Centre Muffler Removal

[FAST-XR]

I just got mine done on saturday...

twin 2.5" with hotdogs, sounds good! no drone, plenty of burble, can barely hear it from inside the cabin when cruising... the spool up noise is heaps louder than the exhaust from inside the car...it has a nice tone, not just the extra volume...

I went 2.5" as it gives me the option to keep it if I decide to upgrade the rest of the system...

people say that their fuel consumption has gone up, I think its because you cant help but stay on the throttle a bit longer to hear the music! haha

I found mine VERY LOUD and lumpy when starting from cold and once warmed up it sounded like a tractor unless you were giving it heaps then it sounded great. Dunno why it sounds different though.

its louder because its idling an extra 400 rpm quicker at start up, as the idle speed slows down as the engine warms up, the volume drops too... a warmer engine also idles a bit more consistantly...

had my centre muffler removed yesterday and reckon it sounds magical, took 30 mins cost 80 bucks, money well spent, feels like it revs cleaner and faster, maybe slightly more push, big thing I noticed was fuel consumption has gone down since box been removed, now getting 12.3 per 100 k's, laughin..........

I remeber someone or some people on this forum, saying that..

With this centre muffler removed, if you changed the CAT and still had the stock system, MINUS the centre muffler... it makes the exhaust note sound realy hollow and BAD..

I cant seem to find this post.. can someone please confirm this. AS I Intend to get a hiflow cat on before my tune..

would having a tune make the ehxuast note better if the CAT was changed from stock..

??

Mine has the center muffler removed and has a 100 cell cat in it and it sounds terrible.

Was just at the Exhaust shop this morning seeing about getting some hot dogs put in

so im not embarrassed to start it in front of people.

It sounds a bit better once its warmed up but still not a nice note that I want.

Interesting.. I'll take your word for it then..

I guess its a possibility that I'll have to get a system rather than hold onto the stock zorst.
