with motorcycles its a safety issue, for some reason people often don't notice motorcycles, anyone who has ridden can tell you storiesI have yet to figure out why people think its cool to make cars or motorcycles louder on purpose.
If you are really concerned about motorcycle safety, buy a headlight modulator. They are thousands of times more effective than trying to make your bike so loud it annoys people.with motorcycles its a safety issue, for some reason people often don't notice motorcycles, anyone who has ridden can tell you stories
soo you only did the muffler after all huh? i guess you didnt like how my buddys jetta sounded hahah (we meet at julep, i have the 4 door Jolf)
THe same applys in winter, exhaust is Much louder bouncing offthe fresh snow..when i had my golf lowered on coilovers you could tell i had a muffler delete ...now that i put the stock struts with 337ae springs back on, you only hear the engine at freeway speeds.... ride height does make a difference due to the exhaust note hitting the pavement due to exhaust tip angle/placement
I agree, the only reason IMO to even consider a mufflerectomy is purely for the enjoyment of hearing the turbo spool.... You also get the added bonus of sooting up annoyingly bad Prius drivers as you take off at stopswow, alot more turbo noise than mine. Music to my ears.
Xaxaax it's like Christmas tree lolI guess you like your warning lights to all be on at all times too...
I just did this on my beetle yesterday. I will snap a picture....Well, I took the plunge today as well. Got the 2" dia Stainless pipe and 90 bend from a scrap yard for $4 and had the 1/2" rod laying around.
Took 4 hours!
Opinions: suprisingly quiet! Some spool on startup and shut down, but not a ton more while driving. Get the "BOV" sound during shifts (turbo veins shutting) Sounds stock at idle and pretty much anything under 2000 rpm.
Wondering if my cat is partially plugged or something, or if the 2" dia or turndown angle is limiting the turbo whistle I can hear...
So, basically you only want to hear from people that agree with you? Isn't the reason to post on here to get opinions from everyone?If you dont like it coment on anothe post
