Your is obviously not Apexi then is it!!??GPXXX wrote:i reckon that marketing spill is a load of crap, coz my silencer does sweet f***-all in terms of performance... i can definitely feel much more surge in torque without the silencer fitted. i feel my car revs freely without the silencer fitted and believe it or not i also get greater fuel economy. it pulls better at all gears at any given speed but the only drawback is it's noise...

That's what the marketing spill from Apexi says anyways.rxboy wrote:Get a silencer fitted. It might reduce your overall power gain from the exhaust though.
The only logical reason that i can think of is that there is significantly less back pressure, hence the engine has to work less harder to generate horsepower.
Just playin with ya..........
