silencers...

yah, theres probably a huge decrease in power and spool responce when installing the silencer. i guess the only benefit is a lower chance of getting a fix it ticket for having a "loud" exhaust...
silencer is....dumb
usually the outlet is smaller than the stock exhaust, so it will hurt performance badly...

I keep mine in the backseat in case I get pulled over. LOL. Just in case.

Apex'i has one where it opens up when there is a large flow of air or something along those lines..
yeah, but it's still smaller than the real opening...
get a good resonator installed (or get a catback with it), and if needed get the butterfly valve that installs in the exhaust system that allows you to close it to nearly shut the car up...
you can also get to the nice spot in the throttle where there isn't any load and it's dead quiet (good for flying past the cop sitting on the side of the road)

I've got mine in right now, it makes a big difference in the droning sound of the exhaust, but haven't really noticed a major drop in power.
I'm a pretty light throttle driver these days, though. Trying to baby this engine to make it till my project motor is ready.

I can not wait til mine gets made. Custom 4 inch all the way no muffler nor anything.. That is my goal
I bet its going to be loud as hell.

^^I'm a sucker for LOUD, deep 4" exhausts coming off an inline six...
But 4" exhaust with no muffler crosses the line. I think it sounds horrible...

Yeah I am hoping it sounds good. I see allot of MKIV's doing it and it sounds AWESOME. Looks bad ass too.
maybe you could incorperate a removable silencer for that. take it out when you need to. put it back in if your just cruising the bully.

i thought i read somewhere that the silencer for the Blitz Nur Spec doesnt realy harm performance. cus, thats what i have, the Blitz Nur Spec R with a BIC test Pipe and Cooleze Mega Mouth DP. so, with all that, would the silencer realy do that much harm to its performance?
Silencer just restrict power. Look at the hole on that silencer and compare it to your stock outlet. Doesnt matter how big your piping is, if your end is still small then your no better stock IMO.

sen that car in person, and yes it's FUCKING HUGE and it's damn scary sounding...
it's not as loud as you'd think, turbos are really good mufflers...
