Ok so this morning the heat shields where rattling against the exhaust pipe, so i took some self taping screws and fixed it...while doing that i touched the muffler and it fell off :shock: so there is no catalitic converter, or resinator on the car...so its a straight pipe off the turbo, will that hurt the motor, its a 1.9AAZ TD

It will increase the Benefits!
if you can live with the sound and smell of exhaust in the car leave it that way :) lool
Back pressure is not important on diesels.. the less the better.
You probably gained like 5 hp :P
-
Safety is done at the end of this month lol, and I find it sounds great and it smells like my dads farm tractor lol :twisted: they neighbourg heard me for a couple km away
-
Enjoy the turbo whine until the wastegate opens. Being deaf has benefits. :wink:

If you hate the neigbours, there will be additional advantages. Unless they are deaf too. :twisted:
-
think of this....Cold Air intake to the turbo...and straight pipe exhaust... :twisted: muahahahaha
-
my gasser is pretty much straight pipe due to a rotten DP... I leave it that way because my neighbours are GAY.. i tell them its the way it is because its old :wink:
dicks they are.... lol
-
the landlord heard it and laughted...he doesn't care because i don't go anywhere early in the morning or late at night,
-
well perfect.. if you can handle the noise.. your good to go.
can you hear the turbo whistle better? lol
-
at 2800RPM all you here is the whistle of the turbo because of the cold air intake lol you don't even hear the exhaust :twisted:
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSS! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: VICTORY!!! lol
-
I'd just put some more pipe on there so the exhaust goes out the back, just like it should. Oh, and I love the straight pipe on my TDI. Has a nice whistle at idle. :lol:
-
or do a side dump right behind the drivers front wheel :P
-
:lol: That works too. Or a stack straight through the hood. :twisted:

Ha that is great. My GF tells me my straight exhaust is too loud. Ha Get in we're takin the Jetta anyways.

my gf doesn't mind the sound...just i have to drive very very quietly picking her up at the hospital lol...I'm use to loud vehicles :D

If its 80 db or above in the car, you will suffer Permanente hearing loss. Nothing will bring it back and it is time weighted as well. I'd at least put a glass pack on and route it beyond your rear bumper.

Well, looks like im totally fu**ed then.. my car had, and probably will have again, a straight pipe.. and my truck, lets just say you can get 145 dB out of the stereo. and thats only with the 12's hooked up. its probably 8-10 dB louder with the 15 in it also. im kinda wonderin how long my ears are gonna last? its a common thing to get out of my truck and just hear RRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG for about the next 2 hours (or more)
and as for your straight pipe, i would cut it clear off and build some 2.5 the rest of the way back. my next exhaust is gonna be at least 2.5, and its just gonna have a tiny 12" long glass pack. just to kill some of the drone. ive got a flowmaster 40 series on it right now and it sounds really good, but i lost 3 psi when i put it on. so im thinking a shorty glass pack should work just fine. lots less restriction. not like the 40 has much restriction, but its still enough to notice.
-
instead of a glass pack, i'm going with a 8 inch long muffler from inlet to tip... :twisted: it needs something to say to the cop...I have a muffler on my car :roll: ...
-
no no no, i cant draw any attention to myself. the cops hate me in my home town. and to top it off, i dont have a drivers lisence. and i dont want my rabbit leaving on the back of a tow truck ever again (i cried). lol, the cops are 90% of why i want to make it fast(er). those bastards..
-
The cops won't say much around here as long as I stay under 2000RPM where you don't hear it lol
-
yea, but theres probably more than 4 mk1/2 vw cars in your town. it just so happens that i own 2 of those 4, and my buddy ben owns the other 2. both of mine are black. and both of his are grey. so the cops know whats up. you just gotta know how to drive better than a cop. straight roads are bad, cops can go faster... but curvy roads.. cops dont stand a chance. there land barges can not go around corners as fast as our tiny vw's. i had a hemi charger on my ass, then took a turn off the highway onto some back roads. the cop was gone in a matter of 30 seconds. then the next day i went over the same road and tried going the same speed, but i about wiped out.
-
The last time i had a come come after me while driving...i had a 92 Grand Am GT1 Coupe with a 3.3L V6, racing suspension under it, and a flowmaster exhaust...adn when its FLASHY RED the cops don't bother chasing it because they are smarter then that. I;ve calmed down alot since then lol, and I own the only black MK3 diesel in bathurst lol

hahaha... well they're doing their job, but it seems as though the majority of them are dicks... the way i see it, as long as you're not driving like a complete asshat around school zones, doing crazy burnouts, and keeping the speed to a 'safe' level, then it should be ok.
around here its these kids who fill their car up full and then want to 'race' them, and then get everyone in the car killed. i think it should be legal for the passenger of such a car be allowed to stab the driver if they don't slow down. 1 life for 5 lives... i can live with that :wink: but dont even get me started on that topic... i almost got into it right there :lol: anyways most cops are hard on people because they get to see the carnage of all the 'racing' that goes on.
-
They are all the same around here...the town is full of civics and cavaliers with the BIGGEST canadian tire muffler on it and they think they are the fastest *** in town...then you get the old timer with the 2010 shelby gt500 blow the doors off of it...lol :twisted: ,

yea the kids see fast n furious cars and think they can have that. the problem is that stock those types of cars are quite slow... it takes about 5-6 grand at LEAST to bring them up to a respectable speed. probably 15 grandor more to make them a 10 second car... (the right way anyways)

I'm not trying to be a killjoy here, but I had a similar sound system and blasted my ears for years. That combined with jackhammers, concrete saws, shotguns, etc. has led to permanent 24 hours a day of the ringing you have temporarily. There are nights I have difficulty sleeping because of the ringing. I can hear it over conversation or the TV, etc. Protect your hearing, it never comes back. When they say hearing damage is irreversible, they aren't just trying to scare you.

Rabbit on Roids - Why don't you have a license?
-
its a really long story, but the original reason i lost it was from posession of marijuana. then i got a couple driving while suspended tickets. i was just pretty much a dumb ass. the cops around here are bull***, so i just dont let them catch me. ive never gotten any charges or tickets for outrunning a cop, but i know i would get a felony if they ever get me pulled over.
-
Out running the cops is a common occurrence for you? I would never try and outrun a v6 supercharged... like there are under those crown vics. They aren't just crown victorias with fancy paint.
my buddy's dad is a cop and when i was in high school he'd take us around in the police minivan and it was supercharged... It would do burnouts that would read on the speedo at like 120km/hr... and this was a grand caravan... the cruisers are the same deal.
Catlin, i'm making a straight 3' exhaust this weekend. Once you get the exhaust exiting outwards rather than under the hand brake lever it's much quieter. I took my gf to a lake today that was about 100km of driving total and it's annoyingly loud inside the car. Even the turbo whine gets annoying if it's constant. A free flowing exhaust on our diesel's is actually "performance". some fella's have spent a decent amount of coin on a big straight exhaust. (I'd say a straight exhaust adds at least 10hp and 30ft/lbs.)
but what really bugs me is torque-y pulls in 4th that make a deafening BWWAAAAAAAAAWWW inside the car. I try to avoid that as much as possible.
Having that constant ringing in your ears would be so terrible. what a cruel form of torture I feel so sorry for you. My friend's ears rang for a month after getting in an accident from the air bags going off. He said it was the worst, most annoying affliction he'd ever suffered.
Dude, i wouldn't just brush it off, "oh looks like im gonna go partially deaf then. Haha it'll be awesome." Hearing is under rated.
In high school i made lots of potato guns, one of which shoots wine bottles and it's LOUD (louder than any gun i've shot).... i stopped shooting it without ear plugs after being 99% deafened for about 45 minutes from it once when the exit of the barrel was at the same height as my head.

the cop cars here dont have blown V6's here. our crown vics have 302 fuel injected natural aspirated engines. there is only 2 chargers, and one magnum, and they all have hemis. sure they all go fast in a straight line, but once you get on a road with some serious twists and turns.. they just eat soot.
and i know im gonna be screwed in the hearing department. my family owns an aluminum fabrication shop. and ive been exposed to it since i can remember. never used to wear hearing or eye protection. im just waiting for the day i get out of my truck and my ears dont quit ringin. im not looking forward to it by any means. but im definitely not going to take my stereo out, or turn it down. sub woofers actually help my back, swear to god. my back is horrible weak.
-
i'm redoing my exhaust to dump behind the back bumper even thou its going to be a straight pipe it will quiet it down a bit.
