Exhaust noise's

[Cle]

What sounds better mild steel or stainless steel ?

Also why does s/s pop blue flames and mild steel normal red/orange flames ? lol

Anyone have video's of mild steel and s/s ?

I prefer the noise of a stainless exhaust, I had a magnex stainless to replace the ashley mild on my nova, the engine not was alot different the ashley exhaust was very raspy where as the magnex had a much nicer tone.

Mild usually has a raspier sound, but comparing different system designs, from various manufacturers, made of differing materials isnt a fair comparison.

Asking which is better is like saying which is better? Tea or Coffee?

Stainless shouldnt rust. Therefore is better from a longevity point of view.

i love the noise of stainless, mates nova loon has a 1.6 8v gsi engine with a weber l32/34 carb cam 4 branch and fill stainless, sounds amazing imo

But you could cut the middle box out of it & make it sound crap (IMO) so it's down to the design & type of silencer boxes as much as the material.

aye its a three box system similar to magnex iirc. think it was made be powerflow but not to sure on that.

think i will be using a magnex 3 box system when i rebuild my car in the end of the year....

Just we've been making new exhausts for the 6r4 for the rally next weekend and the old ones were rusty mild steel then we made some s/s ones that poped blue flames now we have made some clean mild steel ones, The reason the s/s ones were taken off cause they were to big.
