    Side exit question

    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.

                  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.
