Too loud?

[mercxr6T]

Gday fellas,
I have broken the mounts off my exhaust and where the muffler is wellded on and there is now a split aswell from it being banged around. It is a lukey performance muffler. I thought they were for petrol engines. If I cut the muffler off completly how loud would it be or do I definately need a muffler. I just remember reading somewhere that people do cut them of. Its a sd33T, Cheers .

i reakon you will like it
the turbo sucks up heaps of the noise of the engine anyway, worse case if its to loud put a resonator in its place

It'll sound horn!

I got straight pipe on my gu ute, no mufflers.
Sounds like a mack truck (well mates reckon so anyway)

Awesome rumble when you go through city tunnels, drop a gear, and slam the right foot!

You'll like it!

Just do it and stop being a nancyboy!

I had a 2.5" straight through on my MK wagon - that was great! I had a 3" straight through on my MK ute, dumped behind the cab - that was too loud for my liking.

chop it off

i ran 3inch stainless straight through from headers back, just cause i had it lying around, on 250crossflow in FJ45 crusier ute. sounded the goods. put a horn on a jellyfish twice to my knowledge.

I've had a 3" put on my n/a 4.2....in anticipation of that turbo one day

The place said it might be a bit loud at the mo but when I turbo it to take the muffler off and it will be cool, maybe even quieter. So you have nothing to lose eh?

I've got a 3inch exhaust from the turbo back.

Sounds awesome.
Sounds like a truck.

just chop the kint!

[love ke70]

just chop it
my TD42 with turbo on the GQ ute is a 3" mandrel bend pipe to about 150 mm before the end of the cab, where it ends in a flange, cause i unbolted the rest, sounds awesome. the small turbos muffle alot of the noise anyway.

Thanks for the replies fellas, But I have just refitted the muffler. I figure it would prob be a bit much drone for the kids in the back on long trips. Otherwise it would be gone. Cheers.
