuser Jamie had fitted! I'll sort it out next time. More interested in the noise readings though.

Is that an 8 inch cannister?

jamie · 10-12-2006, 02:18 PM

Yes 24 by 8 inch with a 3 inch flow

jamie · 10-15-2006, 12:36 PM

Give it half an hour

yacoub · 08-07-2007, 06:51 PM

Bit far away to hear it well and that's in a wide open area.
It sure looks mean. I wonder how loud it would be with a high-flow cat...

Stephen · 08-08-2007, 03:28 PM

Is the tip a bit too close to your painted clam? I wonder if it could cause permanent damage to the paint??? I was worried about mine, but looking at yours; you are right on top of it.

Just a heads up before something happens; maybe you can avoid it if this is a possibility.
