Miltek Exhaust Questions

[sal_s2]

I'll let you know when I've got my **** in gear and sorted it. Need to get the next porsche brake upgrade on, 4 new tyres and hall sender changed first.

The one in Nuneaton, yes. I figure its not too far to have my car recovered there when I fit a custom exhaust manifold.
Do you think they'll make a downpipe aswell?
How soon you thinking of going there?

Im gonna have to get my **** into gear and sort out a full 3" system, its a must if you are trying to get 400bhp out of these cars

Enfield North London, I was happy with my Downpipe from them but I think Greg has had a few probs with his full system.

Yeah I did have quite a few problems, I would definetly go for a 1 or 2 box system next time. Which was what i asked for but got a 3box system to keep noise down a bit more. However the 3rd box caused no end of problems with cracks and blowing and the exhaust shifting. Its sorted now but i want to get one of the boxes removed.

Will any Longlife retailer make a 3" system?

Did they make your downpipe aswell

Keith from Dialynx supplied me the 3" downpipe for About £250.

Longlife could have also made the downpipe.
They made my turbo exhuast manifold for my corolla.

Did Keith make a custom one then Habib???

I have a special manifold to fit and need a custom DP made.

He had quite a few made for the URs but I managed to fit it onto my car.

My car should be down the Lion garage next week to sort all the bits out. I can only get over to Custom Chrome on a Saturday morning so hopefully in the next couple of weeks. I'll ask them about downpipes for you.

Nice one.

Are you going to have it made in the next couple of weeks? I wouldnt mind meeting up and seeing their work.

[s2avant]

They want to have a look at the clearance etc then book it in to be done. If I'm happy with what they will do it will be done asap.

Doug - as you know I have Milltek front to back, and a custom piece in the middle to get rid of the shi.tty 1 into 2 then back again for no reason bit (gr8 design Milltek duhhh). It's not the loudest, and drones at about 1500 rpm (so, best drive faster then) but definitely reduces lag.

Would I recommend it? It's ok, but I'm sure you can get better for cheaper, and the sound you want (i don't think sal will *ever* get the sound he wants - but then I'd recommend his car stay as quiet as possible so as not to alert the police to his 'getaway car' style of driving. Oh, and Sal - be careful not to bounce my plasma telly round in the back mate)

That place I went to see with David/Stickdood in whereaboutsisitland was really good, and made stuff for TVRs etc etc so they know what they are on about.

Not sure if Leigh ever got his system sorted out - he was gonna give 'em a shot. Dr Bling? It's on your list, innit?

Failing that just get a length of that orange SFS hose from front to back and sod the silencer/cat/emission/noise regulation/back pressure crap. Actually scrub that - it will work out more expensive to buy that hose than stainless steel!

Glad to have been of help

Can I assume that a remap is in order if you start changing exhaust systems, removing cats etc?

[audiman]

You dont have to remap it, but you may get some extra few BHP from it if you do.

[audiman]

But that would require a custom ECU map, not an MTM generic chip

Cheers Tom.
