There was once a silencer here^, the result of another mod for the year.
I was hoping for more poke and decatted smoke, even though at 1.5bar that's already a joke. As long as the unsuspecting folk are still awoke and choke on my coke...
But certainly more noise for bankers to fear, as all they see is my rear, again disappear, after glancing the finger and my wallet-raping snear! wink Mwahahahaha

I've never known a coop not to smoke if it's on the standard turbo with a decat.



Coopless!

Maybe it only happens if the turbo's on it's way out.

Na. I was told i had a very sick 20vt at Curbough 2010 with lots of tick over smoke. Total bolox. As usual. Curbough is not a normal place to run a coupe.
cloud9 i have done loads of track days / long runs etc without problems since.

Funny how a little mod and rhyme about exhausts can turn into a smokey coop thing. laugh

Mine only really dumps a small cloud of what I assume to be some coke + oil + water in that usual high pressure big turbo kinda way on initial throttle (not in a sustained knackered bearing kinda way!) - the kind of thing you can only see when the sun is at the right angle or in someone's headlights as they attempt to follow you. The same from anything from an old skool cossie to a nu skool FQ. And it may dumb some unburnt fuel at lift-off, though usually that is kept to a minimum by it igniting in the exhaust which a nice blue-flamed backfire, something my car has done for years, but only noticed recently when I followed it in the dark one day. smile

My car is only a touch louder. I should've put my dB phone app on it before the work, damn! +1 dB would be a result, as it's a logarithmic scale. It seems a bit more gruff 1krpm to 2.5krpm, which is exactly what I need now I don't live in MK any more. I need to out-loud corsas and saxos at 30mph these days. frown

So anyone else in the striaght-through club?

Mr Ware?

Would you believe it though? I got pulled by rozzers today! Making too much noise. I only booted it up to 60 in a 70, then cruised. And given their questioning, they blatantly only heard me, not saw me.

This might be a filth magnet. Better make sure I have plenty of cameras recording to counter their 'interpretations of events'. wink One truth saying YT channel coming up...!
