Exhaust
« on: January 16, 2015, 05:51:47 pm »
Hi,

Just fitted the BCS sport TBE with sport cat.

Fired her up and she barely sounds louder than stock?

Are they all like this?

Is it the powervalve?  If so the idea is that they're pretty quiet when cruising but when you hit boost they sound awesome, take it for a drive   :driver:

That's probably why then, the sports cat will give better flow but with 2 boxes it won't be much louder than standard.

The sports cat will be fine, it's the cat - back section (where the silencers are) that you need to change. BCS will probably be able to sort you out with a different one that will be louder, I've heard good things about their customer service so they should be able to help you

It won't be LOUD.
Try dropping your back seats and going for a drive, will sound a bit more like what it sounds like from the outside. :happy2:
