You don\'t need a tin hat for that statement Malc I think anyone who has swapped would concur.

Right made my decision exhaust wise, these guys http://www.mijexhaust.com/?gclid=CM6UyOTArLgCFeXItAodxw4A2g have £600 of mine for a box load of components. It\'s going to be a custom job front to back. 3inch down pipe to a mid box that\'s a single 3 inch in and two 2.5inch out back to a couple of 2.5 inch in/out back boxes. If I\'ve got it right it\'ll be a tad fruitier on low revs open up under load and flow a good bit better without the CAT.

Kev,, these guys built my exhaust on the Cosmo,, I think it has a really nice tone and a lot of people think it has a V8 under the hood,, just 2 small silencers and no cats,, it howls at high revs

I think you will be impressed

Only getting the components from there Frank as they\'re top notch. The design/build will be mine I get to put my mark on the car that way.

Well that\'s one car good to go for Rotorstock a new custom exhaust on the Black FC. It\'s not a cheap option if you factor in a days labour but the satisfaction of building from scratch is hard to quantify value wise.

I\'ve managed to get the desired effect reasonably quiet yet free flowing with straight through boxes and no CAT.
System now consists of a 3inch downpipe back to the mid box which incorporates the Y section rather than a separate Y. From there it\'s a dual system 2.5inch straight through back boxes with all bends mandrel to maximise the flow.
The finished effect is slightly louder than stock on tick over, mid revs with a nice burble then a decent sound track under heavy load.
A quick clip here tickover free reving to the rev limiter http://sdrv.ms/16qa3zI

Well done Kev,
Brilliant quality, look forward to seeing you at Rotorstock.

If I can get it primed and painted in time it\'ll be in the orange FC Chris but I\'ve a back up now regardless............ dry roads this morning gave me the chance to try out my handy work and it\'s certainly resulted in a noticeable increase in response and power. Giving it some around work they can hear me 1/2 a mile away or so, but its very sociable as hoped once off the loud pedal.
Regards Kevin

Grant Monkhouse

Well Kev if they\'re both ready I see no reason why you can\'t have both down there;) lol

kev-yorks

LOL now that couldn\'t possibly be Grant putting himself forward for having a rotary to drive down to RS with would it.
Regards Kevin

Grant Monkhouse

Well I could always push the rx4 down, and make brap brap noises whilst doing so.
