Anyone know of the easiest way to get the baffles out of an RC40?

There are no baffles in an RC40, its straight through On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

A resonance silencer has baffles. These baffles create chambers that deflect the pressure waves towards the resonance chamber which is sized for the correct frequency. This effectively 'cancels out' the noise. These types of silencer create back pressure which is undesireble on high performance engines, but not detrimental to the engines operation.

As Paul asked before, Why do ou want to do this??? This is not normal  Well, as i said id like it to be abit louder, its an old exhaust which i wont be using when my turbo motor is in, which hopefully wont be too far away. So i just wanted to make the car sound louder for the time being as im bored of it. I wont be doing any trackdays or anything in it while its n/a so im not bothered about that. Thanks for clearing up that its not baffles inside. Any ideas how i get the other stuff out? |

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

I have the Playmini 2" backbox. I had that with a cat converter and a mid section silencer, wasnt what you would call loud, but it still set car alarms off without trying. I removed the cat and the mid section silencer, and it then was LOUD! Just because it makes more noise doesnt mean it goes any faster

But whatever i think ill get ben to cut it and we'll take them out that way and see what its like. Im gutted that taking them out wont make it faster though.. |

To disquise my Straight stainless exhaust i slid the outer of an RC40 exhaust over the top, inside is 2 sections filled with horse hair shit. Just rip it all out. I did this yonks ago, it does make the exhuast note throatier. 1/4 Mile 14.3secs 96Mph Terminal 10psi of boost.

Ahh righty nice one, so does it just burn the fibres behind the meshed inner part of the silencer? |

Does that honestly work? I doubt it personally but am open to correction.

I think he means that by just burning the fibre wadding out it would make it louder, leaving the stainless mesh cylinder in place. |

I can't see that you would be able to set the wadding on fire no matter what you did to it. It is designed to live in an exhaust system after all..........
