Stainless quiet pack V vintage speed

Which is the quietest? Has anyone experienced both on their van?

 

My Turbo Thomas quiet pack is one of the noisiest exhausts I have ever had the pleasure of shouting over.

 

My JK stainless makes a right racket. Loudest thing on the van.

 

The term “quiet pack” is a bit misleading isn’t it… but vintage cheese exhausts are bit shouty at revs as well aren’t they…. And the gaskets fall apart in no time… hmmm

 

Many years ago I had a twin quiet pack which seemed very serene. Unhappily it was made by the empys & lasted for about five minutes. I replaced it with a Bluebird SS header & a Supertrapp which was OK until the discs blew out, I replaced it with the TT item above. The silencer has been on for almost ten years & the manifold the thick end of twenty.

 

Quiet pack == euphemism

 

Vintage speed is a tad loud tbh looks nice but has small dog syndrome

 

I’ve got vintage speed on mine and it’s a quiet as a mouse … until I start her up

 

If you want a quiet silencer fit an ernst standard silencer. Decent quality and should last. If you want one with a bit of a grunt fit a Vintage speed

 

I would go standard every time if it was me, but the owner doesn’t like to see a rusty silencer under the bumper, which is fair enough. The ideal scenario would be a standard silencer made of stainless..

It seems everyone is out of stock of vintage speed exhausts at the moment anyway

 

Has he/she got a stock engine?

 

CSP?

VS look great, and some of them at TE sound really good, but, to me, they have a weird connection for the heaters

 

Second mortgage?

 

Don't start, that's a sore point

 

Nice kit…but the prices

 

Yes, but, in reality, better than monkey metal, and, in real terms, probably what we used to pay for stuff 20 odd years ago, and it actually lasted.

 

Are they still available.....usual suspects don't claim to be Ernst.

 

It’s about 5 years since I purchased one so not sure if they are still available.
Just checked purchase history it was from JK in 2017, but they may have changed supplier since then.

 

Yes, Boggo

 

I’m sure someone does make a stainless stock exhaust.
