Side exit question

[simyboye]

Hi there,
Just finishing off my 90Q S2 conversion and want to have a fruity sound, so was thinking of a side exit...

Will I need a silencer for this, if so any ones in particular? Can I use a cherry bomb type?

Will not be used as a cruiser etc.

I have done this before with a 3 inch system coming off the decat pipes. boost went from 1.3 to 1.5 bar !

was quite loud to be honest but certainly turned heads, sounded more like a flame spitting V8 than an I5.

I've moved the car round the block with just the downpipe and it was loud as you like...
But with a silencer and side exit where the fuel pump is, reckon would be quite good.

[andyg plym]

yes that may be a good location as on my s2 coup it was just behind the drivers door

[simyboye]

Twas it loud and did you have a silencer?

[andyg plym]

had a large silencer,,,,,,,and still very loud

[simyboye]

Ahem... maybe a no-go on this one then. Especially on track days...

simyboye you got any better pics of your/the car in your avatar???

Needs to be 95dB or less for track days really, especially if you're looking at Combe etc. You'll struggle to get that with just a single box side exit. One option is a small resonator and then a larger box under the rear seats.

Mine ahs 3" down pipe, 100CPI cat and then drops to 2.5" over the rear axle with a single silencer, 90dB when tested last weekend.
