Thanks mate, yer i will say tho, the pipe work was not an easy job, as the fuel tank sits quite close to the bumper, and i still had to keep the bend mandrel on the sencond set of twins so it was a bit of a shit to do but got there in the end, i will try and get some pics of the full system when its on a ramp so i can show off the stainless manifolds aswell lol

:

MV6 MAN · « **Reply #27 on:** 10 March 2012, 20:20:55 »

SPEC of full system.

full stainless system through out
de-cats lol

one sports centre box
running 2 and a half inch pipe from the down pipes back

the car now sounds amazing, properly has the V sound that i wanted, if anything more like a V8 lol, and i would say has now increased the power nicly aswell, not sure how much yet, but will find out soon as it will be on the rolling road

MV6 MAN · « **Reply #28 on:** 10 March 2012, 20:23:04 »

Forgot to say, every bend is mandrel aswell which is pritty cool, tho that is why it cost me an arm and a leg, but i wont go there lol

omega3000 · « **Reply #29 on:** 10 March 2012, 20:25:35 »

Looking at the picture i can see where to make the bends now , i bought a new mig welder xmas and not used it yet so will get some pipe and have a go

Will have a look down the breakers for some chrome tail pieces

Is that the standard silencer ?

No i ditched the old system, to be able to have room for the bends i had to re position the back box futher in to the car so i had room to mess about with making the twin exits

omega3000 · « **Reply #31 on:** 10 March 2012, 20:35:07 »

Yeah i see now how its further back now , exact measuring needed . All trial and error i guess , seen a stainless twin box on a bmw down the breakers so i might get that and try and make something up from that .

De-cat

i can imagine the soundtrack

I sent the car in to a companey called torque technique, but i designed the system with him, but the boxes were made from sratch to taylor fit the car so i could'nt help you with your question sorry, i would say there are quite a few companys that make sports box's or whatever you wanted so maybe search for that, dont know if that will help you just trial and error i guess

well i soppose it depends how much money you have/or are willing to spend i guess, my system cost me £1800 so to me that is alot of money as i dont earn that much and trying to run this car alone is bad enough at 20 years old lol, but yer he is reasonable

yer £1800 is alot but to be fair £300 of it was VAT, but the system is 2 and a half inch all the way on mandrel bends and beleive me there is no place/shop that would be cheap if you wanted mandrel bends, they are the way forward with exhausts, get such a better flow, look it up mate, and yer i know i will get a video up soon but im so busy with work and doing stuff to the car i dont have much time to do it, but i will i promise

As a fabricator by trade, I know exactly how much work goes into such things.
I would place a guess they had the car for at least a week???
And as it has been said, you can't please everybody, one mans dream car is another mans shed! Lol just don't take things to heart and enjoy the forum.... :-)

On-line forums ay - so easy to misconceive someones comment. Some people have such strong opinions that others can get offended easilly. I'm a member of a fair few forums and OOF has got to have the easiest crowd of members. I've seen very few on here who set out to dig at others

£1800 is a lot of money - YES, BUT look at what you have for it.

Keep us all updated on progress/videos etc
