Centre Muffler

[rboksic]

yeh that's what I thought dazza, but this guy at the perf exhaust place reckoned the centre muffler was just a straight thru or something nad that the rear muffler was the most restrictive ????

The centre muffler is straight through ,

but the pipe is reduced in diameter to about 45mm in side the muffler.

Both pipes are perforated and whaped in glass rovings.

The D&T guys quoted me 90 for the replacement tube and 45 each for the stainless tips... 180 all up fitted.

Hey buddy so that 90 was for straight thru piping to replace the centre muffler, no hotdogs or anything? that's a pretty cheap mod haha

I didnt make it up to D&T on Saturday, hell I didnt even get home from the friday pub sesh til 8am Saturday morning haha, VERY MESSY !!!

hmm not a bad effort....i like the benders when u go out friday night and come home sunday midday....then your hung over till about wednesday....

[nang3]

hehe yeh no sh!t, I thought we'd all be home by midnight since we started at 2-3pm..

best effort ive done was down south in margs one time, had my 1st pint at 11am Friday morning, $750 and not one minute of sleep later and next thing I knew it was sunday 5pm haha !!! I was so hungover couldnt leave until tuesday afternoon hahaha and even then it was very painful mwaha..

did you get your tranny all sorted last week Lucas??

[Ralph Wiggum]

yeah mate she's all sorted and going like f*ck!! keep finding excuses to go for a drive....

[nang3]

haha your as bad as me mate, and mines still a stocker haha !!!!

so what of power are you making now roughly???

Ive noticed my car is loosening up a bit now that ive hit the 3000km mark - its starting to lose traction when revving out in 1st away from the lights which I dont think it used to.. I bet yours does that in 2nd and 3rd right hahaha..

One thing that I find pretty annoying though is the rev limiter - its nothin like the one in my Z which you could bounce of all friggen day, is there anyway of changing this thru the EDIT or whatever???

Also the slight pause when changing gears is annoying sometimes as well.

mines and auto and a ute so tractions a bit of a joke...its making 300rwkw and 800nm. simon from extreme tuned it with the edit and i preforms beautifully. i have an eboost2 fitted to it so i can lower the boost when its starts to raining of if i have a hangover and the heads abit fuzzy...

simon would be able to sort out your limiter with edit. i believe (dont qoute me!!) that the limiter is lower in first than in the other gears. my utes will take of fine but once it hits full boost (around 40kph) it starts spinning and will keep spinning until u back off...and now that the trans is beefed uo it will keeps spinning when u click second gear....its pretty good fun. will hafate take you for a spin in it..

Im sick of Perth redneck exhaust clowns. Some I have spoke to about this mod have no frigging idea about cars whatso ever. I had to put up witha spiel about turbos for 20 minutes from this exhaust guy in Balcatta. He knew absolutely nothing about the XR6T and wouldnt listen to anything I said. Same with a guy in Belmont........fkcuing incredible.

I have now found new wisdom from these exhaust clowns:

1. Removing the centre muffler will not change the sound of the car as the rear muffler does this.

2. The ford computer will need to be re-tuned after the mod as the ECU is not a self learning system like the fully rad sick cool unreal LS1 engines.

3. I should buy a cat back 3 inch system as this flows more than the 2 standard pipes and will make some noise unlike removing the centre muffler.

4. I should drink carlton cold as this is good beer.

5. I should buy some C4 and blow the clowns up and use there dead bodies to burley up some yabbies when I go visit my mates farm this weekend.

The only correct thing above is point 5. Seriously........why dont people just stop and listen???? maybe they might learn something.

Can someone tell me if my exhaust is standard ?

It is from the motor 1 pipe and into the cat then from the cat is maybe 2 - 2 1/2" twin pipes into the centre muffler and same untill rear muffler then into the xr6 tip which is one oval but 2 pipes inside.

It sounds stock as a rock! is this a standard one?

I thought it was a single system standard.

I have had exhaust places say "Go a 3" system" but wouldnt my twin pipes flow more air?

Can I still do the middle exhaust mod?

Just slap me if I sound like I have no idea coz I dont.

All I want is it to sound good.
