Front Exit, Police Magnet??

[Bussey]

Right so I'm all booked in too have my Top mount manifold made and Front exit exhaust, the system will be straight from the turbo, 3 inches and internally gated. So it may be a tad loud and flamey

I've informed my insurers and they seem all good with it

Now I know as long as it's on the drivers side, and flush with the bumper, and insured, then it should be all good with the police? Right?

[Jamie5414]

If they want to be picky and do a sound check, then you may have a problem. I don't know what the public exhaust noise limit is though :/

[BIGGFOOT]

yeah its fine they don't look twice at mine!.... surprised really it sticks out a fair bit and looks like a space cannon

[TurboTobz]

Needs to exit after first set of wheels I think.

[Bussey]

Cheers lads, think it might just be a case of not taking the piss with it. Well, I hope so !

[Skimmy237]

Just get it! And make some noise ! I'm getting one in a few months

[Bussey]

Yeah I am mate, would rather know if I'm gonna get any hassle though haha

[Jay85]

Hey fella, if you really want to make sure, look up construction and use guidelines on the internet as this it what governs traffic law! Trust me, I'm in the know 😉😇

[DevonGT]

Been running one for over two years now and never had a problem.

If I could decide it I would pull every car without a cat and/or with a side exit from the streets. It looks horrible, sounds terrible and doesn't evev bring more power.

I'm pretty sure alot of people will disagree with you there. I know for a fact a decat on my glanza made a difference to the way the turbo spools and sure it added power.lucky you can't decided really

[Xpect]

Well, I know it adds power but the cost is more pollution. With a 200cell cat you'd have same power without pollution. Just my opinion.

But I really hate cars that are too loud even in low rpm and point their exhausts to the sides. Could damage other cars bodywork in worst case.

But well, I'm German, my father was a policeman and my mother a high official so I may be a bit strict in that. I don't like adding pollution without need and because I grew up near a main street I really really hate loud cars, especially in the night. Also around hereall loud cars are VWs and I hate VW.

Sports cats are silly money compared to a straight decat thats the only issue. Being parked behind a car can also damage cars bodywork the same way as a side exit surely?

[Xpect]

Not as much. The gasses out of a side exhaust are way hotter than they are on the back of the car. And this hot air shooting out the side may burn other peoples cars paint. But well I always go for the worst case. It's just my common sense for others and my sense for aesthetics tell me a rear exhaust is better. Otherwise all manufacturers had side exhausts on their cars.

[Skimmy237]

Decat and loud exhaust are both winners

[daniel_g]

Xpect this isnt the fucking governing body for pollution and emissions forum lol.

And a lot of vans have side exits and the exhaust systems arent very long at all, none of my cars paint has ever been burned off because of that.

[Tobyb94]

where are you getting your top mount and sideexit made as used to have one but sold it when i rebuilt the engine

[Skimmy237]

There's a boy near me that has an exhaust company and he said he will make me one no bother

Quest Motorsport in Essex mate

[scottsmith96v]

Av got one, may be coming up for sale soon need to see any pics or that add my Facebook Scott smith it's on my 5e tho

[shorty]

I loved mome on my v. Had it for years. Never had an issue. Db isnt an issue either as per the law it must be taken from 3m away from the rear of the vehicle haha so not an issue for noise. Also many lorries have front exhausts that exit infront of the front wheels. Thats to do with car mot's not traffic laws

[Bussey]

Sweeeeeeet!

Fingers crossed I get no hassle, the 17th of Feb needs to hurry up !!

[Ollieh17]

Anyone have tips on how to cut the bumper/ protect it from the gases. Dont really want a metal plate on it as it looks a bit ugly

fse >>> faster spool
