Well, after my latest excursion into a ditch, the exhaust finally got too bent! Had taken a beating for a while now so this made me decide to finally sort a new one! Here ar the pics of my first fitting. Not bad for a bit of cutting, and loosely fitting it on i thought... Obviousy clamps will be put at more suitable angle when finally fixed!     |

Is that just a straight pipe from the exhaust manifold?  Surely you will loose a lot of power with that and crate a lot of noise. ________________________________________ 1997 Black GTi6smithers205 at hotmail.com |

Its just straight pipe for now yes, a friend in Belgium has a genuine group A backbox lying around, so willhopefully have that ff him a some point soon! And at the moment it should be within the noise regs! |

i doubt that would be in the noise limit |

You will now have about 3bhp! People will hear you a million miles away and it will sound like your going fast until you roll by at 30mph. Should have put that on a corsa  ________________________________________ Team Nile 6 Team: 40.2 MPG  5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™  I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness  |

quote: So my 1.4 Pug wont be going super fast then?  First rule of removing silencers and cats is to reduce the bore to make up for the loss in back pressure. I run a full stainless manifold back on my 6 with no cat 1 mid silencer which is pretty big and a rear silencer which is also pretty big. I had my bore reduced from the standard 2.5 inch bore to a 2.25 inch bore to compensate. You have to remember straight through boxes and or no boxes in your case allow the exhaust gases to escape alot quicker but without back pressure your losing soooo much power. Increasing bore sizes to gain power only works on engines with forced induction. ________________________________________ Team Nile 6Team: 40.2 MPG 5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™ I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness |

Stick with it, once the backbox is on it I'm sure it will be a cracking system, no resonator box on it might make it a tad harsh to live with though ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Oi!On the other hand, I drive mine daily with only a Devil backbox, so it's doable  Very loud and sharp sound, way over noise regs too! Definitely a loss in torque, meaning you'll have to rev the shit out of it.

So by adding a silencer its going to make huge gains is it? I think if i can aim somewhere in the region of 0.2psi or below of back pressure, then that will be sufficient! Anything over that is likely to produce a minimal loss of power, depending on just how much of it there is.It is exhaust gas velocity that is the difference between making power or not, if i used a 5 inch bore system, id end up with the gas just hanging round! Im pretty sure its going to be moving along at a fair rate of flow as it is. As for the time taken, that took me less than an hour putting that together, was only 3 cuts to make, then slot it all together. |

It won't make a dent in top end power I'd doubt... Backpressure is there to help low down torque, due to valve overlap at low RPMs, most of the mixture gets blown out the exhaust, backpressure is there to help keep the pressure up in the exhaust, so it doesn't blow as much out at lower RPMs, thereby increasing torque. When you're "on cam" - that's where the inertia of the air filling the cylinders enables the cylinders to fill a wee bit more than would normally be possible... Obviously your loss of velocity will prevent as good scavenging from the cylinders, but I doubt it'll impact enough to counter the gains at high RPMs from the lack of backpressure leaving exhaust gasses in the cylinder. This is how I've always understood it. Amirite? |

Yes, to a certain degree, but as with most things to with the complexities of IC engines - there's more to it than can realistically be explained in a forum post, and there will always be those you believe you need backpressure for torque and other such things such as overheating ex' valves. (And to a certain extent they're right, it can affect drivability)Speaking in general, the exhaust manifold ("banana bunch" ) geometry affects your scavenging effect the most, whereas your exhaust's main tube geometry has most effect on the backpressure produced by the system as a whole. One of the important things to remember about backpressure is that really, there's no constant pressure - just pulses blasting around the manifold from the other cylinders, it's a load of spikes. The idea is to tune your exhaust so that these pressure spikes (and corresponding pressure dips ) help to a) suck the dead-volume exhaust out of the next exhausting cylinder, and b ) help draw in the fresh charge. Also if you've got a turbo, you can funnel these pulses in pairs to the turbine wheel, which gives better performance. Google 'twin scroll turbo' images to see manifolds which pair cylinder pulses and feed them to the turbo. Once you start looking for maximum power, you want your banana bunch you give you a nice scavenge effect at your target power band (when you're "on-cam" ), and then you want as little back pressure as possible after that so you have as little tube length as you can get away with. The engine releases a certain amount of energy from the fuel. The less of this energy you use trying to push gas down tubes, the more makes it to the road. Take a look at an F1 exhaust. Banana bunch to atmosphere, cos all they care about is maximum power, drivability comes a close second.
