I had a K-Tec stealth on my car but after fitting the ITB's and the car getting a tendency to spit flames I wanted something that actually stuck out - so I swapped it for an Oreca Group N system (2.25")
I had a 200 cell sports cat made up for it and all was well - passes emissions tests for MOT easily, it's REALLY light and fits/looks good
However - it is actually killing my ears. On track days I'm wearing ear plugs and a helmet. Driving it back from Anglesey for 4hrs on the motorway was hell - had to have headphones in with iPhone on full to drown the noise out
Measured at over 110db inside with windows up
It's also measuring about 103db outside with the 3/4 rev test which is obviously too loud for a lot of track days too
I've also noticed I'm starting to get ringing in my ears the day after track days so obviously I need to sort it out
My dilemma is - do I chop the oreca middle pipe and get another 2.25" bore silencer fitted - like along motorbike style one, OR do I just sell it and get something else
If I mod the oreca to have an extra silencer am I completely ruining any re-sale value it might have?
I've already chopped the tailpipe down on it as it stuck out too far lol
Been looking at the K-Tec recessed system - it looks really nice and doesn't seem too loud but I've got a feeling it's really heavy like the stealth I sold
There really aren't any good options for Clio exhausts
My other issue is that the sports cat was made to fit with the oreca and it all fits perfectly - so I'm worried if I sell it and get something else that it won't just bolt on - the sports cat might be too short or something (I've got a 182 manifold as well btw)
Any recommendations?
