cactusjackslade 146 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hi fellow vr lovers,I currently have a miltek cat back system and cda air box fitted. Sounds very nice under load but I would like to get abit more of the vr burble note through, I was wondering if anyone out there has found a noticeable difference to the exhaust note after fitting a decat pipe? I've searched the forum but not found much about sound before and after.... Cheers in advance. Link to post Share on other sites
Surreyvr6 199 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I've ran an exhaust with a decat and currently running a miltek with the cat on, I've not yet ran the same exhaust with the cat on and off so can't give an accurate comparison, but i deffinately noticed a difference running an exhaust with the cat on again, deffinately sounded like it was missing something, a lot more of a softer sound, but with it being a different exhaust it's hard to say how much down to that, can't wait to get my decat back on, on the miltek though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk cactusjackslade 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I really like the sound of the miltek. Not too loud or raspy..... A nice deep factory tuned sound. I've watched videos on YouTube and some people have got the vr rumble coming through really well.... Mabe someone will be along soon who have recently fitted a decat pipe and could give us more info.. Link to post Share on other sites
Surreyvr6 199 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 As soon as mines running again and through it's mot I'll be wacking the decat back on so I'll do a before and after vid Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk cactusjackslade 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I know full well what you mean, mine doesn't do the warble at all and I see other vids and theirs do it really obviously. I put it down to the cat too. cactusjackslade 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 It's a Jetex cat back, I drove with the windows down tonight and I can catch a glimmer of warble every now and then lol, most or the time it just sounds like a smooth in line 6 though. Still sounds good and everyone always turns and looks so it must sound good lol Link to post Share on other sites
EnthusiastOwned 7 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I found mine warbled are burbled more with the cat in.With a de-cat it sounded more raw, metallic and raspy. It lost the deep resonating sound. A 6-branch however really amplified the sound it made. In a good way. De-cat or not. Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like you will have yours in before I get the chance to refit mine! For warble the best set up was when I got my current vr it had the cat on, scorpion back box and the rear silencer removed and a pipe welded in it's place, but it was way to loud for me but did warble lovely.

Ben Moody 0 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 mines fiited wiv decat and full scorpion system and the burble is only heard very slightly when comin down hard thru the gears. lovely sound tho the rest of the time but i think it will have to b a shiny new manifold to get the full burble burble burble Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalklol yes but its not going to help my burble warble sitting on my bed.... i struggle for time to fit the parts i have brought to the car.... i will soon need another shed to put them in as the one is currently overflowing. and thanks guys i overlooked the 6 branch manifolds only thing is im hoping to go turbo in the near future so not sensible to invest in one at the mo...
