Wdid? Went to Santa pod for street nationals, saw 2 cars running 9 seconds or less! Street legal too as that's their club rules eh scary! Didn't run myself as there were lots of queues and delays but I intend to go back soon need to race my mates corsa, general opinion is I'd win but not by much so it has to be tried!

It's what they use at Kwik Fit, they use the grade below. I used their stuff and it sealed air tight almost instantly.

Paper? xD!

I did buy an actual gasket for the head to mani I wouldn't trust just instant gasket!

Going for a quieter/MOT legal setup then?

thought i,d try it i always used gungum on the N/A mani,s, but the tubby always blew it out after a while i hav,nt heard any blows yet (3 or 4 weeks) but i,ll be able to check how well they sealed when i take it off tomorrow

 

[frank]

Yep plenty of material

depending on how much your block was decked, you might have some liner still uncovered eh ? (the top of the liner is radius-ed )

 

[l_jonez]

3mm skim, one liner was replaced because of some damage and they all measure the same so Im guessing its gone past the radius :-/

 

[skymera]

Going for a quieter/MOT legal setup then?

Yeah. I really cannot be bothered with worrying about my MOT.
The 421 was nice just because I had one but personally it wasn't worth my time or effort for such little gain.

I'm not keen on the loud rasp brought on by the 4-2-1 either.

And I remember rightly that my timing chain was much quieter on startup with standard mani and a cat, maybe a back pressure thing ?

Got my hacksaw ready to cut my 4 branch off next week

chain rattle is more than likley oil pressure at the chain tensioner or lack of if its rattling

 

[skymera]

Indeed. Lack of pressure when starting, but it's more audible inside the car with the 4-2-1 and decat, I know it sounds mad.

Sounded quieter in the car. Resonation through hollow pipes maybe, hm?

Lack of flexible joint

 

[skymera]

Lack of flexible joint

Could be, it's totally rigid which is no doubt part of the reason for the pipe starting to flake away, along with a long, hard life.

Going back to standard setup with original bolts in the downpipe with the springs for a bit of "give".

definatley chain?

 

[skymera]

definatley chain?

Without a doubt. Always had a noisy chain and it's slowly got worse.
But you never used to be able to hear it rattle on start up with a standard exhaust.

When I fitted the 4-2-1 it was noticeably loud inside the car, I guess resonation and as Enuo said, too rigid.

mine got worse over time might not have anything to do with exhaust might just be coincidence
