[car_upgrade] Stef's 205 Gti6 Conversion And Tidy

[stef205 92 1 Cars]

well last week i was stopped in the car by the police and they tested the exhaust for noise, admittedly it was in the paper that they had a new toy, they were allowing 90dbs i got 86db at idel and 94db at 3k so they fined me £30. So this week i made a new system up from stainless, 2.5" system with 2 boxes and 3" tip and it came out like this

Im now waiting for them to ring me so they can test it again, although i have a db meter on my phone and it came to 81db so fingers crossed.

Also i had a new chamber made up for my throttle bodies, hopefully it will fit under the bonnet this time.

Will start to fit them once i have bought a omex or emerald ecu to run them

that exhaust looks really good. were you get your boxes from? did you buy all the bends too? i need to quieten mine down.

[stef205 92 1 Cars]

Yeah bought it all I used a 5x12 middle box and 6x 14 rear box but I need to quieten mine down abit.

Love that tailpipe design

[stef205 92 1 Cars]

I tried to make it standard ish looking, I think i will change the tip to a 2.5" as the tip is only tacked on at the moment. As for sound it's lovely fair bit of induction noise.

Can't believe they tested your car How come they're retesting it?

 

Nice fabrication on the new exhaust

[stef205 92 1 Cars]

Funny enough I've got back from work to find that they won't be testing it at the time that was arranged with them. They said that they would let me know. The trouble is is that I live in a small town and I don't think they have anything better to do!

[stef205 92 1 Cars]

yesterday we took the exhaust down and decieded to wrap the exhaust

just waiting on a exhaust bung for the tip to make it less loud for the old bill.

looks like the plod have a boring time of things where you live? why do they never do what they should be doing ie catching criminals and protecting the public when instead they spend their time making revenue for the government from law abiding motorists!!! is it any wonder we all hate them? rant over! nice car by the way! lol what have you done with the 2nd gti that you mentioned at the start? is it past saving?

[welshpug 1,661]

law abiding motorists

 

 

if you were law abiding the traffic police wouldn't have any reason to stop you

[stef205 92 1 Cars]

That gti was sold to be honest it was a wreck, I've told the police when Peugeot make a standard exhaust for a 205 with a gti6 lump then I will put it on

i dont agree with you at all welsh pug even though i am completely legal and so is my car i have been stop checked and had my time wasted many many times! thats why i wrote my honest opinion!

[stef205 92 1 Cars]

I wasn't checked by a traffic copper it was a pcso and local copper, they don't have anything better to do. The town is a ghost town this time of year. They've stopped me in the past for my nitro rc trucks asking if I had insurance! They take piss

[stef205 92 1 Cars]

Not much up date but may be adding a 3rd box to the exhaust under the boot. But I was stopped today by a plain white Bmw undercover police. Got out the car for them to say that they were letting me know that my exhaust was shooting flames haha

Very interesting read mate! Car looks amazing

[stef205 92 1 Cars]

thanks mate

[stef205 92 1 Cars]

Ive done abit more in the last few days finished the 1.9 gearbox and also change the stub axles as they were to short, but on removable we found this

Slightly bent

Also having a 3rd box made for the exhaust to sit under the boot floor as still having noise issues, having some kind of chamber put in the box.

[stef205 92 1 Cars]

I picked up the new box today that i had made 18x10x5" so fairly big

 

 

Just need to order a few bends and get it in

[welshpug 1,661]

Don't quite get why you're struggling to get the noise levels down on a standard engine

[stef205 92 1 Cars]

police want it under 90db not 100db like trackdays, 100 is twice as much as 90db

[GLPoomobile 958]

looks like the plod have a boring time of things where you live?

 

You should take a trip to Lyme Regis some time. Wicker man siiiiir?

 

Could be worse though. Branscombe

still shouldn't be that loud, maybe your boxes just aren't big enough,

[stef205 92 1 Cars]

i have a 5x14" round centre and a 6x12" round rear box, police have always been the same round here.

[welshpug 1,661]

tiny boxes!

[stef205 92 1 Cars]

Still its 94-95db at the moment
