Husky Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 what is the majorities opinion? ians wrong I'm never wrong or at least I'd never admit to it be carefull thats how the bmw i-drive was born Quote
rtbiscuit Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 ians leading the way on this one. one of only a handful who run single exit. my opinion rightly or wrongly is that single exit is for 4 pot engines.(single manifolds) and twin exit is for anything with 6 or more cylinders (2 manifolds) and best if its true dual fairly certain ian will disagree with me, but then thats why i like his banter on here. makes life more interesting Quote

mattbowey Posted May 13, 2010 Author Posted May 13, 2010 lol, i havent crack on, is entertaining me Quote

I've got a true dual though so mines better! (even if it does rust after a few weeks ) Quote
Neilp Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 mattbowey that's your k1 in the exhaust delivery truck about 2 hours ago!! Mods! can we get a smilie with earmuffs on it please??? Send it to matt for me, although I do think he's more of a hardcore sound junkie than me haha Quote
maz0 Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Not wishing to hurt Ian's feelings or anything but I don't think the single exit looks right, it imbalances the symmetry of the rear end quite a bit. Maybe if it was made single exit from the factory I wouldn't have ever know it any other way, but I just cant get my head round it going from twin to single! Quote

No feelings hurt, I took a LOT of abuse when I bought it, more when I fitted it & even now 2.5 years I still get abuse for it I like it though & wouldn't change back to a twin for anything & thats all that matters to me Quote
Neilp Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 i quite like the single exit, looks very jap-ish. dont know if id have the bottle to do it myself but i like different Quote

yokomo Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 i kinda like the single exit idea myself just dont think i could take the noise. Quote
Ian Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 i kinda like the single exit idea myself just dont think i could take the noise. It only gets really loud if your silly (like me) & decat it and remove the mid pipe silencer Quote
yokomo Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 sorry going off topic here but what was like in as bought form wiht cat? Quote
Ian Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Don't know, my car has been decated (except for about 6months where I run high flows) since about a week after buying it This was it with 100cel sport cats & y-pipe Wasn't as loud as my Nur spec was Quote
mattbowey Posted May 18, 2010 Author Posted May 18, 2010 despite my decision not to go for the bumper tuck i was forced into it as my K1 touched the rear bumper slightly and i'd rather tuck it than melt it. not tucked as much as some i have seen, also think i need another white bracket for the middle. am happy for now though. as for the K1 it arrived today (thanks to Neilp) very well packaged and took a while to unwrap, managed to fill the bin too.... he got it nice and shiny for me too.. car lifted, OEM exhaust on... OEM exhaust off K1 on... slight modifications to allow complete clearance including a minor bumper tuck but not all the way up... and a couple from behind job done... had a quick blast after fitting and omg its loud, think i might have to put the baffles in, very happy with it so far though Quote
TADDY Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 even with this one?... nope thats sexual +1 nice new sig by the way cheers dude Quote
Neilp Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Lol loving the pics. How long did it take to unwrap? How easy was it to tuck ur bumper? I'm considering mines. Anyways get a soundclip up. I love the sound of it. Jealous now... Hope you enjoy as much as i did. Don't put baffles in keep it loud and proud! Quote
bounty78 Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Nice wheels and the bumper tuck works with your K1 Quote
