i have 2.5" on my ka24e.. no resonator & a straight thru cannon exhaust. very illlegal noise levels. but you can quiten it down with resonators etc.. download the melbourne cruise 11 divx movie that budgie did to hear what my exhaust sounds like..

when i boot it hard its a bit raspy.. but when i'm driving normal its a nice drone kidna thing.

if you got ca20e get 2.25"

I've got a ka with a 2.25 cat back, Lukey super turbo muffler, coming out into twin DTM style twips.

Very droney, probably more so cos it's in a wagon and just reverberates in the cabin.

Would a hi-flow cat, or no cat for that matter make much of a differnce? is noise?

I'm what Willis was talkin' 'bout · « **Reply #6 on:** Nov 26, 2003, 12:50PM »

not really

The myth about having a hollowed out cat giving you more performance, etc is bullshit - not to mention it makes your car eligible for a canary

I've even heard of a loss in power from people tampering with their cats :kitty:

SSS · « **Reply #7 on:** Nov 26, 2003, 12:55PM »

When you get an exhaust make sure you fork out for a 2.25" flex pipe (at least) and go to a wrecker and grab yourself a decent condition VL/VN/VR/VS cat convertor, they are 2.25" inlet/outlet and are only worth about $50.
my bro did this when he got his extractors on his celica to match the catback 2.25" system he already had, and it goes heaps harder. he dyno'd 78kw at the wheels with only a catback, now it definetly feels like it's good for around 86-88kw at the wheels.

or u could go like me and get 2 inch all the way through ...from extractors to muffler with a 4by 3 inch tip. gave heaps extra torque through rev range esp down low it also has ......with two resonators still very loud when reved

very nice sound to it ... sorta like a rumbling sound

noss · « **Reply #10 on:** Nov 26, 2003, 10:51PM »

If this is so, why waste money on a high flow cat for? Or even pick up an old holden one like everyone suggests?

Just cos I said it, doesn't mean it's true.

Get on the net and do a bit of research, you might find what you want to hear,

SmootH · « **Reply #14 on:** Nov 27, 2003, 07:12PM »

thanks for the info guys, so is a 2.5 or a 2.25 gonna give me more power, im thinking at the moment 2.25 with a resonator and some sort of tip, and also wat bout extractors, does the piping come all in one size, or are there different sizes, is Walker extractors any good?

thanks

ZiiN · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 27, 2003, 07:21PM »

I'm wanting to get my sports exhuast done aswell.... I rang up for a quote and i asked for a 2.5 inch press bent exhuast with a resonator.... and said i didnt need a muffler cause i already have a sports on fitted and the guy didnt know wat i was on about? is that the setup im after? and wat did i say that was so confusing?

its because you dont get an increase in power over a better flowing cat. if you do its in the range of 1%. so as shaun said its not worth doing if you're gonna get canaried.

Press bent ? "shiver"

noss · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 1, 2003, 10:24PM »

nothing wrong with press bent, i only know of 2 pintaras with a mandrel exhaust

Cle · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 1, 2003, 10:57PM »

True but a mandrel bend creats a sh*t load less resistance upwards of 30-40%

of course i probably couldn't afford to put a mandrel zorst on my car any way lol

noss · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 1, 2003, 11:06PM »

yeah but thats why u go larger piping

Cle · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 1, 2003, 11:13PM »

True

FLOGTARA · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 2, 2003, 12:12PM »

Noss, its sounds a little raspy bit its also a tough sound. hehe, i like the chirp and mini burnout..Well thats what i think i could hear behind the orchestra music.

With my resinator, if i take it out and get piping straight through in replace of it, is there any power gains. As in, are resinators actually restrictive, cuz i've heard many stories about it...? not sure

And yeah, it was funny... noss shitting on the corsair at the lights

Even with bad wheel-spin...

noss · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 4, 2003, 11:11AM »

its not my fault my tyres are bald budge. my car sounds completely different when driving normally, its a low deep grumble and because of the cam it has a bit of that wrx style lumpiness to it.

hopefully if we have this cruise before christmas we'll get some better sound clips.

Budgie · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 4, 2003, 04:25PM »

Yeah, well its not my fault the Corsair is slow

If your car is running (

) then I'll get some good sound bytes if you want noss. Might be able to borrow a mates mic and hook it upto laptop. We'll see buddy.

ok i have the money for my exhaust, but not sure where to get it done, ive tried a few places, and, the quotes have been from about $220 to $350 all for the same thing, what i dont understand, is that they are all the same shop, MR MUFFLER, anyone know why i would be getting different quotes from each of the shops, is one going to be a better job than the other??? HELP!!!!:)

SmootH · « **Reply #29 on:** Dec 8, 2003, 02:29PM »

by the way, this is for a 2 1/4 from the cat back, with a mild steel sports muffler, and a tip ranging from $20 to $80

noss · « **Reply #30 on:** Dec 8, 2003, 02:31PM »

depends on where you go as to what their overheads are (wages, rent, materials etc) how much profit they want to make on top of that, if there is any competition in the area, the list goes on.. make an informed decision yourself based on the attitude of the person who is serving you.

SmootH · « **Reply #31 on:** Dec 8, 2003, 02:37PM »

ok will do, thanks noss

Well for the purposes of comparision, I got mine fitted about two months ago and it was $235 for a 2.25 cat back with a lukey muffler and a simple tip (round 3 inch tip or something like that). Cos I wanted DTM ones, they cost an extra $60 but i got them for cost price of $50. $285 all up.

that was through Carline

ZiiN · « **Reply #33 on:** Dec 25, 2003, 08:37AM »

I got a 2.25 inch cat back exhuast with a sports muffler/and s/steel 4inch tip (not a cannon as i didnt want one) installed on tuesday... sounds nice and seems to have given a lil bit more torgue and picks up a bit better in 3rd ect when driving aroun 50-60 then picking up...

RubberBerner · « **Reply #34 on:** Dec 30, 2003, 06:08PM »

mine's a little illegal here in the states, but its the loudest KA i've ever heard:
Greddy 3" cat-back, with an A'pexi N1 muffler, with custom 3" piping from header, no cat.
I always set car alarms off

weasel · « **Reply #35 on:** Dec 30, 2003, 06:59PM »

Well i got my zorst put on for $180 this included 2 1/4 from flexi pipe back, m/steel, straight through muffler, hot dog and tip

but that was a few years ago now

i only got from flexi back cause when i got my car the previous owners had been swindled by carline to put on extractors and a flexi

and he wasn't the wiser

I'll be running a similar system soon but a turbo to quieten it down a bit.

went to another place and it was $760 for the exact same thing

can anyone say rip off

SmootH · « **Reply #38 on:** Jan 3, 2004, 06:18PM »
