JRADSTRX Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Hey guys.. just a quick question.. on a std exhaust for a ke70 with a 4k it has a middle resonator and end muffler.. i took the rear muffler off and its fukn loud.. why is that?.. and i think it needs the flange gasket replace(manifold to pipe gasket).. in doing that will it quieten things up? a little bit.. cheers Quote
Mcrackn Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 I reckon it's loud cos you took the muffler off :dance: Quote
Evan G Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 I reckon it's loud cos you took the muffler off :y: bloody well said, excuse me Mcrackn are you a rocket scientist by any chance? because i took my fan belt off and the fan isnt spinning anymore? can you please help me?? LOL :yes: :dance: Quote
kiahn Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 haha^^ the resonator does almost nothing to quiten down the exhaust, gives it a deeper tone. replacing the flange thing wont do much either, maybe you should get a muffler you can get different size ones to make different noise levels Quote

JRADSTRX Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) thankz guys.. i thought it was just that i took the muffler off.. ill prob just get a hot dog and a tip and stick it in the spot of the muffler.. it screams it tits off under full noise :dance: cheers p.s. thanks seabiscuit for sticking up for me.. i know it was a stupid question.. but it had to b asked to confirm Edited July 13, 2009 by JRADSTRX Quote
seabiscuit Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 ill prob just get a hot dog and a tip and stick it in the spot of the muffler.. A hot dog is a resonator... you want a sports (straight-thru) muffler. Can buy them at any exhaust shop. Make sure you buy one for the right size pipe! Quote
kiahn Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 goodluck finding a sports muffler for that size pipe, maybe a motorbike muffler for a 1600cc bike or something, can get them hell cheap off ebay and they actualy look quite good and most are droopy tip also this is the sort of thing I'm talking bout: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Black-Carbon-Fibre-...93%3A1|294%3A50 Quote
rjenman Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 this is the most awesome question ever asked about a KE70 Quote
rjenman Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 just a suggestion, sometimes you can figure out what something does by its name a "muffler" muffles Quote

If you don't have anything helpful to say you probably shouldn't say anything at all! sorry mate my inner child took over my fingers :dance: Quote
rob83ke70 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 if you are running a standard engine, get a triple flow rear muffler and run no bigger than a 2" tip. It will sound nice enough to get attention but will not be too loud and you won't get booked for it. You DO need to run a muffler or else it WILL be TOO loud!! Robert. Quote
Jimpoole Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 HAHA this is classic. Me and my mates often disconnect the flange after the resonator and cable tie the rest to the underneath of the car and go for a drive. Gets a lot of attention from the cops, especially when you go roaring past Newcaste station. :dance: Sounds like shit on full acceleration, when you are coming down a hill it pops and gurgles and sounds great. :yes: Quote
rob83ke70 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 traditionally you use one of the bolts to bolt the rear exhaust flange to the front flange but off centre so it isn't hooked up. makes it sound like a saddlefrigger exhaust.... not something I'd be proud of... if you want a nice sounding exhaust, run a muffler. I suppose it all depends on your definition of nice though. Robert. Quote
kiahn Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 yeh like if you want deep droney noise get a large muffler, ive got a RO racing muffler 2" in 3" out and it sounds beautiful on hard accel, nice and quiet on cruise and has race sounding backfire when deccelerating. try find a muffler that you like then just get a few pipe bends from a exhaust place and make your own tip with a welder and a hacksaw Quote
