Evening fellow T-brickers!
I need ya'lls help as I consider a new arrangement for a 3" Exhaust system for my 16 valve turbo. What I want is a throaty idle but very quiet when cruising. Letting the motor rev out shouldn't make a fart can impression, rather just sound a bit more aggresive than the stock system. Main objective of my build is a fully stock looking oldtimer that does not boast, but only hints at high horsepower.
What I am currently doing is matching up a 3" cosworth T3 housing flange to a 5" 200 cell metal cat. After the cat I want to split the pipes from 76mm down to 60mm using a full-through silencer like this.
Afterwards I'd have two 60mm axle bends going parallel into a second silencer finished off with stock like twin s-pipes. Easier said with a picture than in words, so here's a quick rendering model of what I'm thinking.
Going with two smaller diameter over-axle bends will give me the most clearance to the axle, but I can't imagine how it'll all sound with split pipes from a single source. Will I just be losing definition of the exhaust impulses at idle and still just have a loud system, or will I be as quiet at speed as I hope and still have a throaty note at idle?
If we got any experienced exhaust builders in here, I'd really appreciate your input!!!
