twijesiri Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 It had to happen! I now have had my 1st formal complaint about the supra. I live in a block of flats and my parking bay is right out side this lady's front down and because the car park is enclosed every time i drive the car it sounds like i am in a tunnel. now she has gone and sent me a formal compliant about how loud the supra is. If any one has any ideas on what i could do to sort this out with out resorting to a brick threw her window i would be great full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Maybe you can get a baffle to fit in the exhaust to cut the noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefgroover Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Either - get a tanabe touring fit a cat fit a baffle as above mentioned Most aftermarket exhausts are anti social. What exhaust have you etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Go and have a chat with her. Apologise for the noise and let her know that you're looking into ways to make the car quieter, and that you hope to have something sorted within the next month or so. That'll probably be enough on it's own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I can recommend this although you may need to check its fits non Apexi Exhausts -: APexi Active Tail Silencer http://82.110.105.84/apexperformance.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=16&products_id=999&PHPSESSID=c9006ffba837e5d4b27a9d74ae367e52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrenlea Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I know this is probably stupid but what is really needed is a device you can stick in the exhaust just to start it up and drive round the corner and then remove. I imagine this would solve everyone's problem. If you buy an already modded Supra I guess you would not appreciate the difference, but having only had BPU for a couple of months I have to say the difference is CLEAR ! I used to have a seriously "smoothly deep" sounding quiet car. My daughter fell into hysterical laughter last week when she saw the word "silent" on the new exhaust.

RobSheffield Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 According to garage its an NA with HKS exhaust. Little more detail would go a long way Which HKS exhaust, are you fully decatted etc? A Chiefgroover says, Fit one or both cats if they are out and get a quieter exhaust....

Class One Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 When you say "formal complaint" what exactly do you mean? Who has she complained to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uzthedentist Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 if you dont wanna change the exhaust then just fit a bung in, theyre usually fitted with 2 or 3 m6 bolts, holes are probably already present if its a HKS exhaust here are some links http://thmotorsports.com/apexi-integration/apexi-super-silencer/g-50082.aspx http://thmotorsports.com/perrin-performance/perrin-exhaust-silencer/g-50819.aspx http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=441 (2nd down) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mazda-RX7-FD3S-HKS-Hi-Power-Exhaust-Silencer-Bung_W0QQitemZ270144241651QQcmdZViewItem looks like gaz can get them: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/archive/index.php/t-97698.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 also discontinued afaik what exhaust do you have APexi N1 I bought my active silencer just last year, it would be a shame if they are discontinued. I have been very pleased with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twijesiri Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Wow i was not expecting such a response. Thanks all for the great links. to fill in some of the blanks. she complain to the managment company, who have logged the compliant with me. and the exhuast is a super dragger. but i took TLicense advise and spoke to her after i calm down a little. i explained that i only drive the car bettween 8.45am and 23.00pm on a weekend (not early every weekend just when i need to go somewhere) and i thought that was very consideret of me. she now seems not even able to look me in the face. but i think i should look in to getting a baffle i think i might go for charlie ones next, next pay day( let her suffer a bit more). cheers all for the advise!!!

Supra-Dupra Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 http://www.nengun.com/apexi/exhaust-control-valve Like a Restrictor Ring with a butterfly flap. Pull a cable it closes and goes quieter. Edit: simliar posted, but cheaper from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Is it possible to fit a 1.2 bar restrictor ring on the n/a? It would restrict the flow as well as noise. Can't see why it won't work unless your exhaust is specially designed for an n/a and not a turbo (turbo - bigger piping). ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
