Shazbot Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) I fitted 48mm motorcycle baffles into my cheap (Toyosport) box. I used a cobalt bit to drill access holes to the 'inner' pipe in the end pipes and loctited the baffle screws in place. Never come loose but still removable for maintenence as i wrapped them with exhaust baffle cloth (fibreglass). As it has very little in the way of internal baffling, fitting these means it still flows better than the standard box. As for this hurting the engine that is utter bollerx. Someone just wants to sell a really expensive back box. Now if you shoved bananas up a standard box , that would hurt the engine Edited August 29, 2022 by Shazbot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 I tried the baffles in my toyosport, but they dampened the sound so much i might as well have kept the standard exhaust on. So they came straight back out again. Kept them in the cupboard in case i need to do a really quiet trackday, but for general weekend and track driving, ill live with an exhaust that sounds like a great dane farting below 3000 rpm, as it picks up a treat from 4000 to the redline!

Would probably fail nearly all UK track day noise limits and even most race day noise limits. Depends on what you are trying to achieve, noise, or a car that is loud but still pleasant to drive.

Boxster1977 Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) Well, I've decided to go for the SW engineering race exhaust I've been told the silenced option sounds nice and there race drivers love it, is this likely to turn on the engine management light?. 2x Cat pipes (200 cell cats and lambda sensor bosses) Rear silencer system with balance pipe (unsilenced option available) Removable GT3 style exhaust tips (2.5 inch tips) Rear gearbox silencer mount All gaskets and fasteners https://www.swengineering-uk.com/product-page/986-race-exhaust-system Edited September 14, 2022 by Boxster1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure, upon payment you just get thanks for your order, but no order number. No charges for shipping though, probably dodgy but it's £75 and I should get it back from my credit card or paypal if it blows out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

300SL-24 Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Thanks, worse case scenario is I lose £75 but should get that back from PayPal or the credit card company, best case an cheap exhaust turns up at the door! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveyP Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Does it matter where the balance pipe is? Could it effectively just be a shared tail pipe? I'm thinking along the lines of a 2.7-look oval tail pipe to replace the 3.2-look twin round ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a balance pipe isn't going to do anything if it's at the tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
