Reckon that unless you're Max Powa you'll get ****ed right off with that racket by the end of the road. Assuming you have no silencing?

Well thats me..

Spoke to him this morining were using my orignal Backbox Larger Milltek one and he's gonna weld in a small Silencer to help it out..

As he said it would be Uber loud on the motorway...Should be picking it up 2morro..

i had a 3"dp on my gt28 with no cat or centre silencer just a backbox and it made hell of a racket and was only on the car for 3 months before the baffles came out u have 2 have the radio on blasting 2 hear anythin from it and 2 have a chat lol forget it (plus the neighbours were gettin well p****d off with me comin home early hours of the mornin and waking the street up) so i now have a new exhaust but with a small centre box in now and still makes the same racket on boost but like a mouse while drivin around town much better i think

well done, all coming together now Danny

although if it was me, running an unsilenced exhaust on that sort of power, it would get right on my tits!!

that makes more sense! I thought (like hooch) that you weren't running anything other than 3" pipe.

:lol: Sorry Mork...My Bad..

Nah I do like a Noise Exhaust but not that noise would be louder than my Mates Zilla 20g scoob and thats Fooking noisy...

Just got back in went up to have a look the Bell Housing on the Downpipe flange Is ''JUST'' Missing the Rear Engine Mount...Id say around 3-4mm..

So once its up and running im gonna Source a place to cermaic Coat My Downpipe & de-cat plus Manifold Too...

As he's got a A4 IHI and he was Saying the Thermostatic Temp thats comes off the Turbo,Block,Manifold & downpipe is Unreal...
Im just abit Cautious about the rubber Engine Mount.It isn't Right near it But @ 800c its gonna be abit warm down there...

DP looks amazing! Bumpers coming along nicely, I should be able to crack on with mine soon hopefully. Have you done any plastic welding to achieve the smooth edge?

Yup should go nicly with my 3'' System...

We Used Apoxy Resing matting which you use on Boats Its a lot harder to work with but once set it dries strong that Normal P20 Fibreglass..

We was going plastic weld it but we needed to get a move on with it...Its very Strong as we used 2 full Fibre glass matts on it....
