[Mk2] [Turbo] N/a Exhaust on a Tubby

[platmatt8]

Just wondering how loud an NA exhuast would be when fitted to a tubby?

Anybody had experences with this?


Im asking because i love the look of blueflames Na exhaust and not there tubby exhaust.

[fearless]

people change n/a to tubby so i cant see why a decent welder could adapt it to fit to be honest, only thing wouldnt pipe diameter be bigger for the turbo than an n/a im sure someone will correct me

I had a Nur Spec on my n/a and god was it loud !! be warned lol

An N/A exhaust on a turbo should be extremely quiet. As N/A's don't have the noise deadening of a turbo there is much more baffling in them. It's when a turbo exhaust goes on an n/a that the opposite happens, mentally loud!

You can probably do it, but it might be a little restrictive due to that baffling.

I had a very quiet system on mine which used to be a turbo, and it's is hellishly loud now I have the V6. Needs another silencer in there to be honest if I want to keep the backbox.

I`ve had an email off blueflame and they won`t attempt this design but the search will continue

if the system is the same; i haven't looked but could you get a exhaust shop to cut off the two pipes and weld on angled ones with smaller tips onto that?

Assuming its only the tailpipe design your not a fan?

[platmatt8]

the 2 designs are completly different, na has the same style box as stock and turbo has 2 seperate silencers.

Spoke to blueflame, their going to talk to the fabricating chaps and see what bespke system they can produce for me.

well had a chat with the fabricator today and he said providing he could mandrel bend the 3" with out restricting gas flow then it could be done but im looking at an estimate of £650

thats expensive but saying that i paid 500 quid for a crappy single exit powerflow system to be made il give it its due its held up well very nicely made and sounds the nuts i shall be modding it ti fit turbo
