Mufflerectomy or custom exhaust?

[Gordz]

Have you had your car mapped aswell as the custom exhaust Tom?

The video was when i was running stage 1 software with a FMIC and full system.

Im now running a hybrid turbo, still with very little smoke.

 

[Gordz]

So say if my car was mapped & had a mufflerectomy, I still would have no smoke at all, unless I went for a hybrid turbo?

I know it's a little off topic - but could you loose any backpressure or performance by cutting out your backbox & having a straight through pipe? As after looking at the videos im defintley thinking about having a cheeky snip myself

Turbo diesels don`t need back pressure in the exhaust. Hybrids smoke due to wanting the most bhp possible from them which is what sales not whats the best map for the turbo.

I Didn't think they did.. just some one put it in my mind that they might! Well time to start pricing up a little 'Rectomy for my bezza!

Mine cost me £30 all I needed to buy woz the piping And I love it. Decat is going to cost me another £30 so in total in will cost me £60

 

[tdi_will]

£30! Not bad.. Did you buy the piping and take it to a garage for them to fabricate it, or did you make it up and just have them weld it on?Hopefully i can get mine done that cheap.. got V festival this weekend!

 

[Dave_88]

My mate owns a customs garage so all i did is pay for piping and he welded it all up for me

Nice, looks like ill take a trip with my neighbour down to Torque then!... Quite looking forward to abit more noise.. then hopefully one day a Vortex system! Might have to wait till ive cleaned my EGR and turbo.. getting alot of limp mode problems atm

There are far too many variables to say wether your car will smoke or not.

Even things such as outside air temps, can affect how much your car smokes. (hot air = 0less dense = less in cylinder = less efficient burn = more unburnt fuel = more smoke)

I've seen cars on stage one maps, that are far smokier than my car.

Your car will no doubt smoke. You just wont notice it as the tailpipe faces down, and the smoke is dispersed quicker.

i get the usual puff when you flor itbut nothing excesive and nothing at all wen criising!!!

if i was to get a system with one small silencer would that silencer effectivly be the back box or would it be further up the pipe and just a tip at the end?

Depends on where you want it. Generally, if its a custom exhaust, they will do what you want.

My silencer is where the original backbox was.
