thing is the downpipe is 3 inch and the exhaust syatem is 2 inch, can i reduce this using a reducer, and would this cause any problems, just gna do the exhaust system whilst im doin the turbo
-
I get the feeling the fitment of the main pipe will be utter sh!te. Take a look at their feedback. Looks good in the pic tho....

It's a gd fit mate i got tha system last year only problem is the tail pipes sit below the valance so i had them cut off and re welded to fit up higher into 4mo valance other than that sounds gd not to loud and bargain for the price but have a search as you can get one with de cat pipe for same money :cool:

did u have to use a 3" to 2" reducer then

yeah been lookin at it, but its not the best of materials used, can get a full stainless steel system for just £90 odd more, may have to let my wallet decide tho lol
-
as said few guys have no problems at all with it but as for lasting i suppose thats another story, read on here about cracked milteks aswell so not always a good thing with the most expensive. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
-
Just been quoted £290 for a custom 2.5" decat stainless steel system (turbo back) from these guys http://www.rmsexhausts.com/, used them before years ago and seem to do a good job.
also mentioned that the decat downpipe will be interchangeable for mot swaps :)

The above exhaust is full stainless :rolleyes:
Maybe not the highest grade, but i bet you most of them arent anyway.
These guys happily got my money.
-
meant to say, guy at the exhaust place said 2.5" would be better for gas flow any truth in this at all
-
Smaller pipe better for gas flow than larger pipe?
-
Its good to get the right size exhaust for the size turbo you are using to make sure the back pressure is right as it can add to turbo lag if the exhaust it to big for the turbo.
If your getting a k03s 2.5" will be good.
-
no reducer needed mate just a strait fit off with the old and on with the new and the one dave iow got would be a very good choice to mate :cool:
-
thinkin o just goin fr that kit from the USA as i pyhisically wana do the job myself anyhow, just a question on the back box,looks big, can this be discrete like my original, or does valance need to be changed, or modded and is there no rubbing issues on your lowered cars.
-
You will have to put a 90 degree turned down tailpipe on it, which isnt a problem as the tailpipe actually bolts on to the backbox :smiley:

is a 90 a good idea giving its an acute bend, and "which isnt a problem as the tailpipe actually bolts on to the backbox", can you elaborate please
-
You have two 90 degree bends in your exhaust already..
Elaboration;
See pic below, fit exhaust as usual from front backwards, when you get to backbox, you will notice this finishes under car and doesn't poke out, you have choice of two tailpipes (long and short / hatchback and estate) which bolt to end of the backbox, which stick out the back.
So you have to either, get someone to put a 90 degree bend into one of your original options, or buy a bend, cut a flange off one of them, and weld together.
I have put an arrow pointing out the bits you need to pay attention too for your viewing pleasure.

fk that, just want an exhaust that will more or less fit str8 on without havin to add sh!t n weld sh!t to anything,dnt want anythin poking out, would rather it be discrete anyhow, aw well, bk to the drawing board lol
-
think i picked u up wrong there, would i need to attach any of these pipes at all to the back box, much prefer the discrete look
-
Yes, or t will melt you valance!
Not that i would know :laugh: :embarassed:

wow even more great pics of this nice bit of kit for the money defo getting my money, im lucky i was a welder so no worrys welding on a bend if need be got quite a nice 180amp mig with nice euro torch that will do the job nicely or may even weld on something different hmmmmmmmmmmmm :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
-
can i not just get a 90 and clamp it on to the bk box
-

You can buy ones with flanges on yes.. but you pay for the priveledge..
-
klkl, wonder if i know any welders lol
-
tailpipe would cost hardly anything to have welded on to be honest, whats in the bag of goodies its not clamps and bolts for that money aswell is it surely. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

wow it just gets better, how can thay do all that for that money roll on the new year i want one big time. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
-
Gav what sort of exhaust note you got coming through i dont want ott i want subtle
-
They burble on idle and growl on boost.
I was going to have middle box taken out as i like it loud, but glad i didnt!
If you like it subtle, im afraid its not the one for you...
-
Might have to invest just to cure curiosity and also help the neighbours with there hearing roll on the new year
-

Its a nice burble on tick over and if you drive it steady it doesnt roar but does pop and bang now and again :laugh: ,it seems quiet at 70mph on the motorway its not anoying.......But boot it and it turns heads so if you want a standard sound on boost get something else.Im not in to loud exhausts but it sounds sooo good on boost :wink:

please stop now :cry: i want a growl and not subtle "its not fair i want one" think i would weld an outwardly rolled 3" tailpipe as i still like me oldschool tailpipes im a retro man through and through :sad:
-
Thats the bonus of the tailpipe bolting to the backbox :afro:
Completely customisable :cool:
-
fk it minds made up, all that talk bout the sounds n pops has just settled it lol
-
seems like a lot of kit for your pound it really does you have me sold big time, now to start saving or seeing what i can sell hmmmm maybe a kidney pmsl. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Obviously not :smiley: but know ones ever noticed,i got ridiculous quotes for a custom twin so i went for the cheapo job :wink:
-
Pic from underneath?
You could get an exhaust place to link them pretty easy i would have thought?
-
i know this is a 3" system, been told that a 2.5" would suit a turbo better, any truth in this
-
i got the 3" system no probs makes it sound nice and spoil quicker for the money i would buy it try it if it dont work someone on here or ebay will give you the money you paid for it
