Straight through exhaust question

[General Xander]

Hey guys, ive already pulled the rear resonator ff the standard exhaust, and i like how it sounds
theres just one problem. whenever it gets over 3000 rpm and my foots in a fair way, it whistles like a jumbo jet.
ive heard that it is the flexi pipe exhaust, and so im contemplating removing it. is this true?

also, im also thinking about getting the center muffler pulled off too. just to give the note a bit of roughness. has anyone done or know of someone who has done this?
thanks

im nt sure abt the standard having a flexi pipe mine didnt. just go to the wreckers and look for a cat back sports exhaust its alot cheaper then buying a new one and it sounds good i even found my pacemakers at a wreckers

[jharv58]

wouldnt expect any change froma cheap catback setup such as redback. If you want true pickups go a full system from a reputable shop matched to a tune

[jharv58]

shouldn't need a tune iv done the hole exhaust on mine and it is fine but it is a vr not a vs so im not sure it just sounds like a lot of money down the drain for nothing

[justbad4you]

tune does help....but if its bucks thats stopping you just do what you pocket allows,,,,if we all had the cash we would be driving rockets lol cheers champ. good luck

[soop]

Ohhhh ffs!
Why are you butchering a stock system?
It will NEVER sound good, you do realise that don't you?

I don't know how many exhaust threads are on this forum but they must surely make up 75% of all threads on this forum.
Tuned to suit stock exhaust systems?
Dude they aren't tuned to suit summer or winter for shit sake. They aren't going to be bothered by a different exhaust system.

[justbad4you]

lol yeah but as kid i thought my bmx ( earlier than a bmx but im not saying what kind> wasnt a penny farthing lol ) sounded like a motor bike even thoe today it sounds more like a like a mozzy ) youngns think bad sounds(sound good) and good sounds(sound bad) thats the youngens for ya.my bmx come to think of it now (sounded bad) even thoe i thought it sounded mean at the time lol.sure didnt go any better with a card in the the forks.cheeers....wow have i gone off the subject lol back to the cars i say lol

[soop]

LOL thats about it.
I reckon you can justify the card in the spokes though. Can't justify smashing the crap out of a perfectly good exhaust system though!

[justbad4you]

i always found a coke can on the back wheel of my pushy sounded beta lol
