Exhaust bung/silencer

[Neil-NA]

This may have been coverd before but I didn't see much on the search.

 

I would like to try using the exhaust hung in my nur spec r, but was wondering if its likely to cause any damage by using it all the time.

[Josh]

I asked this when I was going to get myself a Nur Spec R and the general response was not to drive hard with the bung it as the EGT gets pretty high. Also I assume it would cause quite a restriction in the exhaust.

Be fine (especially so on a na), i use mine all the time, never effected my EGT's either, ive never held it flat out with the bung in but i have blasted it through a few gears many a time and nothing seems effected to me.

[Neil-NA]

I have put it in for now until I can find a quieter exhaust I like.

Can't see the problem on an NA Neil..!!

I was thinking it might just be a case of keeping the revs down but after more research it turns out nothing will happen.

 

Will keep it in unless I'm at the pod or fancy being a loon for a night.

I ran one for 8 months in my HKS silent hi power on the NA without a problem.

I was told not to put one on a tt bpu ? I think i'm going to get the evil eye off the cops

Lamboyello has one on his BPU TT now, on WOT it makes it sound like he has a screamer pipe. Sounded awsome on the way back from the 8 Ball Cafe He hasnt mentioned any issues so far.

I was only going to put mine on for the m.o.t,it has twin janspeed ss decats and a hks high power,not sure what it sounds like on WOT but just ticking over it's a bit loud.with the bung in it sounds crud

Where do you all get the bungs? I need one for my 6" exit pipe but can only find 4" bungs.

[SupraDan24]

You'll prob have to get one custom made. You have a 6" Exit??!! Mines 5" and i thought mine was huge lol.

 

Does anyone know if running a bung full tim is detramental to a Bpu??

[Neil-NA]

Even though i am only NA i 'think' i feel a difference, its as though i have gained a bit of torque low down and lost power top end, simple thing for me is i now dont put my foot down, even managing slightly better MPG up from 17.9 to 21.1

 

TBH i hate the sound it makes but i will be keeping it in for a while and only removing it for suprapod.

when i bought the car i drove with the bung for a little while but removed it as i found it too quiet, i wasnt thinking it would improve performance but its a massive restriction, i can feel a big difference with it out.
