My initial take on it is that the Peco exhaust system is really, really QUIET! I was simply amazed. From reading the posts in this thread, I was expecting a really loud exhaust. Not this exhaust. Big time QUIET.


It is reasonably quiet at rest - just a nice burbly resonance. However, take it out and floor it :burnout: and you will soon change your mind. I'm pretty sure you won't be saying QUIET after that Algirdas. If so, I'll eat Monty's boxer shorts.

New Large Bore Exhaust

Dear Mr. Rambo:

We'll know Sunday, I guess, when I take my girlfriend home to Denver. But don't you consider devouring Mr. Monty's boxer shorts a bit extreme? Will they at least be recently laundered?

Sincerely,

Algirdas

New Large Bore Exhaust

Postby algirdas » Thu 16.08.2007, 16:05

Dear Mr. Monty:

Yes, I still do have the pre-cat. Do you think that can make that big of a difference? Even those times I blipped the throttle to 3-4,000 rpm, the car was still eerily quiet. The racket from the lifters was louder than the exhaust.

I'm starting to suspect that Peco Dave had his boys supply me with a muffler/silencer from a hearse just so they can all have a hearty belly laugh at the expense of the big, dumb Yank from Colorado.

Sincerely,

Algirdas

PS You may want to consider boiling your shorts in meat before feeding them to Mr. Rambo. I hear that is what they do in France.

Yep. And one day Sy will allow you access to the 'Shhhhh!!!, Plan BigAl area! - Secret area that everyone but one person can see!' thread.

Yep. I can vouch for that. With a handful of garlic. :wink:

If there strict on the noise level then the Peco will not be for you :?

I did hear that Peco/Dave is going to do a quiter silencer.

BTW you need exhaust system without CAT

I believe the answer to both is 'yes', but it would be best to call Peco and speak to Dave Jones. Probably best to speak to him if you want to order anyway.

Shame the noise may be a problem for you. I have heard one and it sounds nice..

i just got one, 310 to my door, 40 to get it fitted by local chap

i am getting boost creep, but only right onthe edge before changing gears up so its either a mountain chip (for the increased fuel cut off figures) or get that turbo off and ported jobber in the summer

hmmm

but appart from that, getting better power thru to the wheels and i think the noise is great

mick
now i have one, i just want to keep tinkering with it!!!!!!!
sorry mum :(

yup, but my current abode has no garage, hence leave some bigger jobs till the summer time when a warm back is better than frozen fingers


mind you, i am seriously thinking about having the cam belt done soon, water pump, tensioners etc etc

and if i'm right that means the turbo has to come off, in which case it'd be worth waiting till the belt change and asking the garage to do it, been quoted about 450 quid for the change, but i'll have to look into it further and win some more poker games before i go for it

:agree:

The turbo is on the exhaust manifold, at the front. The cam belt etc is all at the side. The two do not interfere with each other.
