Changed EGR...Now I wait and See....READ LAST POST BIRDMAN! Reply #90 – January 24, 2007, 04:29:36 PM I've never seen an OPTIONLESS TC with leather before. I hope you're happy, because it honestly looks like the purple people eater was a much nicer car. If you don't want to be trading it again in 6 months, fix it RIGHT. You know, the first time.

Changed EGR...Now I wait and See....READ LAST POST BIRDMAN! Reply #92 – January 24, 2007, 05:15:27 PM Few..."technical" questions. Mainly to do with the exhaust.Question #1: The ler I put on occasionally hits the body of the car while driving and causes it to vibrate. I know where it'shiznitting, and there is a small gap between the ler and where it touches. I was about to put in small piece of Fiberglass insulation (the only thing I could think of which wouldn't burn or melt) in between the crack as to limit the vibration when driving. Is there anything better I can use that won't catch fire or melt?Question #2: The ler cut the noise level down quite a bit, but it's still too loud for my liking. Would running a pipe from the ler straight out the back reduce the noise level? As of now, the ler ends just before the rear axle, and no pipe comes out of it.(By the way, thanks for all the positive comments guys. I really do appreciate them. I AM happy with the car. My brown one was not much nicer.) Quote Selected

Pansy.I ran my car with no catback for months, my parents never complained about it being too loud, my girlfriend never complained, her parents didnt complain. Only got one complaint, and it was my girlfriends neighbor that was 70 something years old. Quote Selected

Changed EGR...Now I wait and See....READ LAST POST BIRDMAN! Reply #96 – January 24, 2007, 06:35:16 PM It can't be that loud. I drove mine for about 3 weeks for school with just manifolds and the pipes from the manifolds to the Y. Now unpleasent maybe but loud? Quote Selected
Changed EGR...Now I wait and See....READ LAST POST BIRDMAN! Reply #97 – January 24, 2007, 07:38:33 PM I run Layla all the time with NO exhaust at all (about a 2' long 3" downpipe, oh yeah) with the big roller cam and SC50 and it's loud, but not anything like my AMX (WITH lers!) or even the GTO. Ifit's THAT loud you may want to start checking the exhaust manifold/turbo/elbow/downpipe for leaks and bolt snugness. Don't forget the EGR. I HIGHLY recommend you save your money and put a REAL exhaust on the car ASAP. A nice 2.5" system with a quiet turbo-style ler(s) and tailpipe(s) will be sooo much nicer, quieter, and better for the car. Quote Selected
Changed EGR...Now I wait and See....READ LAST POST BIRDMAN! Reply #98 – January 24, 2007, 08:28:23 PM Well, what I have now is the Cat, about a 2 foot pipe running from it, then a clamped on ler and that's it. The ler has a very slight downward angle on it, and it stops right before the rear axle. I figure next pay check I'll head up to the Junk yard, rip off a ler from some really quiet car...like a lexus or something, and have it welded in with a tail pipe out the back. I figure having it welded in will eliminate any exhaust leaks and excess noise. Quote Selected
Changed EGR...Now I wait and See....READ LAST POST BIRDMAN! Reply #99 – January 24, 2007, 08:46:14 PM Junkyard ler? I can't be more than $20 - $30 for a correct NEW ler for the car. Next thing you know you'll be asking how to quiet the turbo noise. Quote Selected
Changed EGR...Now I wait and See....READ LAST POST BIRDMAN! Reply #100 – January 24, 2007, 09:36:14 PM I can't seem to find a cheap Quiet ler anywhere. It's all turbo lers, and fart cannons with silencers. I go to Checker or Autozone, and to get the stock ler, it's around $60. I know Midas would rip me off too. Doesn't anyone sell regular quiet lers anymore? Links anyone? Quote Selected

Changed EGR...Now I wait and See....READ LAST POST BIRDMAN! Reply #102 – January 24, 2007, 11:31:15 PM Well the thing is...I want quiet. I don't particularly care for the loudness of a 4cyl car, and am looking for near silence...or at least what the car sounded like off the factory floor. Where can I find that kind of ler?
