Took the car into the panel beaters today for inspection. Everythings algood should be restored to her former glory within the next few weeks.
This week I bought one of these.
Out with the old cracked and rattling muffler, in with glass pack Coby. Now I have left the car with the standard piping. Why? because I'm a tin arse and I haven't done any major work to the engine anyway so I want to keep the power band as low as possible. A few months ago I had chopped out the rear muffler and replaced that with a glass pack too, but I used a 2,5in coby off the back of the diff with 2.5in pipe out the back. Purely so the tail pipe dosent look like a pea shooter and I think cannons are gay. so essentially I have a straight though system, but its not loud at all. I took my car to the work shop and we tested the sound level 87db, yee ha! I expect this to increase because these coby tend to sound louder after a few weeks as soot accumulates in the resonator.
The job went off without a hitch, I usually hate making exhausts with the car on stands, but this system was really easy to work on. I hope my gas welds hold, In my experience the gas makes stuff a bit brittle but Im confident it should hold (no butt welds lol)
Im happy with how it sounds, I wont post a video but it has a nice VAAAAAARP sound and a nice deep quite drone around town, but it doesnt give me a head ache at highway speed but that could change in the coming weeks!
