not sure if you were still there, a wrx touched the grass coming on to the pit straight, lost it and went backwards into the wall hard.

lucky he had a cage.

I'm sure he had no idea he was dropping oil as he went past the pit entrance twice whilst it was happening!

yeh i saw that.. the red one? pretty much lost the rear end of his car poor guy.

nah the guy new he dropped his oil.. according to the towie, he'd lost 4th, couldnt take it out of gear and from what he explained to the towie, he saw the oil out the rearview.

the fact that he didnt drive into the pit but instead continue along the straight is pretty dumb if you ask me. surely you'll know somethings wrong if you cant get it out of 4th.

It's worth it every time you press the quiet button on the remote. I can't believe how quiet mine is closed, almost stock noise level, not bad for a 3.5 inch muffler. Even open it's not too bad.

Hrmm maybe i'll drop past sometime! it is something useful to have for starting up in the morning so you don't wake neighbours, cruising down the highway, having elderly passengers or driving past cops etc....lol

lol everyone jumping on the Varex wagon now...where were you two years ago when I was pushing the things. No one believes how good they are til they drive a car with one.

Good value considering the remote controlled motor setup too Birds. They do sound a bit tinny when mounted at the rear, like they have a sock shoved up the pipe. Probably best if you can get it fitted as a centre but there isn't much room there on a skyrine.

Since we are on the topic.

When fully open, what effect does this have on the exhaust flow? Something small in the exhaust even when open will have some sort of effect?

When its closed, are there any effects on choking the system? What happens when you boot the car when the exhaust is closed, are the any possible side effects?

well scotts tune seemed to lean out when he put the varex back on, which means it should have more flow than the 3.5" muffler he had on before.

threoretically you want the exhaust to be quiet when its closed right? so you wouldnt really be booting it anyway. but with the flap closed, the car is a laggy POS Lol

[Birds]

When open, it acts like a straight through piece of pipe. As it uses a butterfly valve the restriction that would put on it when open is SFA. I have the 3" Varex and ~260rwkw no issues with flow there.

When closed, they say not to drive on boost. You can give it a couple of PSI without harm, but you only need to use closed when popo are around, getting home late or cruising on the freeway to avoid drone.

Is yours a cannon type or twin tip? They do make different sounds and have different valve setups. I have no tinnyness to mine; think it helps that the rest of my system is mild steel.

[Sunkist]

Both of us are running the mid varex muffler as a tip. Didn't want fancy looking things. But they seem pretty good. I'm at 270kw with no issues

[Birds]

Okay well that's the same setup as a canon type and they do have more of a stainless steel to them than the twin tip.

I'll be 'patiently waiting' for a full appraisal from you

It was like a rap sound board missing Game and Dre

A failure.

yeh the twin tips are quieter, but i heard them on a friends car and didnt like how they sounded on an sr(not that it would ever sound great - but better than its worst) but that whole sound went out the window with the .82 housing lol

and then the gate.
