If you have a ka24 id recomned a 2.5 ive got one and its nice and dronee with a nice note ive got one hot dog resinator and one redback straight through muffler woth a 4 inch dummper tip

[noss]

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"

[chucky]

i got a 2.5 cat back n its a drone and a half, at 4g the noise is 2 loud =( but sounds good.... i got a ka24e btw...

[I'm what Willis was talkin' 'bout]

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]

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:

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, download this little sound byte.  I just cut it out of the movie.

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]

well thats a good example of my exhaust when i'm relly booting in budge.

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

Im so confused!!!!!

[FLOGTARA]

If you want a powerful sound its gunna be illegal.  I have a cannon and a resonator and its soooooo loud!!!

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]

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

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.

[Cle]

Press bent ? "shiver"

[noss]

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

[Cle]

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]

yeah but thats why u go larger piping

[Cle]

True

[FLOGTARA]

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  

[Budgie]

Its the Chemical Brothers Flogtara  

And yeah, it was funny... noss shitting on the corsair at the lights    Even with bad wheel-spin...

[noss]

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]

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.

[SSS]

Yeah, well its not my fault the Corsair is slow  

Yes it is  
When my turbo setup is complete i'm going to a 3" mandrel system..... :grinning-smiley-011: :devil-smiley-023:

[Budgie]

Yes it is  

Yeah, I know it is *hangs head*  

[SmootH]

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]

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
