Im just wondering if anyone has fitted one of these super ebay bargin 3inch exhaust\'s?? I had one on my egi and the quality of the exhaust was good for the a,ount i paid for it. But it was needless to say \'\'loud\'\'.
I understand that the turbo takes some noise away but im just wondering how noisy a 3inch system on a t2 is??

Also couldn\'t resist whoring my car out:)

Looking good :)
 
As for the rad - looks very similar to the one I have - an ASI rad from China - which was fine for a few months then the solder/dip/weld or whatever it is between the core and end tanks started to weep :(
 
Shame as it\'s a good sized rad.
 
I\'m currently trying a \'liquid metal\' fix with it - but car now has other problems...
 
Best off going for a Koyo if you can get one

i had the downpipe and de-cat mated to my kaki rear. was a fair bit louder than stock downpipe and cat with kaki.
was louder but didnt sound as throaty as stock with kaki.

was ok (not quiet but not deafening) to drive with i found. (the kaki is loud neways, i dont think the ebay will be louder)

Hmm might be interested in one of those Rads myself once Christmas and new year are out of the way. If you do get one let us know how it is.
I don\'t need to upgrade my stock turbo to beat your ass!

I think ill just go for it and buy the zorst and probably just try and get a koyo from the states as a leaking rad is the last thing id want.

Also looking to get a set of these-

id love too...the worst thing is trying to choose a set...specially when your spending around £800 you don\'t want to be changing your mind when they\'re fitted to the car so im taking my time choosing.

I have one of those exhausts fitted to my t2, it\'s pretty good quality for the price, really nice welds,  it does sit a bit high and off to the right which is annoying, as it touches the rear bumper, so I\'m gonna have to chop into that I think so it doesn\'t get melted.  It is loud, only heard it at under 4k revs as my car is on axle stands in the garage, at that sort of speed it seems tolerable though, I\'d say go for it!

yeah the systems are great value for money and the construction seems to be of good quality.
I really didn\'t want a twin system with two four inch cans as it seems abit ott.
