ok heres my confusing problem front of car:yes noisy but notmuch

Back of car :exhaust sound gives u earache

all the joints are fine rubbers and everything and there is also sound deadening on the floor what could be wrong :S

[Telejmp]

Even without sound deadening I dont think it should deffening, are you sure it doesnt have hole, or bad joint somwhere? Im only guessing, I dont know much about cars yet. Im sure someone will help you soon,

Is it the normal exhaust for your car, or a specialist/aftermarket one?

it sounldnt be that loud, i get most of the noise from the front(solid front subframe mountings) its only anouing on long drives. though my exhaust it loud too, can be herd up 2 a mile away

[siggy]

What exhaust have you got?

Check the exhaust is not fouling the subframe

Are the mountings the original ones and have you kept the rubber mounts ?
an exhast solid mounted to the boot floor is extreemly loud as it reverberates through the whole car .

my old mini with the bike can on, had no back seats and a hole in the panel the back seats sit on, it was very very noisy without the seats in, i put them in to sell it and it quietened it down no end! but check all the joints on the zorst and make sure its rubber mounted, because as already said, its loud!

[Bluemini]

Like steve said, have a look under the seat and see if there are any holes in it, normaly around were the seat meets the arch.

Other than that, jump in mine and I'll show you what loud is!! :cheese:

[Sutty01]

gladly if we ever meet lol ill ask my dad to check

[stevenford_uk]

just for the record, mine wasn't rot. and it was in the middle of the panel, big drill holes, looks like towbar mountings!!!

[Sutty01]

the old man says that hell put in more soundeadening and anti vibration stuff


Tis all sealed
no holes
rubberbushed


its an rc40 with no cat
2 silencers
and the new manifold
all from stage 1 kit

A twin box RC 40 should be nice and quiet, even with the seats out.
