mufler or not

[fruity_south]

monday morning when starting the car the house 3 doors down from us car alarm went off (i might add his car is in a garage and its not an overly sensitive alarm) so after lots of thinking (about 5 mins worth) i put the mufler on my nur-spec r exhaust. im un decided weither i prefer the sound or not so i thought i would put it to a vote, those who own nur-specs or simular do you prefer it with the mufler or without. might also add it has now stoped to rear of the cars interior ratteling around.

I run a double decatted Nur Spec on my TT without baffle and find it fine, although as you say my neighbours probably dont

[AndrewOW]

Is your N/A decatted? As it would be a lot louder than a decatted TT using the same exhaust IIRC.

 

I also don't think you won't suffer from a drop in performance that much, as the TT needs to breathe to get the best out of it.

 

I think a decatted N/A would sound quite nice with the muffler in personally.

 

EDIT: Mine's a decatted TT with a Nur-Spec, it sounds great IMO, and I also still have the muffler, but have never used it.

mines got boths its cats still. wont take them out until the swap as having custom exhaust ect made. must admit it does give off a nice sound with the muffler sounds more sporty then boy racery if you know what i mean

 

 

EDIT. though i am worried about MOT with a decat

though i am worried about MOT with a decat

 

From what i have read it seams this depends on the garage. Although mine passed

[fruity_south]

well i need to really find a good garage for my mot, how on earth they will check brakes im not sure and will have to find one who is kind enough to pass it with a decat when i get to that stage

I think my exhaust is a Blitz one, I think it probably sounds better without the muffler only becuase it rattles after a bit soon after I screw it in. But to be honest the whole noisey exhaust thing is starting to feel a bit passé,if only becuase I think it annoys people late at night and early in the morning.

you may not have a choice mate when the neighbours get p*ssed off, phone the council and you end up with a noise abbaitment order or a fine for anti-social behaviour

On my old BPU Supra, I had the Nur Spec R. I had it dyno'd with and without muffler, to compare the difference. I lost 10bhp with the muffler in.

 

Either way, I've always disliked the sound of the Nur Spec R. Too droney on the motorway and not to the liking of my migraines!

Nur spec here , one cat still in and no baffle - I like it , looks good and sounds good . Dont plan on trying the baffle ever again .
