auspuff (exhaust system)

[czy]

Hey,

I am Peter from belguim and I am an owner of a Smart Cdi 12/00.
I want to buy an axhaust system for my Cdi but I dont know what I have to buy.

A BRABUS is too expensive!!!!!!!
SW is cheaper but how is the quality, does it make much noise. I don't want to much noise, I just want more torque!

Can anyone help me????

You may reply in German!

Thank You
Peter

Hi Peter!

A good reason for improving my poor english...

I know about one exhaust for the cdi exept SW and Brabus, this one:


It costs about 816 €, is made of stainless steel, but I have never seen / heared it in real!

You can get it here: STC

The SW-exhaust is a modifies stock exhaust, there are two outlets weldet in the middle and the exhaust is polished well.

The original outlet is sealed!
The sound is not very decent ;-) but the sound intensivity can be influenced by modifying the outlet-size inside the tubes, probably SW constructs a more gentle version??!!


The Brabus is the most uncomplicated possibility getting "sound" and torque (not really!!) for your smart.
Expensive, questionable sound quality but nice looking, indeed.

All the other exhausts, CS-Tuning, TTP, etc. are not suitable for the cdi :(

After all, you won´t get real torque-improvement!

The cheapest way getting more sound is to modify an exhaust by your own, but this really isn´t suitable for you if you don´t want a sound-improvement ;-) because sound improves a lot :-D

My advice: Take SW, you will like the sound, optics and the price (404 € incl. steel cover) and because the basis is a stock-exhaust, the quality is all right.

Thank you Ingo for your reply!!!

The SW exhauwst costs 404 Euro but this is without the installation costs.
The factory of SW is in Wiesbaden and this is pretty far for my.
Is it possible to install the "auspuff" myself.

Regards Peter

Hi!

The exaust-installation is no problem at all, you easily can do it youself:

First you have to get the tools you need:

The Torx-bit for bopypanel removement (normaly includet in any bit-set), 13mm socket and a ratchet plus extension and link!!
To unscrew the screw at the gear unit / exhaust holder you can use a normal socket.

Removing the panel is no problem at all (pull abaft, not laterally!!).
The exhaust is screwed on the Turbo with two bolts/nuts and one screw on the gear unit.

It will take you 20 minutes...without ruffle or excitement ;-)

I suggest to write an email to SW, they will response immediatly, I suppose!
Tell them, you dont want it too loud... but I´m shure, you´ll like the full sound after all!!

Do you have any regulations like german TÜV in Belgium?

Greetings Peter

Ingo,


Do you also have an SW "auspuff"???

Ciao pé

[trueblue]

No, I modified an exhaust by myself.

I inserted a tubing connecting the middle chamber directly with the original outlet.

Great sound at low costs!
Works with cdi also!

Here are some soundfiles:

... no response from SW??

I have ordered the exhaust system from RES - Motorsport, this is an belgian tuner.
The exhaust is handmade and costs 595 Euro.
If I have it i will post a sound file on the forum.

[trueblue]

Looks very interesting!!

Real Custom!!!

Does RES already have knowledge about smart-exhausts??

Ingo... and HNY

[czy]

They gave a real "profi" impression.
I will let it install on te 15th of january.
I will let you know what the result is.

Ciao pé

This is the auspuff that I will buy.
It costs 595 Euro and is 100% Inox! The warranty period is 5 years!

When I have it I will post a sound file! WOOAAAPPP!

Ciao Pé and my best wishes for 2003!!!!

[trueblue]

Cool!!

I´m sure it sounds well with a muffler like this... :-D

Is there still a catalytic converter inside?
Younger Smarts with two Lambdas (Gasoline) will display a malfunction without!

Ingo,


It's a Cdi, it has no lambda.
I will have it installed on wednesday.

Ciao
Pé

[trueblue]

ehem, on the pictures above you see two lambdas are mounted... so this definetively is not a cdi... I just wanted to know if there is an cat inside or not...probably the second one is not mounted in the exhaust gas-flow and analyses "freh" air to simulate a working cat...

Regards, Ingo

[czy]

Ingo,

The exhaust has no cat!!!
The sound is great and not to load!
I will have the pictures online soon!

Do you know where I can buy the "heckblende" for the Smart. Brabus is too expensive, SW??

You were right, on the photo you cabn see a lambda, so it is a suprex and no diesel.

Mine is a diesel and it has no lambda

Ciao pé
