FOCA Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 DPF internal removed yesterday and has given 3 times the increase felt from egr blanking, Levin is now top of the list, I've took a bit of the dpf combe home for a Souvenir lol The DPF would have been the main bottleneck in the exhaust system, holding the 2-1/2 inch system back - now it can reach closer to its potential (the turbo is almost bound to spool up faster, and probably worth a few (measurable) Hp on the dyno too) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the muffler a "straight through" tipe? (not very restrictive) I forgot to ask - is it noticably louder? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the muffler a "straight through" tipe? (not very restrictive) I forgot to ask - is it noticably louder? I'm guessing vickis response to this will be something like "I'd be happy to be miles behind him in the ugly car" But anyways the muffler is a straight through type part of the kit from piper, And I asked if it would be OK to remove the cat too and he said best to leave it in there so I did. But I notice it deeper base grumble like a mustang lol Not loud like raspy loud but yes more deep base grumble And sounds good in 5th the grumble idles when boost is low and crushing at 120kmh But when you floor it in 5th you hear this surge of grumble as the boost rises lol I'll try get Vicki to video it tomorrow or Vicki to drive it around and I'll video 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because petrol gives off different gasses compared to diesels so the catalyst would be different to neutralise some of those as it passes through, What diameter is the 200 cell and is I T304 ? The exhaust sounds jus like this video, but with absolutely no smoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny i'm a bit confused looking at the exhaust system from this company http://store.trwperformance.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_90&products_id=169 two exist pipe but is this with or without the DPF how did you attach your exhaust to your already fitted DPF and cat? is it the same to be done with the system from this site? I got a portuguese who could help with the language barrier and get it sorted even possibly pick it up for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a portuguese who could help with the language barrier and get it sorted even possibly pick it up for me That is with dpf and down pipe,It bolts on to the down pipe a straight swap, If I was you I'd purchase the turbo down pipe there too, Then get dpf electronic delete, You can then fit the new system, Pop the dpf back on for not, Or get the Shell fitted to the new turbo down pipe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmasterlooney Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Yeah i did find it in english thanks bud. on the photo of the two line system, did they put it together for photo purposes? is there a link there where DPF connects? i think i can see it from the pics but not sure. yeah i think i will purchase this kit including the turbo down pipe it's not a bad price. will have a word with my mate and get him to order it for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
