clio 1.2 16v exhaust

[andy_p7777]

just got a aftermarket exhaust and sounds really loud and instead ov makin a deep note its more ov a racket and backfires when gearing down is this a common thing?

Yup,

The lil 1.2 motors seems to be rather poppy lol

if you think its too loud take it to powerflow and they can quiet them down.

oh rite ok i woz just worried mi car was knackered, what do they do to make it quieter?

 

[Has]

They can change the baffles etc in the back box or fit a centre section silencer.

Best speakign to them regarding how you want the car to sound.

Hope that helps

Theres is no law governign this....

By centre box i mean after the cat (on the centre section)
Some Clios didnt have a centre box and some did - depending wot reno had left hehehe


my standard system had...


----CAT-------CENTRE SILENCER------------BACKBOX--


NORMALLY on a aftermarket system u only get


----CAT------------------------------------BACKBOX--




The only company i know that has a centre section silencer is Magnex hence why there systems are not soo loud. (good quality kit as well)

i have a silenced/quiet ktec exhaust so it has a extra silencer in the middle section

barely noticeable (nice rumble) when tootling along but pretty loud when raggin it
