Plumbing - what goes where - help plz

[pdtaylor18]

Boot spoiler is off a BMW E45 (I think) and the bodykit is Eichbach, ultra rare and only a few like it.
The exhaust is a Japspeed stainless system and cost around £500,(full system inc downpipe) I think there is a midbox but its not much. maybe after 2-3 years of use its now coming alive.

Think there is a full kit for sale on here at the moment including the ultra rare sleek spoiler.

The Mariah one?

Nah, would much rather a rear diffuser like John has. I guess that it\'ll not happen considering rarity and I doubt John would want to remove it and sell it...


Pete it\'s definitely \'come alive\', I like cars loud, and it just sounded silly when cruising - which I find odd for such a prestigious manufacturer! I bet it\'d sound good on boost though!

Well if it isn\'t quieter after the boost issues are sorted I won\'t be keeping it, especially after this..............

Japspeed stainless system and cost around £500

Are stock systems still available new?


And you\'re right I won\'t be taking any of the kit off - sorry

[papercutout]

Don\'t go stock, trust me - much more restrictive. My 2.5" system with a midbox in would keep you happy (heck, it\'d probably keep you happy as it is - it kinda whistles and sounds lovely)

[pdtaylor18]

John just stick a good mid box in, to go back to a stock system would be crazy as most
2nd hand ones are rotten and you really dont want to ask how much a new system costs, far more than the japspeed one.

Is it the volume, or resonance thats an issue John?

[johnf]

Sorry can\'t hear - gone deaf.

It\'s just sooooooooooooo loud.

Taking it to Carl\'s on Friday to see if we can sort the boost out, I\'ll see what he thinks.

Hi john,
good to see progress with your car
i have a pair of re amemiya back boxes if they of any use to you?
they 3" pipe and the back box is about the size of stock so shouldn\'t be too loud and quieter than your current setup.
let me know if they of use to you.

[johnf]

Thanks

I\'ll see how Fridays goes and get back to you - how much?

I dread to ask but is there any sign of you getting your car back yet?

.

How does £110 sound for the exhaust?
car, well i got an email yesterday saying it should all be \'buttoned down tomorrow\' and that he would call.
but talk is cheap.

/\\ Got any pics /\\

[L18M]

has a 3" tip so wont act like a megaphone unlike some with bigger tips.
There is a slight flat spot in the tip in the pic (upper left \'corner\'). but can easily be hammered out.
thats the only pics i got the other side is same condition
can take more pics if you want when im back home for the weekend.

Bit of an update

Spent Friday at Hayward and as usual the guys were great.

Turns out my turbo was shot, they sorted me a replacement form their \'Aladin\'s Cave\' of parts and fitted that.

BOOST

Overheated a little and it was getting late, 6:30, as there wasn\'t any time left in the day I\'ve left it with them.

They may even get chance to see about the noise level as well.

Won\'t be long now.

I know it\'s been said many times but I\'ll say it again, what a superb team Carl and his guys are.

Frustrating, but certainly explains the problem! Should be MUCH more fun shortly then!
