raspy chav like exhaust probem

[Adey.]

Ok when i got my latest clio it already had a decat and janspeed catback on. The thing is, it just sounds a bit raspy/tinny on acceleration. Is this normal for them? would putting the cat back in get rid of the god awfull rasp? it just makes me think of a saxo with a powerflow on lol.

Vids?

jonff had a tinny/raspy/throaty/growly exhaust and I've never heard a small capacity engine make that noise. It sounded like a v8!

 

[Adey.]

ill try and get one, ive checked it over expecting it to have a box failing but there are no actual rattles from the box's

 

[ed55j]

Yes put the cat back on.

 

[Fletcher]

Putting the cat back on will get rid of the rasp, and make more of a droney type sound. Will it did do with my Ktec stealth system.

I personally prefer a raspy sounding exhaust mind.

I miss the Adey that had six cylinders and antilag

 

[Corby G]

Mine does that at a certain rev range, once it goes past that it's back to normal again but a more aggressive noise. It's at about 2,500 rpm to 3,000 rpm.

Nutter for selling it!

mines outside covered in masking tape and news paper. Been getting rid of the famous boot lid corrosion.

Mines with a Ktec/janspeed box on as well. I've got a feeling the exhaust heat shield doesn't help matters too much as it's a bit saggy at the moment. Have a look at yours as it might be vibrating and not helping matters.

Id get another but it would need to be ko4'd, handling is a let down but 12.6 quarters and apocalyptic acceleration above motorway speeds made up for it. Was as far as I could get it on stock turbos. Got much planned for yours?

Good shout I'll take a look underneath and see if it's loose or rattling

I heard that car, was insanely loud, from a distance it made a Gallardo type noise!

I hit the limiter a couple of times going through tunnels because I could not hear my car over his, he was behind me too lol it was so disorientating lol

 

[welshname]

Yeah jonffs car was awesome. Ktec stealth, decat, centre silencer BUT all the baffles in the back box were basically gone. Was the most distinctive noise in a car ever.

Such want

It's fun for meets and videos, but I couldn't live with that. Mine's bad enough for droning with a cat and silencer.

Anything with KO4's fetch strong money though. Good ones are going up in price.

Mines going to have replacement EGT sensors and the timing corrected, then it might not be running in limp mode with about 220bhp!

That sounds tragic.

YOUR AN TRAGIC.

I might have to swap mine at some point.
It's abit loud for my old ears lol.

 

[welshname]

Is that Bren's old one?

If so that went from Warrington, to Chester, to Northern Ireland and now back to Warrington.

Yeah, crazy ain't it!
Was only 2 minutes down the road from me when Bren had it.
I picked it up from Northern Ireland a month or so ago.

 

[welshname]

It's even funnier that Bren sold it to move to NI and the car ended up following him there.

 

[Jonff]

I prefer this video of that exhaust tbh (Same exhaust but on my ph-1) had a slightly bigger silencer but was still pretty loud, was well under any noise restrictions at Oulton though.

 

[Adey.]

think i might just be getting old then lol, would prefer it to be a little deeper in tone, other than the rasp at certain revs its sounds ok
