BuddyClub Spec II Silencer Issue

[DriftSpecial180]

So i put my silencer in my exhaust today, but i had to hammer it in (I used a soft rubber mallet). The issue...? Has anyone else had a really tight silencer like this? My concern is getting it out, what should i use to get it out?

I was thinking of taking off the exhaust and hammering it back out using a long pole, but a straight pole can't make it around the bends. :cry:

[johngriff]

hahah!

My silecner shot itself out of my spec II on the freeway when the bolt "auto loosened itself"

i love that exhaust

[Full-Lock]

get sound clips up asap...i want to hear it...

[TheSquidd]

My silencer rattled from being so loose in the Spec II, then fell out from auto loosening and some jackass stole it while I turned around to pick it up.

ASpec B II muffler, tight as hell silencer. I think ASpec sells a tool for silencer removal, its kind of a rigid coat hanger, a very long pole with a hook at the end, you hook around the back of the silencer and tug on it. You can probably fasten yourself one out of some form of metal or something.


Its just a long pole with a hook at the end. Or you can do what I do and remove it with pliers on the inside of the silencer lip and tug.

[Brian]

Mine is kind of loose too.
I'm sure it will just fall out one day.
oh well.

[DriftSpecial180]

maybe i'll just take out the holding screw and do a couple full throttle runs, maybe it'll push out :)

Was your guys' really hard to get it too?

audio clip with music over it.

[Gilboyto]

Someone should post up a clip of the buddy club with an SR motor, or whatever that way I can hear it! Cause I dont have my motor yet so I wont know what it sounds like!

[Gilboyto]

Ive heard that one above...but I wanna hear it without tires squealin lol
That, and that annoying squeaking BOV lol

theres also these clips. But it sounds completely different which makes me think theres a diff motor or somethin, although it is turboed

[johngriff]

oh, you want spec II on n/a ka?

There is a guy on streetfire w/ a "standing and reving" clip of his on a s14. Bone stock.

[The Riot Hero]

you may have accidentally dented the tip out of round. those exhausts are freaking AWESOME! i have them on my car, have a bunch of them in stock here at the shop too they sell fast and people are always psyched about them. they sound too good to put a silencer in hahaha.

[articdragon192]

That was an SR in the vid clip.

[Gilboyto]

Nah, I wanna hear one on a redtop SR20 lol. I can hear it in the google video one, but I wanted a clip from someone where I would know what other exhaust stuff they have, downpipe cat etc.

No the tip hasn't been hit. the problem is that the spec II tip tapers, from the 3" - 4" but gradually. The silencer however, its 4" all around (atleast thats what it looks like, and thats my theory on why it doesn't fit). If the silencer was tapered a little bit, i bet it would fit like a brown leather glove on OJ

[DriftSpecial180]

they sound too good to put a silencer in hahaha.

I know, i immediately regret that decision

[johngriff]

that car.

Custom turbo (2560 replica)
power fc
550cc injectors
greddy down pipe
megan test pipe
random tubular mani.

yeah, the silencer sucks, and will cause enough back pressure to ruin the gaskets/exhuast wheel, LEAVE IT OUT!

[Gilboyto]

Thanks for teh specs on that car! Is it yours or something? Because I heard it a while back and only noticed that it had power fc and such fom what it stated on the vid.
Does it sound any different with a stock turbo Id assume?

[SoSideways]

Man that exhaust sounds manly.

Awesome.

I need it now.

[johngriff]

its not that much different.

the custom turbo is knicknamed the "tbor charger" after the customer we designed it for. It is essentially a 2560, yet thrust bearing, using the oem sr housings.

Yes that is me, and my old car which is Loooooong gone.

[lilredstiffy]

hey retards with shooting silencers
go to the hardware store and buy some lock washers

silencer wont go anywhere


my issue with my silencer is uhm. it burnt apart. all the padding disappeared
had planned to buy a generic ebay silencer but why spend money to make the car sound liek shit

[MavericStephenc]

i had the same issue withmy gtspec on my s14 it was funny the exhaust was like silecer [email protected]#$ that and spat it out (never bothered with it since)

[Jah1mon]

Does anyone know the name of the song that plays towards the end of the first posted video, the video.google?

[MOUNTAINGARAGE]

I had one of these a few years ago, silencer was tight and i used a el cheapo long tip screwdriver with a bent tip to get it out...just a few yanks.

I loved it, the whole cat-back weighed like 19lbs.

btw, I had lock a lock washer and a nylon lock nut. never lost it.....If you are really worried, drill another hole and put in a pop rivit.

[SwiftS14]

my buddy club spec II silencer is hella lose on mine, it even rattles a bit durring acceleration, mine came with the nylon lock nut and i tighten it hard still rattles. i dont even use the silencer anymore.

[DriftSpecial180]

Listen to this guy...big bad wolf.

You probably haven't had a spec II, but it knows that its too good for the silencer, so it spits it out...duh. Its not their fault...

[RHDintegXSI]

last time one of our friends got their silencer stuck we ended up using a hood prop to hook and pull it out haha..i know thats ghetto right there..but hey sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do

[johngriff]

Wow im a retard. That sucks.

Yeah, i made that video, thats me. LOL.

The song. It is off the Deltron 3030 album, track title "Positive Contact"

Mario C did a remix which is pretty ill.

The Deltron 3030 album, is more experimental than anything, a storytelling album, set to sci fi, with electronica constructions, yet keeping with del's very uniqe lyrical style.

"Deltron" is really, Del the Funky Homosapian, you might also know him from his work in gorrillaz.

I dont suggest using the silencer on the spec II, it tooo restrictive, and i "feel" it can cause damage.

[DriftSpecial180]

my thread is all over the place....

[Gilboyto]

The only "feeling" anyone will do with a silencer in is the person driving behind you when it flies out! :D

[Brian]

hahas John, nice to see a Deltron 3030 fan. ..... and Del in general I suppose.
Heiro!!!!

[RoyalFlush]

would a buddy club spec II on a stock NA KA24DE sound really ricerish, or would an hks hi power sound better on the same car?

[Brian]

This is how mine is, I like the sound of it.

[RoyalFlush]

thanks alot! so its a good quality exhaust in your opinion, like it will last?

[Brian]

ok here is a video.
it is just a normal KA with Buddy Club on it.
Sorry it isn't a better video. Keep in mind too that the exhaust is pointing away from the camera.
I don't know, I like it... oh except for the fact that I can't get one of the hangers to line up AT ALL with where it should be. And also, one of the hangers broke off. Oh and it hits my subframe and hits tranny tunnel right under my where my seat is.
haha

[RoyalFlush]

oh ok thanks, thats really wierd, the lining up thing, i dont see how it would not line up at all.

[Brian]

Well I saw it, with my eyes.
I looked at where the bushing was.
I looked at where the hanger was.
Then I saw that they were at least 3 inches apart from where they should be.
All the other hangers worked, but that one. No luck.
Whatever, I make it work though.

[RoyalFlush]

hahahahah, i wasnt being sarcastic or anything, i was just saying, howd you make it work? was it just fine without it?

[Brian]

well, I use hose clamps around my bushings so it tightens them all up. Great trick if you ask me. So, with all the other bushings holding it just fine, it actually stays there very well.

[RoyalFlush]

ok awesome, i think im gonna go with the buddy club, and if i run into any install problems i might send you a pm if you dont mind

[Brian]

sure.
I don't care.
I can answer questions.
It is a pretty easy thing to do.

[RoyalFlush]

yea it should be easy, just with the whole lining up thing, i dont think there will be probs, but ill let you know if mine doesnt line up either.

[DriftSpecial180]

So on the topic once again, i got the silencer out. Coilover spanner...

It was a lot easier this time. i guess cause i left it in there for a couple days so it settle in a little bit.

**IwannaS15- in regards to your questions, the SpecII is probably the coolest exhaust ever made. Sounds really good on N/A Ka's too. The fitment...well lets just say that i have only one of my hangers in, the one next to the gas tank. I couldn't really get the bolt hanger in there and the two at the tip are way off. But the exhaust is soo light that the one hanger holds it up.

[johngriff]

brian, it sounds like you have your cat, or test pipe flipped the wrong way. The spec II did this to one of my customers, flip the test pipe, fit right up.

the exuast should fit perfectly, no problems.

hks hipower on na sounds like poop btw.

I didnt like the spec II on na much either, but i am a turbo whore.

[Brian]

hmm perhaps you could be correct. Never thought about that.
But at this point I really don't care. haha. Not going to have the car much longer.

I'll have a cooler one for new car anyways.

[johngriff]

Yeah its kinda lame (flipping the pipe).

Any one clear any aggresive aero with this exhaust system yet?

[DriftSpecial180]

i dunno... i don't really wanna lift my car up to fit an aero kit. i'm looking for some OEM sideskirts and a rear valence, wanna keep it a little more subtle....Hahah, who am i kidding, the Spec II is far from subtle. Try to borrow someones rear bumper and see if it fits :naughty:

[drifts135]

To pull it out, tie a piece if wire to a long bolt, drop it through the silencer, then just pull on the wire.

Bolt should hook around length-wise on the hole in the silencer and you can easily just pop it out. That's what I do for my GT spec, works every time.

[DriftSpecial180]

yeah... i already got it out...
