Center box

[milburnj]

Hi all have a Mk4 1.4 16v i have a back box i was told to have have the mid section cut out and have a state pipe put in i was wondering if this is worth having what difference to sound and power will i get ?

 

[mazzerati]

had this done last month! what backbox you got?

definate difference in sound! alot more raspy and pops alot which is good!

not alot of difference in power but it definately pulls better


i got a stainless centre section (with no box) going into the cupra backbox sounds great

centre section is the same width as the cupra pipe which is 54mm o/d iirc

got custom power flow backbox nice sound tbh yer, up load video ?

 

[mazzerati]

With powerflow backbox it will be alot louder but I'll get a video tonight!

 

[milburnj]

hope fully not over loud and well sound nice yer if u can get it up by tomoz morning just to be a pain wana get it tomoz if i do haha, so what u have done ?

 

[mazzerati]

here you go mate



for some reason on the video its not as loud as real life probably cos its a poxy camera microphone.
gives the nice tone tho
im gunna go back tho get it louder one day make it full stainless cos i looove the pop it makes!

 

[milburnj]

oh it pops 2 ? i am in haha u on 1.4 ? and is that from after the de cat ? or u ahve the cat taken out ?, if u want it louder get cat taken out, or a better way is get a sport cat

 

[mazzerati]

Pop like crazy when it's real hot lol sometimes in between gears

That's just from the cat.
I was going to take the cat out but I can't be bothered to put it back in for mot lol

 

[mazzerati]

i love it. proper love giving it some even tho its not that quick its just fun to rev and now its lowered practically nout can touch it in the corner anyway

 

[milburnj]

[mazzerati]

Video?

 

[milburnj]

well some one sayed best sound and soudns like a 2.0l apparently haha but u know yer will do soon

I want a nicer sounding exhaust and one that looks better. Is the Cupra back-box chromed?

I'd love an exhaust that popped like crazy and sounded like that too, I would just want it quieter. Maybe a sports silencer in the mid?

 

[flegz16]

get a custom one made up mate. you can then choose the sound and tip

 

[mazzerati]

It was a chromed tip but I sprayed it Matt black

Yer get a centre box if you want it quieter.
As flegz said. Custom is the way to go matey

 

[Cal91]

oh, I was thinking of that. Whats the prices on average for a custom?
