I don't understand what's going on here

the man just wants his exhaust tips enlongated and then there's people saying get a full new exhaust?

As long as no mufflers are touched, making exhaust tips longer will make minute difference, if any to the sound of the exhaust.

Am i correct to assume stock exhaust = quiet? if so, will make no difference to sound. Only as long as the mufflers are left as is and just the last pipes are extended.

You've never seen a sexy Hyundai or Honda with a cannon have you? Of course the tip makes a difference to sound, it sounds terrible! The tip of the exhaust on a stock exhaust is a type of muffler, if you change that muffler without changing the exhaust it sounds like absolute shite! Victor said he wants to change the tips, hence going to sound terrible. You can't get aftermarket tips for cheap that are going to sound good, high quality mufflers are expensive. If you're going to spend that money getting a tip welded on and your exhaust extended, you might as well go whole hog and get an amazing quality exhaust that sounds like Pamela Anderson on full scream.

only wants the extend it, what, an inch, no difference, if you don't want a full exhaust(Kermit is the man on that one), just buy the tip you want, go to a small exhaust shop, and ask them to put it on, if it takes them more then 10 mins, there's something wrong. shouldn't cost much to do. Either that or make friends with a welder :D

A++++++++++++++ for Kermit, what a fkn champ :D such sexy welds and nice sound to boot

+1 for Kermit!!!! I got my Exhaust repaired when he saw a fault for it and it was only minor n he did it for free as it was not the original job Getting done. Got a Straight pipe now with a Cannon @ da back.. Crackly Deep Sound :D

Ok. Thanks, mate.

I will keep that in mind. :)

By the way, do you live or work around Maddington area? I saw twice silver Stagea about 5:40pm this week coming out of one of the street.

that may be me, are you sure it wasnt white?

Ok.

Sorry guys. I am abit confused now, with some saying crap sound and some no difference. I probably call Kermit on this before deciding on it.

Yes, I just want to extend an inch and maybe, change the tips to abit bigger stainless steel type. I can asure if Kermit also agree that it will sound crap, I won't do it. I rather save up and get a full system.

I am not after any sound or power improvement as I only drive it on weekends for relaxing cruise. Plus, if I get asked by an offier what exhaust system I have, I don't want to say it's aftermarket at this stage.

Thanks, guys for all the replies. I learn new things everytime on SAU. :)

Neither :)

Ok.

I just thought of asking because I've seen it twice already.

that may be me, are you sure it wasnt white?

I am sure it's silver. A gentleman with beard driving it.

I think I've already seen you around sometimes. Your's white that goes around Nicholson Rd? :)

He never said he wanted a CANON on it just an extension to clear his rear bar which any exhaust shop or kermit could do in 5 minutes thats why i say get off ya arse and do it as it won't make any difference to the sound

That is correct. :)

Thanks, guys. I am not in a hurry to do this, but will post up asap.

put up pics of how it is atm!

if it sits in i say extend it as cheap as you can to suit your body kit. just get it cut from behind ur muffler/before ur cat and extended with its current width pipe -ie 2.5" etc

i saw a *sigh* 2 door rice car yesterday i cant remember what it was but it was like a mighty boy equivelant in a car, it was fully kitted up and the rear bar was made for twin exhaust but he only had a single! looked so stupid!

Fair enough, my mistake. I thought when you said you wanted to put a stainless or chrome tip on it you meant more than just extending the stock exhaust. Yeh if all you want to do is extend the pipe a little bit so the exhaust sits further out then it won't make a difference to sound.

That's all right, Martin. My mistake as well, I should have made it clearer.

I was busy last night with friends. Hopefully, I will post the photo up tonight.

yeah thats me, but there is a white series 2 with a ovlov sticker on the back window that lives about 30 seconds from mine, pretty sure he works at xspeed

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
