car looks stunning mate, nice figures there too.

didnt think there was anyone on here from northern ireland, whats the exhaust sound like? i want to get somthing for mine but dont want it to sound too loud..

[miniator]

it sounds epic mate, i replied to your thread about a wee photoshoot....you can have a listen then

[Exec]

i wonder how it would sound with removed cats too, or replaced with pass-throgh boxes  

[miniator]

gastly apparently, and youll lose more power...again, apparently!

[Conor62]

replied again there mate, def get a listen to it as i need to replace those pea-shooter twin pipes with fatter ones..

[miniator]

no doubt youll hear me coming....shes rather loud outside the car apparently! likes to pop and bang a little too

iv got a 2.5 v6 est i removed both cats but left the middle boxes on as i did with my previous car a cavalier v6 which on that greatly improved things but on the miggie, as suggested it didnt improve things at all,didnt make it noticable worse but no better.i have now refitted the cats and removed the middle boxes and replaced the back box with twin cherry bombs, this not only sounds good but has improved performance enough to warrant doing it.

thats a 30bhp increase on just an exhaust....the filter is still standard. i know of another 3.2 that was putting out 247bhp with a straight through exhaust....he then fitted a BMC CDA, he hasnt got it RR'd yet so that should be an interesting result!

ive heard somewhere around 20bhp increase with an ECU upgrade, ive also heard of more. Should be more interesting come the end of hte summer

ive also got a better image of the print out for your viewing pleasure:D

Quite correct, i had my ECU done then had a full re-map and a few other tweeks here and there and the results are below..

My 3.0i engine has just 47,000 under its belt which helps

Run 1

231BHP
203lb/ft

Run 2

233BHP
201lb/ft

Run 3 After Remap

251BHP
219lb/ft  peaked at 6500rpm but now revs higher then ever

Dont expect the same fuel economy though

[miniator]

nice figures there andy! what else is done to the car?

i think a remap and cams are definitely on the cards....fiancee wont like it though lol  

[Exec]

i've got to consider a remap like this too
