Prospeed Exhausts - Cardiff - 2011 Update

[Rusty]

I think they might have a heart attack at that, they wanted me on a quiet day Feel free to phone them up and see if they will do dizzyD on 2 or more though

Option 1 is a good one, as I said if option 2 is a no-go then option1 it is!

Sorry mate, meant nothing by it, wasn't even aimed at you, I'd forgotten that was your spec until after I wrote it Was more of an illustration that with a mere 1.5 bar of boost on a k24 it'll make little difference. Hopefully it'll be OK with a GT3071 as that's what I'm building the car for as I can't afford a 2.6

Don't worry I was just being devil's advocate!

It seems i'm getting a 3" system cat back which will be rather noisey!

Hear the brummie car roar!

[Rusty]

There are options to get it quieter and of course the Avant is bound to be a bit different in terms of rear driveshaft clearance. Maybe wait and see what my system is like and then phone Prospeed and see what they can do for you. A twin box 3" system with sports cat should be OK for noise TBH, it's more the clearance issues on the coupe that mean a size drop is a good idea. Are you going to use the Avant on track? If not or you don't mind a little more wonga going to the organisers then you're fine up to 105dB.

Hi Steve,

I'm running the 034motorsport turbo back 3" exhaust system and actually I did flatten the exhaust over the rear axle. Just took it in a press and that was it. Fits like a charm after I pressed the pipe.

That's what I would do.

[Fat Audi 80]

Yeah, thanks for the link, I remembered that there were a few people who had them but not who!

It's all personal preference fatty, you like to polish my car to perfection and I want a loud track car.

I think I'd prefer to have it kept within the lines of the car with a down swept 3" pipe and thus nice and stealthy, I think the problem will be whether the centre box can get enough ground clearance or not, it no then option 1 is the boy, if yes then option 2.

Darren, as only the rear 1/3rd is going to be 2.5" on option 1 I think it'll be OK, I want it quite loud so that should even out the peaks that you ge with a poorly silenced system AND this is not Longlife and has been recommended by a few peeps.

Don't worry fatty, I'm going as fast as my rubbish body will take me, just tried the slowest bike ride known to man and I feel like I've ridden flat out for 15+

I totally understand Andy, just expressing my personal opinion and of course you can choose to ignore it!

I am only pulling your leg, I hope you feel well enough to start sorting your life out soon. I am happy to wait until everything else is sorted first.

Cheers,

Steve.

It's an existing system with a single box and second mufffler wont be built from scratch, no idea how noisey it will be i'll have to find out when the time comes

Hadn't planned on tracking it well not until at least I've got RS4 brakes

[Jamo]

Oh and Andy take loads of pics! Bibby had a great amount of pics of his Avant exhaust from prospeed but it seem he's taken down all reference and pictures from Acidtrax's to his Avant.

[Rusty]

Sure thing, I'm not taking the car but I'll instruct my driver to snap away

[s2driveruk]

when you planning on getting it done Andy?

[Rusty]

Booked in for 20th September, going for option 1 as Paul at Prospeed wasn't confident that they could get a side exit to be below track day noise regs and I'd hate not to be able to come and play at events like ADI. Realy enthusiastic and helpful chaps there, I hope their work is as good as I've been told. Have to wait till next Saturday to find out\ for sure.

Should I be getting excited now?

[re2500]

You wont be disappointed mate, especially if charlie himself does it!! SKILLS!!

[Rusty]

@ Fatty, yes!

@ RE2500, Paul and Charlie are going to double-team it. Lucky S2!

Shame that a side-exit wasn't possible for <95dB but I guess it'll be better in the long run.

I also asked Paul about rollcages and he said that Prospeed can do show cages but weren't happy to anything that would be regarded as a safety device, he wasn't sure of Charlie's views or experience but it wasn't a positive answer so didn't inspire confidence...
