Lots of big silencers.
See trackdaynovas or dars project threads.

or a powerful engine on a standard exhaust
I found my old magnex exhaust to be quiet, couldnt comment on power gains as you porbably wouldnt notice much anyway.
What engine have you got?

Your local powerflow fitter should be able to make you a system to your specification including tailpipe design and noise level :thumb:

Ive just got a GTE Nova to break with an uprated German stainless, sounds the absolote nuts! Not loud at all but you can just tell its sporty! Its a "fox sportauspuff systeme"
A 3 box system is what your after.
I have Krobinsons NDZ Magnex System for my Nova and from memory it gave a Grumble, but not a Spaz 1.1 Paxo burnt out Razzle style noise, but a deep throaty grunt, then again, the 40s may have been a contributing factor. Its also a 3 box system.

Quiet enough that i wanted louder, driving normally you could just hear a small rumble, it did open up on full throttle but was still pretty quiet considering. Was only a 1.4mpi though. I had it on my 2ltr for about a week and cant remember it being very noisy then either
Sounds just what i want tbh.
wouldnt yours be better though? isnt it a 2 1/4 system?

Yes mate, but it was custom made to fit a 1.6 16v 4-1 manifold, so id rather not go cutting it up, and just sell it with the manifold complete....
