hey,
I have just brought a twin exhaust boomstick which doesnt have a have a backbox!! and its extremely loud im not kidding. and my car is only a 1.2.
i was just wondering if anyone else got one and if so have you been pulled over by the police. ive heard its an mot failer which isnt a problem, but its just so loud im worried of getting pulled over.

if its loud enough to make you ask if its legal it probably isnt.

had straight thru on my 1.4, was fine up to 2k rpm then got stupid loud, soon altered it back :0)

emmauk88 · 04-10-2008, 18:27

its really loud when u first pull away, then it starts to quieten down to a low rumble past 60mph lol. how you been doing anyway, i miss my old slaughauto.
I will post video tomorrow of the loudness lol

im on about an exhaust here not a game or song lol. look on exhaustuk.co.uk and its called a boomstick EXHAUST.

If it's much much louder than a standard one, which i'd imagine it would be with no backbox and a name like 'boomstick', then it's illegal and you risk being pulled by the poolice.

drove past 4 cop cars today, and it was OK, but i did take my foot of accelerator lol, but then it got loud as it dropped gears lol.

pinkpyro · 04-10-2008, 20:52

Astraghoul · 04-10-2008, 20:56

you still have the original centre section on the car yes?

EY · 04-10-2008, 20:57

I want one!

emmauk88 · 04-10-2008, 21:07

yes still have original centre section, thats the one mines the twin 3". and its fooking loud im not kidding i even have head ache now. and only cost £79 including postage

Astraghoul · 04-10-2008, 21:38

shouldnt really be that loud if you still have the original centre on, unless the baffles in that are shot.

emmauk88 · 04-10-2008, 21:43

what baffles, pipe -> exit thats it. no baffles, no box its loud. i will get a video of it tomorrow and post it on here. not sure how u do that but i will work it out.

Astraghoul · 04-10-2008, 21:54

ang on a mo, manifold > front pipe > cat > centre section( with silencere) > back box ( original has silencer)

yours is same as above less rear silencer yes? or have you had a race pipe centre section fitted too?, if you havent it sounds like the centre silencer is fubar

emmauk88 · 05-10-2008, 17:34

here is a video of my boomstick, only a short video as it was chucking it down. sounds a bit crap on idle, but really gets going when you go through the gears, will get another video of it in motion soon.

Doesnt sound that loud...

pinkpyro · 05-10-2008, 17:42

If u can you should get one of it revving hard. just to give us an idea. i once got pulled for my big bore 4 lol copper said it had no baffles so it was illegal. And guess how he checked it. He put his asp up the pipe. What a ****. I ended up getting the chief copper guy round my house to explain to him and the other copper how an exhaust works. Then they cancelled the ticket. so i guess its just the cooper want to pick pn a modded motor and not the noise. You should be fine. From what i heard it's not ott loud.
