....stop measuring trouser snakes boys.
.......and how many times have we seen this come up on here.
I raced my pal in his (insert car) and he kept up with me.......yawn. I can't believe that I am not the fastest car on the road......how much will it cost to twin turbo my zed?
JWT Popcharger is one of the most popular choices.
K & N typhoon is beastly sound and looks wise but its pricey.
I really like the AEM one too! Would have gone for this if I had to do it all again.
Get to a meet and have a listen to members choices....
£350ish for scorpion and £180 for y pipe are the going rate. Contact CS or Tarmac and get a quote for both bits.
Sound is lovely with this combo - even better with some decats!
It depends which aftermarket system you go for. Lets say you leave the OEM manifolds and cats on. You will need a y pipe, a centre pipe and a back box. Some aftermarket systems (for example the nismo come with all three parts) while others (such as scorpion) come with the centre pipe and backbox but no y pipe.
Just to ensure you are clear - the flexijoints are part of the y pipe. You dont need to order these seperately. In your first picture the 2 weaved bits at the bens in the y pipe (almost straw looking and eroded away) are the flexijoints.
No biggy if you pick a system that don't come with the y pipe - just order one seperately. I got the scorpion and bought a japspeed y pipe and decats seperately.
Hope this helps
Your y pipe flexi joints have seen better days too but I have seen worse.
Mate keep the cats and just buy an aftermarket system which sounds/looks better at a fraction of the price or if you want a bit more noise throw some decats or HFCs on too.
There are a set of mongoose decats going on ebay just now for £25.
I have the scorpion system with japspeed y pipe and decats. Sounds great but it took a bit of fiddling to get right! Don't be put off though - worth the effort.
The exhaust is made up of cats, a y pipe, a centre pipe and a back box.
The y pipe is the part which has two flexijoints on it - they can quite often go on the OEM units after a good few miles. Either there or the joint at the back box.
I just thought because in the auction bidders it comes up with a user o***t you were bidding. :lol I will research the advantages/disadvantages and let you know how I get on mate.
I thought silicone would keep temps lower than plastic or mental hence the reason I went for it.
Are you just trying to make me sell it cos you were sniped Ok you can have it
I have did a static line jump but that is a new level of awesome mate! Good job!
How much did you crap your pants when you started spinning out on the level 5. Change of boxers before the resit?
I fitted the Scorpion along with a custom y pipe and japspeed decats at the birth age of 28 and mental age of 7.
I feel its very stocky when driving softly but as soon as you plant the right foot, it comes alive. Sometimes I think I would of been as well getting a custom system built for the same money as I am not the biggest fan of the tips but hey ho - it sounds great!
