Yeah will do!

He basically said on monday they will decide whether they will put on a cat back or turbo back system. I said there is loads of interest in a sports cat, he said they might do a 100 cell one then as the 80 cell tends to bring up engine faults, mind you mine does anyway!

6 x 4 is to big mate, will look over powering from the rear.

5 x 3 yes.

or wat do look nice are 4" outward rolled round tails.
or a 4" slash cut that migh look good.

andy bassett
09-03-2006, 21:48:32

Cool like i say he has never seen one so will probably realise when he sees it, i'll let him know i want 5 x 3 then or round ones
not really bothered i just want the extra performance and sound!

Cant believe you found it hard! i think the back end of mine is now superb!

The only reason i dont rate Magnex so much is cause it seems to be an 'off the shelf' exhaust.. everyone has one, they dont seem to fit very well... and hmmm

i hope you get on ok with it

i like the idea of a std zorst tbh

my last experience of a custom zorst was for my Civic type-r..... had a totally bespoke stainless-steel Powerflo cat-back system, built to the car (watched whilst they made it)

sounded lurrrvly. deep, bassy and with a pop and burble thrown in.


drove it the 100 miles home and at both 70 and 40 mph it resonated with the car...made my whole body shake. Felt sick the whole time.

It lasted 99 miles....stopped at quick fit and the old 1 went back on!!!!!!

oops.


so a nice proven, std system sounds like a plan !

tbh a new back-box and outlet-pipes would be enuf for me. Std at up to 4k then a bit beefier. I would just want the popping/burbling sound a la rally car tbh.

the Focus ST has it, so why wont my 225

/me cwies

Well it maybe off the shelf in a few years time, but they are custom designing it over two weeks and i have the option of what pipes i want
etc

Lets be honest its not gonna be a crap Peco jobby, or as good as an H&R system(not that i've seen one)
but its free and i'll put the old one back on if its pants! :D
