Recommended Posts

I have put a magnex exhaust on my 205 1.9 8v, its super super tinny, i have a blow however where it joins the centrebox which is being welded up later in the week, could this be the problem ?

hopefully, although stainless exhausts do tend to sound tinnier (is that even a word?!) than mild steel ones

Agreed. Its because S/S ones can be thinner, whereas mild ones are thick to make them last longer.

stainless steel has a different resonance compared to mild steel :)

i had a full system on mine and it was very very tinny. So i dont think you need to worry.

They blow the baffles/packing out of the boxes, tap the centre one and I bet it sounds hollow, You can get them re-done thou

How easy is it to get the baffles done miles? and where abouts?

 

mines sounds terribly raspy and I tapped the centre box with a little hammer and it sounded hollow! lol
