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.

Casey-R26

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.

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.

Alain
11-03-2008, 22:01:02

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

Casey-R26
12-03-2008, 22:15:35

Alain
12-03-2008, 22:17:56

Casey-R26
12-03-2008, 22:19:56

Casey-R26

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.
