Ooops! My car's going to be loud!

Sweet. My system was the other way round, too quiet. Yours is going to make your ears bleed and your neighbours want to shove a banana up it's ***!

I'm going to get a removable centre silencer but with 2.5" rear pipe and massive rear muffler it'll still be pretty quiet.

[DarrenM]

Thought I was getting this one ..

Thats the baby i got but with twin slash tho, mated to 3" turbo back, i wanted it loud loud loud! Heard them Millteks they sound to standard for my liking..LOL!!

[Crawford_S2]

That is a nice system, need one of those! Did you order direct from 034 in the states? Can i ask how much it cost you to your door? Soon as i got some dough sorted i think the S2 is going to get some poured into it finally!

does it fit ok?

i was told that the fit isn't always great and the quality can vary. i have the backbox with twin pipe and the rest is custom made by quattronics. it made sense to do it this way with having a different turbo and manifold and the result is awesome.

they get a bit boomy at around 1800rpm and loud up top. you cant go anyware discreetly. its great for the neighbours sleep pattern. they dont need an alarm clock anymore either.

whats the reasoning for going 3" on a k24? would 2.5" be about 1/2 the cost? not dissing your decision just wondering the reasoning unless you plan to go big turbo and just mod the downpipe.

Darren and Gary your systems are both custom built by us, the only similarities are that the 034 system uses the same Magnaflow boxes as we do.
The one in the image above was the very first system we brought across from 034 when we where supplying their parts, it took a fair bit to make it fit perfectly but even now the car that system is fitted to the exhaust has been changed quite a bit since then.
Hope that clears up any questions.

Both guys are going 3071r

The 2.5 downpipe is a restriction above 250-260 bhp, this is fact and proven on the dyno's I remember telling Hpmuirt before his car went on the dyno and the operator said exactly the same thing after his run

[Rusty]

Well, the only differences between my car and Si's were the Samcos and cat back Milltek and I'm 20+bhp up. I'm assuming the RS2 airbox and my one are comparable. My car feels faster with the 3" hybrid DP so it makes a difference. You want minimal back pressure no matter wat the turbo, k24 is on the cusp power wise of needing a 3" or 2.75" to improve performance.

I like the welds on the twin pipe system, looks quite nice and think a twin exit will look better/more oem. Would be interested to either hear or see a video once you get it all sorted and fitted, it was my one gripe about the s2 which has always put me off the car, its just too quiet, no-one looks unless your tanking it past them.

[Jamo]

If you want a good exhaust system then I can recommend OJZ Engineering, they've done plenty of S cars before and also feature in PPC magazine.

They did some articles on how to make a manifold and the welds on the exhaust were a thing of beauty.

[Acidburn]

Yup i remember you mentioning them before jamo and they are top of my list atm, I remember seeing the welding they did on kevin leapers e type jag, i'd prefer a custom made to fit one rather than ordering one. How long would they need the car to do it? i'd presume 1-2 days or more?

[Rusty]

I've got to book mine in at Pro-speed again to get it sorted, when done they will have a 3" jig for an S2 downpipe. Their workmanship was good and the system is perfect for daily use but I want it louder still so am getting the centre box taken out.

I'll report on the fit in a couple of days time, I'm on an RS2 turbo at the mo but going up to a 3071

[newsh]

I've just been and heard it, its absolutely barking Pete reckons you can hear the valves opening and closing through the tailpipe Sounds like a race car.. The pickup, with the GT3071 and 3" system is amazing, it just seems like its really breathing

[s2driveruk]

sounds tasty! have to grab an audio file.....
