: New mod for the GT :)
Casey-R26 11-03-2008, 19:24:04 Finally got round to ordering a new exhaust for the GT. Ive been deciding wether to remove the back box or get a full system. In the end i decided with a full stainless straight through system. Its the same one that Alain has fitted and fom the videos i have of it it sounds pretty nice. Also when i spoke to Andy B a while ago he said when he heard Alains exhaust it was the nuts so im really looking forward to it.
The tailpipes are 3.5" rolled in, slash cut tailpipes so they're only 1/2 '' bigger than the current but i like OEM looking mods.No box's so should pretty nice. :)
Hopefully it will be here around Friday ish so ready to fit for the weekend.
Heres a few pictures of it fitted onto Alains car. Hope you dont mind me putting them up mate.

Will get some pictures and videos up when its all fitted.
ClaneO 11-03-2008, 19:27:44 will you lose power with the straight through system?? bet itll sound saweeeeeeet though :D
Casey-R26 11-03-2008, 19:29:53 Dont think so as Alain has had his RR with this exhaust, ITG and BOV and it made 186bhp.
ClaneO 11-03-2008, 19:31:09 wot are they standard mate?? so he couldve gained power?? is it a cat replacement system??
Casey-R26 11-03-2008, 19:33:49 they should be 165 standard, all though mine made 170 with DV and ITG allthough it could of been slightly up without the mods.
rosscoe 11-03-2008, 20:01:55 no cat??????
Casey-R26 11-03-2008, 20:07:13 Its from the cat back Rosscoe.
ClaneO 11-03-2008, 20:11:46 i thought thats wot you meant, usually when i hear straight through i think theres no cat!
Casey-R26 11-03-2008, 20:16:31 Sorry mate, when i said straight through i meant no front box or back box.
rosscoe 11-03-2008, 20:31:28 aah, looks very nice indeed.....
Casey-R26 11-03-2008, 20:32:17 will i loose power with no box's in it ?
ClaneO 11-03-2008, 20:34:23 if its similar to the 225 im guessin you will, but as i say im guessing :)
annoying that how other cars you can run a straight through exhaust and it will up the power considerably :(
Casey-R26 11-03-2008, 20:36:58 well i will take a trip over to leeds and see how it affects it and if it does loose power i can always get the front box put on or take it off.
Deano16v 11-03-2008, 21:07:48 should gain you power shouldnt it? less back pressure?
Alain 11-03-2008, 21:24:36 you can use the pics mate no prob. let me know how it goes ...:biggthumpup:
Casey-R26 11-03-2008, 21:58:26 how does it sound on the motorway, hope its not too loud, but love the video i have when your car pulls away slow, quite deep and burbly
Alain 11-03-2008, 22:01:02 i'm still really happy with mine and the sound is awesome on any road, i would be surprise if you ever regret installing it mate.
Casey-R26 11-03-2008, 22:04:06 well should be here this friday, so hopefully it will be on for the weekend.
Alain 11-03-2008, 22:06:17 :biggthumpup: hope you gonna get it on time and wen it's installed let us know what you think of it.....
Casey-R26 11-03-2008, 22:08:24 If it all goes to plan i will get my mate to do some videos of acceleration ect and some standing videos.
ClaneO 11-03-2008, 22:08:36 have use found the vid of it yet?? would love to hear it :D
Casey-R26 11-03-2008, 22:10:37 i have a video of Alains but its of it pulling away slowly not heavy revving ect.
ClaneO 11-03-2008, 22:20:02 can you get it on here??
Casey-R26 11-03-2008, 22:21:10 just uploading it onto YT so hopefully if it works then it will be on in a minute
ClaneO 11-03-2008, 22:26:11 cheers bud im bored at work ;)

Revon 11-03-2008, 23:20:37 Bloody hell that sounds crazy......like godzilla on the loo. I mean that in the best possible way :)
adz-r26 11-03-2008, 23:41:49 yeah that makes the right noises!
go for it mate!
Casey-R26 12-03-2008, 10:27:11 Hope it sounds as good as that when its all done
benje 12-03-2008, 11:18:03 what engines the GT?
i was under the impression these were diesels?
Naith 12-03-2008, 11:41:36 2 litre turbo
benje 12-03-2008, 12:34:51 petrol JA?
Casey-R26 12-03-2008, 12:44:05 Both 2 litre turbos just either petrol 165 bhp or desiel 150 bhp
benje 12-03-2008, 13:32:27 so is yours a petrol ? lol
its like drawing blood from a stone!!!
Casey-R26 12-03-2008, 13:47:09 Yep. If you would of noticed this thread is in the sport hatch not the oil burning section. So if it wasnt petrol it would be in the dci section.
benje 12-03-2008, 13:50:42 i click "new posts" instead of the specific forums ;)
ya bitch!!!
looks lovely though matey, bet it goes like stink!
quick question, why did you choose this over the likes of a 225/R26?
Casey-R26 12-03-2008, 13:54:59 Insurance mate. When i bought it i had only just turned 20 and had 0 ncb with a previous claim. So i bought this. Goes like a standard 225 now so gunna keep it for 1 more year then change it. Plus i like it ;-)
Alain 12-03-2008, 21:31:16 :cussing:
chris can you remove the first vid from youtube pls mate or hide the number plate........
Casey-R26 12-03-2008, 22:15:35 Removed the first vid, sorry mate
Alain 12-03-2008, 22:17:56 thanks matey.
you can use it as long as you hide the number plate mate and specially on youtube.
Casey-R26 12-03-2008, 22:19:56 not sure if i have a video editor so ill just remove it for now unless i get some software to change it.
Casey-R26 16-03-2008, 14:58:10 The new exhaust is all fitted now, sounded mental at first and maybe too loud but now ive done a few miles with it on it sounds much better. The best is when you floor it you get an amazing sound, along with a litle wistle and even had a couple of pops. And im pretty sure the turbo is spooling alot quicker it seams that everytime i even touch the pedal and come off it i get a really loud dump alot more noticeable than before. I will get some pictures up a bit later along with some videos.
adz-r26 16-03-2008, 14:59:58 good job mate i bet your well pleased!
Casey-R26 16-03-2008, 15:01:34 Yep well chuffed mate
Casey-R26 16-03-2008, 15:26:25 Will do mate when i get someone to video it while i give it some revs,
Alain 16-03-2008, 17:44:54 :biggthumpup: can't wait to see the pics & vids...
