BOB B Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hi everyone, (or some of you at least) as the thread title says I have a quandary that I hope you could help me with, by giving your thoughts, opinions or views on. I had a Nur Spec RX on the car and I've always found it, (up to 4000 revs), a little quiet, though from then on the sound is very good. So I went and bought a second hand Nur Spec R, great sound for me but my wife hates it, so most of the time I run with the bung in, but not keen on this because it is restrictive. Should I put the RX back on and stop wanting a really aggressive sound (I don't think of it as noisy), also there has been a few threads lately about people being fined for an over loud exhaust. Or. Should I stick with the R and put up with the bung and driving normally, with the occasional spin as it should be, nice and free flowing. Also does anyone know if you can mix and match the sections of exhausts to get a level somewhere in between. Any helpful post would be great. Thanks.

Josh Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Buy some earplugs for your wife... I made it clear to my girlfriend before I bought the car that I was going to put a big exhaust on it Edited April 2, 2011 by Josh (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOB B Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Yup, I suppose if I leave the bung out then I will have peace, by myself, earplugs mmmm or Ipod up loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Are you de-cated? If not, then perhaps it may help a bit. Personally the RX suits me with a double decat. It has a great rasp when you need it and a nice burble at low revs, but it doesn't pee me off at all, nor do I get a headache after a reasonable blast.

BOB B Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Yes I am de-cated, and I know what you mean, but this "engine noise" kid keeps getting in the way, but the R does drone after few hours. I think my old sensible head may have the final say here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-one234 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 must admit, i fancy a nur spec r exhaust for mine, purely because its loud and the supra deserves a loud exhaust lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 i have the RX, it's nice to hear more of the engine, especially when you boot it as it's not drowned out by exhaust noise... but i do sometimes miss a little more aggressive note when driving about. Trying to stay classy though! i might try and swap it for an R at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB B Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Thanks for the comments, it seems that we are all mostly in an undecided opinion, and if we're not its about 50/50! either way sometime soon one of them will be up for sale, (and then I'll change my mind again, "oh the woes of a multi exhaust life"), no one has made a comment about mix and matching them, I may try that this weekend.
