Lexus Jim
Its good isn't it. Had mine on for a week now and still loving it
petejenkin
Whats the holes either side of the tail for then?
Lexus Jim
I've no idea, was intrested myself
whitie
I think its so you can put like a muffler in?
Fargo
get your precat removed pete, then not only will you have a little more power but also an even deeper tone..
Brettster

My girlfriend find my Super Drager to noisy.
Can i put the same to make it not so loud icon14.gif
PhoneDrome
To loud inside of the car?

That you have to test. Get/build a long Silencer and cut it down until it sounds right for you. Perhaps a motorcycle-garage can do that.
But its not easy.

Because of this very long silencer you only hear the exhaust when speeding up. Its very quite inside. Its not like a typical BMW-tuning-exhaust (deep roarrr), it has a much higher note, more like a trumpet. Asia fast and furious.
If you know the video of the I6-Exhaust-Competition from NorCal-Meet it is similar to the HKS Carbon/Titanium (last car in this competition). Thats how I wanted it to sound.
aido
Sounds like you're happy then Pete! Sounds awesome when she's warm right?!

Luckily I'm working 70 miles from home at the minute so taking the car everyday just so I can hear her warm - sounds bloody mad when she's warm and it's getting bloody louder (and I don't think mine goes as loud as what you NA boys are!!!)
Colin P
When I first fitted mine it wasnt that loud but then after a few miles it went through puberty and its balls dropped or something and its much deeper now, oh, plus the induction kit helped.
petejenkin
Took her for some thrape last night down the motorway just for purposes of testing and bedding her in of course whistling.gif

I hope the smell goes in a bit, its gastly.

I think I will get rid of the pre-cats, but Im just a little worried about test time, and really cannot be ****d with changing things over again just to satisfy a test.

Just want an induction kit now....... nice sound at both ends then............suck at front, blow at back.. ohmy.gif biggrin.gif
tof
Yes, inside the car.
But it's only between 2000-3000rpm.
Lexus Jim
you should still pass the mot with the precats removed pete (if thats what you meant)
petejenkin
Yeah, I think I will remove the Pre-Cats, I must source some replacement pipes.

One thing that concerns me is the temperature of the tail pipe. Is this heat likely to damage my paint on my rear bumper. The tail doesn't touch, there is about a 15mm gap, but it gets damm hot. Should I put a heat shield on do you think?
aido
Pete, mine gets as warm as chuff but no problems with the rear bumper. Similar spec to yours except with the charger fitted.

Think Duncan has got some heat wrapping stuff on his car, or maybe Besty??
Gus Woodcock
I've had mine on nearly 12 months now and never had any problems with the paint, and don't know anyone who has, so it should be fine mate.
TheDon
now get the TDi induction kit, i had the hiper b4 i fitted the induction kit. all i can say is that it ROOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSS like hell and is much better than with the standard air box. Throttle response is greatly improved and power is definately up!
petejenkin
Is that the TDI Kit made from Carbon Fibre? Have you got the cold air box aswell for it Don?

I was looking at these only yesterday. If it is the CF one, whats the quality like?

Are they worth the money, and the 4 week wait?
TheDon
well its carbon fibre on the outside but truth be told its fibreglass on the inside! but it looks great. altho i had to drill it to mount the air temperature sensor.
Not got the cold air scoop thing, but wish i did. definately worth having.
Buy one now!

Thats Interesting...... Surely the fibreglass on the inside isnt silky smooth?

In my old days of modding the V6 Essex & Cologne Engines yucky.gif we used to make our own induction kits. We experimented with all sorts of things, including fibreglass tube, which was rough on the inside. We found that the smoother the bore of the tube, the greater the airflow? We found that any obsticle in the flow of air, caused a change, and the idea is, to get the air "spinning" in order to accelerate the flow of air into the plenum. Any roughness reduced the spinning effect and caused it to tumble which caused resistence. These theories were proven on a flow bench that we made. Sharp bends and welds that have penetrated too much internally and not ground back also have the same effect.

I might me wrong in this instance, as technology has developed just a tad since the days of the Capri whistling.gif but just a thought, thats all.
Lexus Jim
I seem to remember someone saying about the finding some fibreglass in their air filter who had one of these air boxes

I thought that as well. Had a frank exchange of PM's with Mark @ Tdi.........who offered a refund.

He PM'd me y/day to say only the prototypes are not pure c/f..........

So a new c/f induction kit from TDi is c/fibre
whitie
Wouldn't Firbre glass be a bit dodgy on the inside of an intake!?
petejenkin
I would have thought it would, after a time the internal finish of the glass fibre would decay and break down and your engine would start eating glass fibres and chunks of resin !! Not good.

Anyway, Ive just ordered a kit from Edge Tuning in Leeds, very helpful. Ive ordered the Trust Airinx B Type for 1G-FE, the whole lot including postage was a mere 145.00 quid. Apparently they are good systems. We shall see.......
Brettster
Where is Edge Tuning Pete? I live in Leeds

If you get a minute or two, pop into the shop and have a look, report back if you like, it would be interesting. I would go but Im in Scunthorpe, about an hour away.
Lexus Jim
Let us know how you get on with the kit Pete and put some photo's up. I've been after a kit for a while now, might nip over and get myself one as its only 50 mins away from my house
TheDon
why does no one make a indcution kit that would connect to the first part of the standard indction kit? that way you would get the cold air etc?
petejenkin
I dont think an induction kit that fits to the back of the air scoop would be really feasable. Where would you put the cone filter?

The filter needs to be at the front for maximum potential. These airboxes are restrictive cos the cool air get slowed down by the filter in the box before it goes into business. With the free flowing cone at the front, the air is twisted into a turbine effect behind it and hits your plenum cooler and faster than with the box.
aido
Pete, I'll be honest and say I don't know a thing about how these things work, but I thought the general consensus was that induction kits worked better with a cold air box?! I'm ordering one in a few days from Mark but are you saying that it should be better without the box?
petejenkin
No Mate, sorry to confuse.

I was on about the standard airbox, not the cold airbox......

Is it the Carbon one from Tdi your having?
aido
Yes mate, they're coming down in price soon so I might order both at once and chuck them in for a laugh msn-wink.gif

Thanks for clearing that up for me, it's all a bit beyond me :doh:
