Exhaust silencers.

Anyone use one or have any opinions on them?

 

I have a silencer for my perrin twin tip. I use it on long road trips. It helps quite a bit but really puts a hurt on the power.

Certainly can't go wot while it is in.

 

What exactly happens when you do..?

creates to much back pressure takes away abilty to spool up

 

Holy shit. That is win.

 

Bad things. Imagine a tune for a 3" exhaust running with a 1.5" exhaust.

 

well if you run half open while driving through your neighborhood and no boost you should be OK

 

The only thing i can see happening is the turbo not spooling on on time and the car running rich.

Opens up under WOT.

 

NVM -- its very pricey.

 

silencers rattle like crazy at idle.

 

I rocked one for a few years because of 112 mile round trip commute. It hurt power (20hp to the wheels on the topspeed dyno) but it made the car way more livable.
