3" system fitted

[s2_southwest]

Just got the car back from longlife, pictures explain it all really, 3" system from turbo back, cats taken out, 2 boxes put in, 4" tail pipe.

[porkkis]

Did you feel any performance gain?

[merlin's S4]

I take it that was done in Plymouth? Looks like they did a nice job! How much did that set you back? Were you happy with their service?

[s2_southwest]

performance wise its hard to tell, the engine seems to rev a lot more easily and turbo spool up seems to be a bit quicker too, cant really tell until its on the RR.

Yes done in plymouth, Service was 1st class, recommend to anyone. The guy who runs the plymouth one has an rs2 avant, so he was very chatty about the car etc.

Rather not say the price, my wallet is a lot lighter though, it was the same price as other people have been quoted for turbo back systems

[caterpillar]

to 1,8 liters and turbo,use 2,5" system, above 2liter 3" system, THE ONLY ONE.....if you have extreme HP, 3,5"....... :mischeif:

Nice work it must have cost 1k the only problem you will have you will not be able to get the car maped.

[s2_southwest]

Why cant i get it mapped?

the fit is really good, its a tight fit as most people will know and it doesnt knock or squeak or anything, pukka job!

[gavs20v]

whereabouts did you get it done? which longlife? im looking for somewhere to do my avant and dont mind travelling. Theres no reason why it cant be mapped with this exhaust.
nice one

Thats what i thought Gav

It was done in the plymouth branch see www.longlife.co.uk and then click "locate a centre" that lists all the ones in the country, one in bristol etc, the sound is really really nice, espcially with the 2 silencer boxes and no cats.

They have done a couple of s2's, coupes and avants at the plymouth one so know what they are doing. well chuffed with it

I think the comment on mapping is related to the fact that you no longer have a place to stick an EGT sensor just after the turbo. Your original downpipe had a blanking plug in a threaded hole.

Sure there'll be a way round it though.

[s2_southwest]

The exhaust is made in 3 sections so is easy to take apart, when it comes to the time of getting it mapped then i will get them to weld on a nut for EGT on the downpipe

cheers

[Bibby]

Wouldn't be difficult to tap a thread and blank it into the downpipe. Will have to remember to do mine before it's fitted.

Gav, you're always welcome to doss at ours if you want to use the same chap as I have.

[Greg_S]

Looks very good that one. What size thread are you having put in? In mine i use labfacility thermocouples and there's have glands with 1/8BSP threads. Im gonna order some more up soon since I had to open an account with them if you want the bits let me know. From memory it works out about 15 for gland and thermocouple.

We have already had to add a welded on nut to a Miltek downpipe for custom mapping. Get an M12x1.5 stainless nut, drill a hole and bolt the nut to the downpipe (this keeps it in the correct position and reduces any warping with heat). Make sure the drilled hole is big enough not to damage a threaded bolt. Don't do it bolted to the turbo!
