It is for upholstery, but I wanted something fancy in the car also, so why not the carpetJanis, that is looking great!
I really like the diamond stitching on the floor cover, is it actually carpet or upholstery material?
Here this fake leather diamond stiched costs 24€ for 1m 1.42m wide.Awesome! I want to do diamond pleat too! Looks great. I like the dimpling you did to the center console.
It is standart Simons muffler, from “universal catalog”, it is a company from Sweden. This muffler cost to me with good discount 60€-80€.I like that. I am looking for a similar muffler but a little bit smaller to be fitted behind the rear grill. Is it a standard 3 port muffler or did you add the third port in the middle?
Yes I know Simmons, they and Ferrita are the biggest manufacturers here in Sweden. You got a very good price. Your muffler costs about 150 EUR in Sweden. The muffler is a little bit too big for my setup as I am going to mount it as high as possible, right behind the grill. I found another much smaller Simmons muffler on Facebook Market (just 25 EUR brand new ) but I think the car will be too noisy with that one. I need to meet the Swedish track restriction of max 95 Db. I will have a look at Ferrita as well. They are big in motorsport so they probably have something that meets the demands.It is standart Simons muffler, from “universal catalog”, it is a company from Sweden.

Same 95db here, doesn’t turbo make it less noisy?Yes I know Simmons, they and Ferrita are the biggest manufacturers here in Sweden. You got a very good price.

Definitely. Some production turbo vehicles do not use any muffler. The remaining exhaust pipes and catalytic converter make it quiet.doesn’t turbo make it less noisy?
Yes there are cars that manage the 95dB limit without a muffler such as Abarth 595. But they have a CAT. Lucky for me no X1/9 and UT Mk1 with CAT were imported to Sweden so I will save money and gain some hp by not adding a Race CAT. It's a good idea to try with a straight pipe. I will manufacture a "side pipe" from turbo to rear grill and then measure dB. Then I can easily add more tubes and a muffler if needed.Definitely.
