Well my Ex girlfriend finally paid me half the money she owes me from about a year back. So i treated myself and my dub. Now its not the prettiest of exhausts but it does the job and weighes f**kall! Big thanks to R-tec who where stars. Top Class hospitality and service (as expected for how much it cost!) . They fitted the exhaust exactly as i wanted it with exception of how much it sticks out. Sadly due to the lengh of the exhaust it couldn't sit back any further. The exhaust is exactly as i wanted it, Loud, Ugly and light as fook!!

Fielder its nice mate. There has been discussions on the weight saving advantage of using twin cans from motor bikes! Saving 10kg whats your target? :grin:
-
dude you wanna be carefull you dont get sued by the public if some body trips over it!or burns themselves on it!lol sorry dude its what ever floats ya boat if it makes you happy and you got what you went for then .... sweet as.
how much was it? :grin:
-
Looks smart as mate , n by the looks of it will make small children cry an old people P**S themselves

Truthfuly it cost me 190 quid including custom fitting. R-tec did a real good job. It was nice to have work done on my car where i got 100% say in what was going on and i knew the work would be spot on. They even made up brackets for the exhaust which are made to fit so well it wont scratch the can.
It had been ordered for sombody else and they didnt want it so they shoved it on top of a display cabonet for 100. When i said i wanted it they all looked at my car and couldnt understand what the hell i was doing. They kept trying to sell me a twin exit super sprint box. But i stuck at it and im uber happy with it. It suits the car perfectly - Ugly but light and straight to the point. No frills :cool:
-
Not a bad price mate tbh, you'd pay more than that for a top end ss one. If I was that concerned about weight saving though I myself would've probably lopped the exhaust off after the downpipe and gone for a side exit system :wink:
-
I personally dont like it but if its what you want and your happy then good on ya.
-
Anyway you can do a sound recordin :grin:

We looked into it but decided against it. It would mean re-mounting the side skirt so it sits 100% still with no slight movement at all and the cars already low enaugh as it is. the pipe would have to leave the exhaust tunnel and go under the car to exit out the side. It would just made it impossible to live with....However the idea of leaving sparts every time i clip curbs at the track was nice :cool:
Im gonna do a drive by vid later today (no not of me hanging out the window shooting people...i mean acctually drive past a camera!)
-
Fielder mate you nutter!! :laugh:
Looking :cool: mate!
Very original which is what i like these days.
What ya upto tomorrow night? Me and my mate thought we would do some old fashioned cruising :grin: Wanna meet up so i can hear ya can? Oh and do some cruising :tongue:
-
Sweet, been waiting to get my Burbery hat out :grin:
I think im going away tomorrow night. But tonight i might be taking a trip to stevenage for hte meet if your up for it? Drop me a text or somthing
-
Ah the Burberry hat oh yes :lipsrsealed: :wink:
Is this the herts.net cruise tonight? Think i might wash and polish the golf
-
yeah meet at leasure world car park at 7 and we can convoy up to stevo. Text me back asspipe :kiss:
-
Waiting for ma biatch (my mate) to text me back. Asswipe :kiss: :tongue:
-
Well it is certainley different. My Bro in law has a Tuscan that 'had' bike carbon fibre cans on and they went straight on ebay when he bought it. It now has Blue flame and sounds awesome.
But seriously Fielder it is original and its a talking point, would be intrested in hearing it. Attach a sound clip/
-
well it's different Fielder that's for sure. Obviously not going to be to everyones taste but that's what makes the world so great...
-
Only a personal opinion but that is the stupidist exhaust I think I have ever seen.
-
i knpw yas doin things your way which im totally up for, if every one did the same stuff...1.8t this 1.8t that yawn yawn etc things would grind to a halt (not just on about engines just using that as an example...), just think you were stung a bit on the cost thats all, a friend of mine makes the kind of exhaust you got (although not very fashionable in the motorbike world anymore since peeps started putting them on there cars...) and i can get that kind on can (unbranded) but he makes them for a few various top names, for probs about £40, so i hope for the price you paid you got right back to the downpipe and all hangers and new rubbers etc... ive got a spare race can in me shed for my gsxr, and im after an exhaust for the vr6, but wether its my age or not ill pass on slappin it on the back...
good on yas though fielder, pays to be different...
:wink:

It's nice to see you dont race down streets lined with houses and all that since you have giving up the boy racer stuff. :shocked:can we get a shaking head please someone :shocked:
Oh and 180 was it for that? it looks s**t :sick: and i think you could have spent the money on something better.

Tell that to the TVR owner, Skyline owner, Jag Owner, Supra Owner and the numberious BMWs and Mercs that frequently rag it down that road. Which happens to be a dead end and in my own quiet estate full of old people with nobody about :drool:
Christ this place gets more and more like Clubgti every day :laugh:
-
Tbh i think it looks stupid and dosnt sound particulaly great but maybe thats just the video quality. But hey each to ther own and all that as long as you like it thats what counts :smiley:
-
i recko if it sat in a bit itd look spot on,as fielder always says its a track car!! :wink:
-
oh,price was abit fooking much tho,and not keen on the noise! but as said,could be just quality of recording! :huh:
