If your exhaust 100% like the one pictured, I reckon it will be LOUD... there's no sufficient size middle pipe resonator, and even the rear muffler does not look like it really dampens the sound... but I'm sure it will give you a good flow though for high boost/power applications...

Don't bother abt the resonator, it may not do much for noise dampening as it's not as effective as a proper resonator. My Trust MX has just arrived, not yet on the car, looks very similar to the pic below. I'm sure mine will be a quiet one as there are two resonators there and 80mm (3") pipe will still give me a good flow...

rs73, i had a feeling that it would be LOUD, but the guy at the shop told me that the baffle should eliminate much of the drone. Let me know what yours is like when you get it on the car, i might be able to get it exchanged. It probably doesn't help that the one on order has a 4" pipe....

cheers

Yeap, I've heard a N1 on R32 with n without silencer. It does reduce the noise... dunno if it is as claimed by Apexi: reduce by 7db... but exhaust flow will be reduced though...

That's why hi flow exhaust like competition muffler will always be straight thru, no silencer, no resonator... but VERY LOUD

My MX Trust has 110mm tip, wonder if I chuck Apexi N1's optional silencer on to my Trust model as it's also 110mm. Just to silent it down even more again... kinda "stealth mode" exhaust... but will see till I put it on my car and how loud it is. Dun wanna neighbours start complaining, even worse, 1 building away of my house is an elderly house... so I gotta be careful not to rev my car too hard with aftermarket exhaust or I may get a letter from EPA.

The N1 system is dam loud but not over the top and has a real nice note.

Oh and i would really worry about the old people as most have hearing probs anyways :P

And if you get sent to the pits just wack the silencer in and im sure they wont even ask about the exhaust or keep the old one just for that reason, to swap if you ever need too.

yeah, by the way one of my neighbours has an old Ford Escort with leaking exhuast, and everytime it drove by it's SO LOUD you can still hear it after a block a way... Even louder than a Harley for you guys to imagine....

Kaboom... boom... vroom... vroom... clank... clonk.. vroom.. boom..

:burnout:

So my exhaust would still sound like musical heaven compared to his. :lol:

I had an old beemer 3 series with a supersprint back box and only resonators along its length, it was pretty loud i suspect around 95dB... i had angry enough locals then i hate to see what they'll do with the Trust installed!! :lol:

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
