Pig Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I was going to use the TRAC motor, bought the Apexi control valve and fitting kit, but just fitted a Tanabe and re-plumbed the 60mm screamer, now its as quiet as stock. So have a complete Apexi control valve/track motor etc surplas if anyone needs one have you managed to do a vid yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private Pile Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 HOLY CRAP fella, this is the one i'm looking at http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch.asp?N=401127+115 they do 3" and 4" even with import duty you would only be looking at about £120, your man has put some mark up on that unless its with the electronic controller . . group buy anyone ? I could be very interested in a group buy... looks like a great bit of kit... electronically controlled too. I've got the HKS Ti as well but am driving it with the baffle at the mo whilst running the new engine in... seems alot quieter than my old 3 inch exhaust considering I've upgraded the mid and down pipes to 4" too... Does anyone know how much silencing a typical baffle produces? Cheers, PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_have Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I recently sold my HKS TI, stupid loud without the baffle, lost power and gained egt with it in:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 The exhaust work is now complete, I popped up this afternoon to check it out before it goes in for my new sound system install. As I expected the quality of work is of the highest standard , it looks exactly as I wanted (pretty much the same as the HKS Ti backbox which I've taken off). The backbox has been made so I can swap it back with the Ti if I ever wanted it loud again. Last time we measured it, it was between 105db & 108db (@4000 & 5000rpm). Now it's 100db @ 5000rpm , thats with the new electronic valve fully open. There's now a controller in the centre console compartment which allows me to control the valve in the exhaust, basically closing it a little brings the noise right down (I'd say it's on par with my XJ8 which is whisper quiet ) I didn't get any pics, but when I get it back after the sound system install I'll get some videos & pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
