If thats whos car i think it is, yeh its pretty loud lol

looks pritty st8 forward any one els got any pics of other designs ? i does any one know what it would sound like with heaps of bends

Just try it out man Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

check out what happned to this turbo after a month of dose pipe. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

[quote=david85dc]check out what happned to this turbo after a month of dose pipe. yeh i had the same prob but it was my stupid 'old' mechanic on his dyno in his filthy workshop not running an intake pipe at all. and then he tryed telling me some fibers from the inside of my pod, (the pod he supplied me 5000kms befor this) had some how got sucked through into the turbo i did nt buy it so he paid for a new comp wheel and i payed for the rest of the rebuild and that whole turbo only lasted 10,000kms till i changed it due to very loud howling noises

ahaha try it and see how long it last, or stockings like my mate did, it lasted about an hour b4 it sucked it in, and bent the blades

what about a breathable paper element held in shape with fine mesh. you could even make pod shaped... and make it ridged to increase the surface area... i reckon that would work well. someone should make them.

okay time for me to break it down... Dose Pipe Technology 101 okay first of all, let it be known that i am 100% serious about everything i write in this thread, it is not a joke, and yes, i really am that bored to experiment with doses and dose pipes. and secondly, forget about the intake practicality/temperature/whatever... we're not after optimal performance here, were muzzas, so we want a loud ass dose.. having said that, you have a few options... 90 Degree Bend Pipes Decent dose, medium pitch, medium length, definition, delay... This is what most people use, and it gives a decent dose, with a pod filter on the end, the negatives of this are that its vulnerable to bumps (and Australian roads are horrific at best) and it will also fill up with water, which may or may not get sucked through into your turbski. And water cannot be compressed.. i dunno what problems it may or may not cause, but i'd rather not find out. Straight Pipe with mesh This is what i use, and you have two options here... #1 - 17cm long 2.5" pipe with mesh on the end. This gives the classic loud as all f**k high pitched, screaming, perfectly defined dose... It's the muztek classic, as i like to call it. Frequently heard down chapel st. Awesome. #2 - 15cm long 3" pipe welded onto a 4cm long 2.5" pipe rolled and welded to the 3"... This gives a dose an octave lower than the 2." straight pipe, and the advantage of this one is that the 2.5" section does not need to be clamped onto the mouth of the turbo with silicon hose and hose clamps, it just slides right on over it, and wont move. Magical. I like this setup because i can quickly swap dose pipes over for different occasions... The 3" one is not as dramatic and attention seeking as the 2.5" one, and I use it for day to day use. The 2.5" one i keep for cruises and special occasions. Aluminium Gutter Piping I have also experimented with using a piece of 3" aluminium 90 degree bend gutter piping, and with either a pod or mesh on the end, it works really well. It gives a dose an octave lower than the 3" straight pipe, and doesnt sound like a screaming sound at all, but rather a deep, bassy, doberman-barking kind of sound... woof woof woof woof. Very intimidating, very ballsy. Small piece of straight pipe To further raise the pitch of the dose, you can experiment with smaller pieces of 2.5" straight pipe. In the past, ive used 10cm, 5cm, and 3cm pieces individually, and each gives a different sound. Lovely. Different options in air filters/mesh If you have no power steering in your vl, then you will have no problem fitting a pod to a straight dose pipe, and will have plenty of room to run a 90 degree pipe to wherever you please. But one problem alot of people have when trying to make a dose pipe fit is that the powersteering gear only gives them a MAX of 20 cm in which to have a dose pipe and air filter setup, which is nowhere near enough to have a nice dose pipe, and a pod filter. I spent some time screwing around with pod filters and stuff to find a smaller alternative, and came up with the mini pod, or c**k pipe as it has been named... heres a pic of it, its basically a cut down, modified pod filter, secured to the dose pipe with some silicon, hose, and 2 hose clamps. it protects the turbo and motor from dust, dirt, rocks, birds, small children and animals that may find their way in through the mesh. alot of people find that having a pod or some kind of filter on the end of the dose pipe sacrifices the clarity and quality of the dose itself, but ive found that using this kind of filter keeps the volume and pitch intact and keeps the dose hecktick uleh. other things you can use are.... metal mesh from a kitchen sieve - works well, i use it sometimes if you have an old cheap pod ready for the bin - the mesh of that is superb any other mesh made of a material that will not melt under extreme temperatures! remember the heat, kids! ive heard of people using stockings.. well theyre made of nylon, and they melt! even if you can find pure cotton ones, the henia of them is too high, and because there isnt much surface area covering the pipe, your car will run like crap, and struggle to make boost efficiently because not enough air is being sucked through. also, you cant stretch a piece of pod filter paper across the mouth of the pipe, because again, the surface area is not enough to suck enough air. the mini pod like the one shown above is perfect. i think that'll do for now, and hopefully this will stop people pming and msning me asking me "BrO how du I geT dA hEktiK VL sOunD omGz?" enjoy Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hahaha thats brilliant.

redVLTjet im very imprressed mate, u know ur dozing

Gold redVLTjet!...Good read very amusing. Do you carry a pack around in the boot with all your different pipes and fittings chop and change to suit the mood? Or you settled on that C**k pod?

hahaha nice dixie
