VisaGTi16v 1 Posted January 18, 2007 I have one of their Grp N ones on my Mi16 equiped Visa and I bought it off Ebay. Nice quality etc, 96db at 4500rpm from 1 metre so well inside all noise test limits for my sprints. Unsure if it changed power at all but it made 168bhp on my old exhaust which had a larger exit but couple of mm smaller pipe going into the start of the silencer where I think it was strangling it a bit.

GLPoomobile 958 Posted January 19, 2007 The twin box one is the Group A. It is louder than the Group N, yes. IIRC it is above the acceptable levels to be used on track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,656 Posted January 19, 2007 if youre after a quiet but well performing exhaust an Arvin o.e item or a custom built stainless steel system is your best option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VisaGTi16v 1 Posted January 19, 2007 Omp Grp N for my Visa GTi is ~50mm tailpipe, I have no other silencers boxes just a straight through exhaust from the Mi16 lump and its 96db at 4500rpm measured at 1 metre which is easily inside most track day limits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPGTi 2 Posted January 19, 2007 I have the grp N OMP with 2 silencers on my road rally car. 1.9 8v . In noise test it is always around 92db at 3/4 max rpm. The best thing is that the silencers are small, don't hang as low as the oem and are easier to add skid plates to. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilgie 16 2 Cars Posted January 22, 2007 I have the single box Group A (63mm) which was too loud for the track I go to, so I had to install a Simons centerbox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
