TDI 3" exhaust

[Fez]

Db reading with a mani/decat would be awesome too. 👍🏻

 

[solid-fabrications]

Yep that's the idea. Will do a full list of options, photos and videos. Bit odd this is all happening on a tdi exhaust thread though... 🤔

I'm very interested in buying one of your 3" dolphin tip systems Alan. I was wondering whether you can build a system with an external drone box built onto the back box to keep the noise levels track friendly on a supercharged car?

 

[solid-fabrications]

I could but my current super silent 3 inch is already track friendly without needing a separate drone box.

 

[Indi]

Problem is currently I have a Fujitsubo RM01A which is one of the quiter systems even that gets black flagged on some tracks. Supercharged cars are louder than N/A at high rpm so would your super silent still be friendly?

 

[solid-fabrications]

Yes it should still be fine as I use real big boxes.

 

[Indi]

That's perfect then mate I'm down for the group buy

 

[solid-fabrications]

OK got myself a nice black dc5. Ready to rock and roll...

 

[Honda-atr]

Great news! Can't wait.
I already ordered mine :xgrin:

 

[SmudgerByName]

Keeping an eye on this. Really interested to see what you can do mate. I'll be tempted on a full system once the time comes round

Just to add my experience Alan's exhaust are a1. Took my Dc5 done to him last summer and he did a wicked job, a few of my friends with ed30's recommend him and it was a good shout.

I'm sure you guys will love his exhausts, would have kept mine but needed a different set up.. kinda miss it now lol

Curious to know why, too loud?

I'm very interested but holding out for db readings to seal the deal

I'm slowly thinking of changing my Buddyclub, as although I love it. It's bloody noisy.

When you say you use big boxes, what's the restriction of flow like. I know far less than you Alan I'm sure!
Basically my car is mapped to my current system. But at 110db, obviously doesn't make track limits. I've tracked it with an oem system, and it was noticeablely slower to pick up, and felt slower overall.

Ideally, I'd have it mapped to the new system. But I'm undecided if I'd be better off buying a new system. A new system just for track.
Or if you could get me with in limits with bolt in boxes, that wouldn't make it feel like the oem did. That I could change in and out as I saw fit.

Having the wife in the car, as well as our newborn (He's not been in the car yet, due to the harshness of the ride lol) i didn't want too much noise so changed systems.

Was a perfect system, maybe when he's older i'll get another one

The boxes are all straight through. I use a large and long middle box as well as a larger and longer back box than the one I used on darren's.

I have spent many years developing the ep3 3inch system as that is my best seller. I have done a ton of testing on my own car to come up with a track friendly and ear friendly system.

The best thing about the dc5 us the amount of space it has compared to the ep3. Therefore I am able to make a great flowing system whilst still keeping it family friendly.

All the boxes areally completely straight through but still allow you to pass track days.

Just as a gauge, a customer of mine tested his ep3 manifold and 3 inch car back at brands and that came up at 92db@5500rpm.

A 2.5inch version was 89db@5500rmp, again at brands hatch.

The dc5 with the largest boxes will be a touch quieter than that.

Hope that clears a few questions.

Can you make a oval system similar to the K Tune one?

 

[solid-fabrications]

I have been asked that more than once. The main issue is getting ahold of good oval tubing. I will have another look into it but I did make one before and it was a real pain to make.

That's great Alan, cant wait to order mine as soon as you're ready to start making these off the shelf. One more question can you still do the titanium pie cut dolphin tip?

 

[solid-fabrications]

Yes I can still make the titanium dolphin tail tips. Also I'm ready whenever people are ready.

I'm currently in the market to replace my Spoon 4-2 and 2-1 section. I am torn between the Buddy club racing header and holding out for these 'off the shelf' manifolds from Solid Fabrications.

Is there a thread dedicated to the development of these where I can ask a few questions regarding the manifold or will that all come once the jig to reproduce etc, etc is complete?
