Syed Shah Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 I know one or two people on this list have a Titanium Hiper, and quite a few have a ordinary one. I have just ordered a normal one and wanted to know if the titanium one was louder or not? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 The difference in sound is likely to be marginal. With the cats out both sound amazing....The titanium I believe is a bit straighter and turns a pretty colour when it gets hot. Bore size I think is the same. The HKS Ti will last longer I believe. Nice choice... I need to try my Drager with the Cats out before deciding if the Hiper is the way to go....but I think I annoy the neighbours enough already so they'll probably be hoping it stays as it is ... or I fit a HKS Priest.

Syed Shah Posted December 19, 2001 Author Share Posted December 19, 2001 Ok.... thanks Alex. I just wanted to put my mind at rest. I will probably get the titanium Hiper in the future and fit this one to our other car when i do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam W Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Don't know whether you'd be interested or not, but I was running my Mk3T all last weekend with no silencer or cats at all, and it sounded just like (wait for it!) a Mk4 with a Hiper, only slightly louder. An unsilenced turbo car is never going to be hugely loud because the turbo and associated plumbing take a lot of energy out of the exhaust stream - you might want to consider getting a bit of shiny pipe made up in place of a rear box, try it on the back of the car, and if it sounds bearable you could save yourself £500 over a Hiper!

Beware if you have big aftermarket turbbos, big exhaust housings on the turbos will make them sound a LOT louder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Syed, 'm not sure you can transplanet exhaust's between the TT and NA. Cheers, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipfinger Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 No, you can't transplant NA and TT exhausts, even the back boxes (so I'm told). That's why I'm having so much trouble finding a REALLY loud exhaust for my NA.......any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam W Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 You can get a Hiper for the NA (I've seen it at Shop!), whip the cats out and it should be way louder than a TT with decat Hiper (see above). Don't know what the cat arrangement on an NA is, but if the pipes aren't available get your local custon exhaust place to knock some up. You won't have to worry about boost creep either!

Branners Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 I have heard an NA with a hiper, and it is sooo stupidly loud that Im sure the police would stop you at every opportunity and your neighbours will hate you. You can basically hear it from a mile away burbling down the road. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
