Better Centre Exhaust
Hi,

Im looking for a new centre section for my exhaust for my 90. I dont want a straight through pipe, i want something with some silencer in it but one with better gas flow than the original would be good. I have go a decat pipe fitted and there is nothing wrong with the rear section on my exhaust fitted now so im not looking to replace that. I just want something that will bolt in where my existing centre box is.

Many thanks.

Pete.

Pretty sure Alive do a centre section with a cherry-bomb type silencer just to take the edge off it? I had a totally straight through pipe on my old 90 and it was fookin noisy, inside and out

I have a cherry bomb type mid box replacement on my td5 90. I got it off ebay but looks the same as the alive one, can't be sure though.

I went for this as many reported plain straight through to be too noisy in a 90. The note from mine is amazing Shocked deep and loud with a bit of a warble / burble. It is not always noticeable from inside though which is good.

Downside, and i didnt expect this, is my fuel economy has taken a hit. But that might be because I like the sound??

Got mine from Gary at Alive, very happy with it, looked after me on the price as I'm on here, much better sound than just straight through.

Thanks steve, thats kind of what i was looking for, I want the better flow and the nicer note without the very loud noise you get with the straight through exhaust. What is the noise level like with the one with the slightly bigger than the rear box silencer fitted?

Thanks.

Pete.

Well Iv had mine on my truck since 2008 my truck was used as the jig to make them I can't complain about mine properly bolted together like he standard one if you wanted I'm quite happy for you to try the centre section I have I personally had it all without a tune and with only that centre section fitted wasn't that loud but when tuned was louder

If you local your welcome to try it ?
