Yozza modification

[Italian_Job]

Alright, as you know the Yozza is f**king loud but i love it
Looks like I'm gonna need my car daily and I have to say that exhaust is making my driving experience really hard to enjoy
Still I dont want to lose it so I came up with the silly idea to stick a resonator in the centre section (Janspeed/Piper style) Im looking around and gathering quotes from ddifferent exhaust centres atm

do you reckon fitting a resonator will manage to tone it a bit down and cure the drone??

cheers
Al

 

[Wick]

Yeah it's definitely doable Al.

I even think Fred used to offer the "oooh... suits you sir" version of the Yozza when he supplied them by special request.

 

[DaveDreads]

The only thing that'll cure a Yozza's noise is going deaf imo.

Demon tweaks sell a good selection of silencers, may be worth a look if you haven't already

Fairly easy to fit too

 

[Italian_Job]

ha ha I'll second that lol
I just wanna try to soften that horrible drone you get over 3k rpm that makes your ears bleed
I like it loud though!
Nice to hear that was an option available Wick! Ive been quoted around 110 quid to do the job.

Ill take a look mate but let's say Im not an ace at welding stainless LOL

Some are fitted with clamps, so buy silencer and try it up for size

Cut the length pipe and slide it over the exhaust and clamp it on

[Italian_Job]

I prefer to pay an extra 50 quid and have it welded in mate

 

[DannyR]

I got one fitted for £40, quietened down a lot. But it's a bit big and knocks occasionally

 

[Chris205]

ring jp exhausts mate then you wont void any warranty

 

[Dan519]

fit a cat. Still be loud as hell outside, but makes a big difference to inside noise

 

[Italian_Job]

I already have the cat on mate

ring jp exhausts mate then you wont void any warranty

nice one, i will do!

 

[Italian_Job]

Chris they re miles away!

i want to go for an oval resonator, like the one on the Milltek
£40 its a great price though

 

[DannyR]

Mines an oval one but it just fits!

 

[Dave Hester]

Why not just refit the cat, then its quiet

 

[leeds_182]

Just sell it to one of the yozza bummers on the forum and buy an exhaust thats acceptable for road use?

 

[WAR 23N]

Keep and and just go deaf haha

I have it on now!! its just to droney on motorway driving, fa

Keep and and just go deaf haha

I was actually considering that....

 

[Dan]

mines decated and its only loud inside if you have it at certain RPM.

mine did go alot louder when the fire ring and manifold wasnt seated correctly to fit the the decat but once i got a new once and sorted that it was fine.

 

[Italian_Job]

maybe something s wrong with my ears but I think a resonator may help a lot

 

[Dan]

do you still have all your interior parts (seats etc)

 

[Italian_Job]

yes I put them back recently because of the drone, i might be able to strip it back if the resonator does the job though
I happen to use the car almost daily now and I cant live with that noise, different when it was just my weekend car

 

[Fred@BTM]

stop being soft

 

[Italian_Job]

stop being soft

LOL! how dare you!
yeah maybe i'm getting old

 

[Italian_Job]

Cant belive you wrote that....."stop being soft" haha

 

[Italian_Job]

btw JP charges £170+vat+courier for a silecend centre section.......a bit pricey
i know you get waht you pay for

 

[EllD90]

Ring up a few custom local places?

 

[Italian_Job]

yeah i got in touch with http://www.empperformance.com/contact.html and http://www.longlife.co.uk/
popping down Saturday to let them take a look and give me a final price, both said the price could range from 100 to 120 all inclusive

just got a reply from btb as well, got quoted £300 + VAT to complet the job :headno:

 

[jpbacs12]

stop being soft

lol mines fully stripped out and has decat etc and I use it every day aswell I know what you mean but its not all taht bad if you drive it a certain way when you are poodling around and then when you rag it its fun lol

 

[Hutchie]

it could be worse, you could have an orbisoud.....

 

[BigDaveRotary]

[Italian_Job]

Ill buy one only if it comes with a pink butt plug

 

[jpbacs12]

Ill buy one only if it comes with a pink butt plug

Ah lad thats just wrong lol

 

[si_hartlepool]

How about selling it and buying an alternative that's quieter? I've got a Milltek and i can assure you it's more than bearable on motorways etc...

 

[Italian_Job]

had one, the noise level is absolutely perfect but after hearing a Yozza the MIlltek just sounds like a big fart to me
it lacks that raw raspy tone, Im not after a quiet exhaust i just want to tone the drone down and a resonator should do just fine
its a straight through design so it wont compromise the gas flow while cancellling some nasty noises
I'd swap it only with a silenced Janspeed, but I'm pretty confident to say that a Yozza+resonator will still sound 100 times better
