custom exhaust

[flash76]

Im just waiting for delivery of this Re-amemiya rear bumper, and i will need to get the exhaust done for the center exit, i have a racing beat at the mo, can it be modified or do i need a new exhaust custom made?
 
Also does anyone knows anywhere that custom makes exhausts?

Unfortunatly if you look under the back of the car you will see you have a big petrol tank that is going to stop you modifying the exhaust to come out of the middle as per picture and to loose the tank to make the kind or room your going to need with big mods like a custom fuel tank.

However if you don\'t want to get that searious it looks like you still have lots of room to fit the RB system in the normal place and then you could blank the big middle hole.

Even taking this easy route the back end of your care would still look very trick  :cool

Yep, thought it wouldnt be easy! lol, will probley keep exhaust in the normal place at first then look at getting it out the center one day............... cheers

Clive is certainly right but if you are going to go to the expense of this kit then its surely worth the price to get something made to fit. The fuel tank will defo have to move out the way but you can possibly utilise the spare wheel bay for a fuel tank if you can get something fabricated to fit. Might be worth trying to see on the underside of a kitted out car and this might give you some clues as to how they did it.

The only car i can find with the bumper fitted is the Re-amemiya car, i didnt buy the whole kit just the rear bumper coz the rest of the kit looks like a porsche! :Nono!
 
im adding bits of diffrent kits like chargespeed arches feed front end etc...
 
the only info RE-A give in a magazine interveiw is that they extended the exhust pipe 90 degreas to make the center exit, didnt say if they moved the fuel tank or not.
 
miguel at newera asked them if they made a  custom exhust and they said it would cost £2500 + shipping!! he sugested i get it done cheaper in england, i think i will get him to ask Re-A about what they did with the fuel tank.

You can see exactly what they have done by looking at the picture of the back of the car (where it is on chassis stands). The exhaust is still mounted in the standard place but instead of an exit pipe there is apipe coming out of the silencer, bending 90 degrees across the back of the fuel tank, then must bend 90 degress again to exit from the centre hole.

Can\'t be good for performance!
The picture alos makes it clear you keep the standard box and exit at the side.
There are hundreds of people in the Uk that could build you up a read silencer with the bends in it. Just google/yellow pages it.

In fact you can see the standard tank still on its straps as well. There is some heat resistant foil between the tank and the pipe and final 90 degree bend to the exit.
Easy, but will rob God knows how much grunt.

well i can see that 90 deg bend quite clearly.  you know this might not be as bad depending on how far the bumper sticks out and hence how much room between the tank and bumper. I think it certainly might be possible. The exhaust will just use its original mounting hanger points.  Whatever is fabricated to fit can be coated in ceramic that will keep the heat away,you can also heat wrap it as well so you never know its still a cheaper option than installing a small internal tank which is pretty certain how they did it.
Its certainly a lovely kit and i do agreee that its like a porche at the front,not my cup of tea either.

Should be able to help.  They have modified my exhaust several times and do top quality work.  They\'d even be able to make a custom fuel tank as required.

EDIT: Don\'t use the web contact form as it\'s down.... best give them a ring

[flash76]

cheers for the help chaps, will contact jon rathbone racing, they look good, the bumper should be here in a few weeks, cant wait to get all the stuff on the car, then my mum can stop moaning that all the parts, wheels etc are stacked up in the spare room!

[monkey-fd3s]

Good luck dude... the bumper is awesome...

[bin liner]

thats gonna seriously affect your performance i would have thought with 2 90 bends....why not go side exit like the tvr sagaris.......

[monkey-fd3s]

The RE-A car was built to run high speed smoothly so I can\'t imagine it\'s that bad... sure it\'s never going to be as good as a straight system but sometimes looking good is more important than every last bhp...

I\'d trade some power for a quieter exhaust... seriously considering dumping my current exhaust for a cat and knight sports ti back box.... nice and quiet.

Are you getting the lights to fit the kit as well matey?

Dont forget to post plenty pics when its fitted.  Was interested in the MK1 version of the rear end to go with my front a while ago, but wasnt sure so went another route.  Interested to see how wild this one looks on a non RE show car

could u not cut a hole say b4 the fuel tank and angle the exhaust through the back end of the car and back out angain over the fuel tank? angles wont be so extreme then?
