rs2 ebay exhaust manufold

What u think abouth removing cats and midle mufler,will it be to loud or it will be ok?My exhaust is stock

[K Simmonds]

Removing cat will make little difference to the noise, not so sure about the middle box, that will definitely make it deeper and louder. Personally I'd make up a straight through section that replaces the existing middle box and give it a try, can you weld?

[Majorcina]

no i cant

The idea of taking out the catalyst and middle muffler can probably help you with a boost in higher sound, wont sound better (my opinion) but higher, the rear muffler takes away alot of the drone noise so don´t touch that. If I where you I had bought a proper exhaust manifold, 3" downpipe and decat pipes. If it to expensive and you just are looking for sound? A decat and taking out the middle muffler can be an option.

For now i can only run the stock exhaust,the problem here is that no1 can make 3'' downpipe or exhaust,the bigest pipe we have here is 60mm,but they cant make curves with them

I see, but then just take out the middle muffler then and then safe some cash for a finished Product, I choosed BN-Pipes but cost plenty... around 1500€

There seem to be mixed results with the ebay RS2 replica manifolds, I was quite happy to have to clean up the inside a bit so bought one from a member on here, however it would not even bolt to the head! There were only a couple of stud holes in the right place, I started to open them out to fit it, but was unable to ensure port alignment so it was a complete waste of money, or a lesson learned.

Seen 2 reps of rs2 manifolds.One whith ok port alignment and bolt alignment and one with both bad.Grinded it for the ports,refaced it and it is on the car 5000km?
If you have skils and tools buy one.They are bad but not as bad as cracked rs2 used ones.Or pay good money for a good one.If you will be on boost for minutes and egt will go high you will need a good one.If just some puls are done and after that half thtrottle is used get the china one.

I either got lucky or my eBay one is genuine as it fit's perfectly with good bolt alignment and the casting was very clean, I didn't have to do anything to it other than bolt it on. Picked it up a few years ago from a German seller listed as new and genuine, it was certainly new but for 250 quid won at auction I would doubt it being genuine, it did come in a bag with sticker on just like the ones from TPS and has now covered about 2.5K miles without issue so who knows.

I would generally avoid 99% of the "buy it now" eBay manifolds though.

I have tubes, 3" straight tru, 1 box at the back. its not that quiet.

how much the tail pipes stick out has an effect on boom
