NC Exhaust Selection ... Same Old!
Posted: Thu Jan 13, 2011 8:59 pm
Hi Guys,
I'm looking to purchase a system for my late 05 NC 2.0L.
I'd like to get a system with a nice purr and deep growl when you punch it and with no droning on long trips or crusing at high speed.
After researching forums/youtube & product descriptions I'm tending toward a combo:
1 - Roadstersport Mid Pipe / Roadstersport Q muffler
2 - Roadstersport Mid Pipe / Racing Beat Power Pulse muffler
3 - Racing Beat pre-silenced Mid Pipe / Racing Beat Power Pulse muffler (apparently though after talking with RB my third option is not viable due to it being a RHD car (Australian) apparently there is a length issue with the mid pipe and their 4-1 Header is required to be purchased also which I've been told will then allow it to mate up) ?
I have a few queries regarding these combos I'm hoping you guys might help me with ...
Q1 - Will my RHD be an issue with either combination 1 or 2? (I believe not due to the mid pipes slip joint?)
Q2 - Will either combination lead to the droning mentioned previously?
Q3 - Does the Roadstersport mid require longer secondary O2 sensor wire?
Q4 - How does the engine check light issue with the mid pipe work? why does it seem to be a problem swapping the O2 sensor from one pipe to another, when it doesn't know the difference between the 2.
Appreciate any advice/knowledge. Thanks!
Luke.
