Just bought......A 3" system! ***fitted***

Man that is running hot. I never saw my mani glow at all on any power run. Best bhp was 350bhp. Do you get warping to the flanges at all?

Aaron I'll have a good look when I pop over there this week. Bizarrely we were on the same boat on the way home yesterday lol

Let me know how it goes and what you find.
Odd timing about boat but at least he got one, eventually! Did you like the car?

[Wazzzer]

Yeah I love the fact it looks near enough standard from the outside

What turbo, and manifold though mate?

The relentless manifolds glow like that on a stage 1 mapped car, even the stock manifolds glow like a light bulb.

It's also dependant on the rollers you're on, inertia based dynos like AMD don't load the car up anywhere near as much as a load based dyno. On AMD's rollerers it was a very dim glow after 4 power runs.

Yeah its a totally different set up. GT28rs turbo and previously an APR inconnel manifold and now a Pipewerx stainless steel one.
I was just wondering if with that much heat in it the flanges ever warped and previously when it got too hot my APR one did. (now corrected that issue though!)

I have the same system on mine, minus the Decat because when i bought it 2nd hand it diddnt come with it, mine sounds pretty nice without the decat tho. wouldnt mind getting the decat, but them in the USA wont sell me the decat by its self.

and on cruize its pretty reasonable and unnoticeable.

Another dyno vid for those still undecided about these

God dam. That sounds a beast! So will a 3" exhaust be ok on a not so beefy 1.8t? I think i need to read all this thread tonight.

I was set on a miltek cat back for sound but.......
