[Mk2] [Turbo] Exhaust silencing advice/ideas?

[Bagaz]

Hi all. Hope you've had a fantastic xmas season.

Ok, so i have a blueflame exhaust fitted to my 2 and it's far too loud for my liking. The entire system has been replaced from the turbo back and i am looking for ways to quieten it down a bit. I do not wish to change the exhaust if possible as i very much like the look of it.

So i was thinking that maybe i could chop a chunk out of another part of the exhaust (maybe downpipe?) and weld in some sort of universal silencer? Not been able to find anything to suit yet online.
Any ideas/suggestions would be very much welcomed.

Thanks, Mark.

Couple of these (Presuming you have a twin exit) Should keep the noise down

Thanks for that

Do you think this would cause any noticable loss in performance (more so than another silencer) due to being restrictive?

I found the same thing with my blue flame. I actually rigged up an exhaust butterfly valve on one side to quiten things down.

Alongside this, i had the tailpipes changed for 2 x twins. This in itself made a massive difference in the boominess, even with the exhaust valve wide open.

Sorry, they are not quick fix answers ! but just to let you know what i found worked.

The exhaust bungs would reduce the noise as mentioned above, i dont know how much power loss they would incur - maybe not even noticeable.
