Hey!
Sory for the LONG time :P
But yea, i've not been out of my car xD (that + i had exams).
I'll make some pics this week i hope (when i get it cleaned and the weather is nicer).

I had a question though, are there any movies of the sound of the: 7ism Cat Back Exhaust System from koreancarstyling.co.uk ?
Like examples of what they sound like, or would probably sound like on a 1.6 CRDI engine ?

Really interested in that to be honest. (its the 1 thing missing from the car i think, a good exhaust sound.)

Hi Olivier..

Think there might be a vid with sound on You Tube somewhere  :cool:

I had a custom made two inch (single outlet) exhaust made up with a straight through sports muffler. I used it for about 18 months and then swapped back to the original as I found it a bit boomy on long trips. (although in hindsight it is really only louder under hard acceleration)

Because the Turbo muffles the sound of the engine these type of exhausts don't add a lot to the exhaust note in a CRDi. When I had mine on and went hard through a series of winding corners (revving to say 4,500RPM) it did sound a bit like a quieter Subaru Impreza WRX  :mrgreen: (even the wife commented)

But in normal around town driving little if any difference...

O alright, and is there an exhaust system available (perhaps universal one that i can ask my garage to install/custom fit) ?
One that has like a sporty sound overall (not just at high rpm's).

I think a couple of members may have sourced or atleast found a source for a split (twin outlet) system in Stainless steel (Ex Korea I'm guessing) but wouldn't be cheap  :eek: (and no idea how it would sound)

Have a look in the Diesel Modifications section or use the search function...There are quite a few in the Pix from the Korean Club site but no info listed there..
