so had my blitz nur spec r fitted to my03 blob 2 weeks ago and tbh im totally unimpressed.
have read loads of posts from people saying how loud it is but tbh mines isnt overly loud.
i was expecting alot louder tbh.
i do around 60 miles to and from work on the motorway and its fine, can hear my "classic fm" on the radio no probs without turning the volume up to crazy levels.
sorry this was just a general rant as i was expecting it to be stupid loud and was a wee bit let down when i can still hear the wife moaning at me in the passenger seat when i was fully expecting this exhaust to save me and drown out her voice haha.

 

Was it new? If so, give it some time to gain its voice! I had the 'S' and it was plenty loud enough.

 

but it used. around a year old and in excellent condition.

 

Is yours decatted? My blitz Nur Spec R sets car alarms off when I park. Sounds like pure thunder, it's good but only is small doses, On the Country roads Its nice let it bark, I have a bung fitted whilst in towns, it's not worth annoying other people and giving the scooby a bad rep.

 

no i still have all cats as i just cant afford to buy decats and remap it due to santa time n having 4 kids. i was just expecting it to be louder. feelin pretty let down now.

 

Mines fully decatted, might be the differance

 

is your center section resonated? if so then remove it

 

That's why mate full decat that bad boy

 

I dont think there that loud not compared to my mates cobra system

 

dunno if it is or not . would you be able to tell just by looking at it ? heres a wee link to it before i fitted it http://gyazo.com/7a621c752cb76111c27aef957d923ccc

 

Fitted mine last week and very pleased with it but I only have decat in middle!

 

That's not the same as mine, your rear box has a resonated box where it meets
The centre pipe, mine is also straight pipe with no bends

 

is yours for a newage ?

 

If you want to sell it I'm happy to take it off you

 

Widen your scope chap,a classic will fit with one hanger unused that's all

 

Iv just had one fitted to my bug JDM with no cat full 3" back now my ears bleed just get it decanted and that will sort it right out

 

obv i will be keeping it but now just need to save up for up/down pipes etc then remap.

 

swear i read that somewhere! been trying to find it again to confirm, ill look for a classic one also

 

jimbob i do plan to decat it but its the cost that hurts just now as id obv need to get it mapped so no point gettin it mapped untill ive got more upgrades done to justify the mapping cost
.

 

I find mine not too loud either, but the difference is, it's loud and actually sounds good. Also the newage sound proofing is better than you think, open a window or two..

Decat definitely helps mind you..

I love mine though

 

it may sound kinda loud outside (never let anyone else drive my car so dunno) but i was expecting burst eardrums from the way others were talking about it . what do you think would be worthwhile upgrades to merrit a remap ?

 

Decat

 

haha. tbh i was hopin for better options haha. whats the usual ? decat uppipe, sti downpipe, sti intercooler & pinks ? anythin im missing for basic power upgrades before a remap ?

 

Overated coke can sound tbh, there are other scoob alternatives out there that sound a lot better just by being not so damn loud. If you want loud decat your system and remove resonator box on nur spec

 

Or fit a rcm team ice system

 

I have an nurspec r on the RB5, with headers and downpipe etc and it would blow the ears off you....at 80mph its serious loud and annoying!!

Also sets off every car and shop alarm in the local main street if you give it any throttle...get a downpipe and headers on and you'll be laughing (for a while until the novalty wears off lol).

 

Do not remove the resonator unless you want it to sound rubbish. The resonator in the Nur Spec R is there to tune the sound, not to make it quiet. Removing it makes it raspy and nasty.

If you want loud loud loud then yes, full decat and team ice. Even then you may not think it's that loud until it's on boost, as turbos do a good job of numbing the noise!

 

it does sound amazing. proper burbbles (ano its not even a word) love the sound . my point was that its nowhere near as loud as i was expecting thats all.

 

sake man. i was only pointing out that i felt it wasnt that loud. now yous have me searching the net for headers n de cats haha. this owning a scoob malarky is damn right expensive n addictive haha thanks guys..

 

+1

If you want loud.
