matty316 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Got some overtime this month so i thought i'd treat myself to a new exhaust, been looking at the usual suspects Japspeed K1 & K2 & Scorpion exhaust. Anybody got any recommendations? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty316 Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 Got a real nice sound to that See you got a D1 spec throttle controller. Does it really make a difference cos i was looking at getting one myself. Where did you get it from? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty316 Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 Yeah i have old biddy's living each side next door so don't think they'd like the growl of a new exhaust without bungs in haha. Will have to give zmanalex has any left. How much was your exhaust by the way? was it easy to fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the exhaust from Sarah (ChilliRed) http://chillired.co.uk/ocart/index.php?route=product/product&path=49&product_id=166 Abbey fitted it for me, apparently a very good fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkie34 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 The Milltek is quite a nice bit of kit.CS supply them,not many people have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Well i see a Scorpion Exhaust for £350 but could go up another £100 i know its not alot but am sure i can get something i like That doesn't include a Y pipe though, the militek or buddy club do, so are really only about £150-£200 dearer. CS Does a Blueflame Cat back system that includes a Y pipe, not sure who has one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 FYI. 3 x Blueflame. 1 x K1. K1 made me go mental so swapped after a month. Get a quote from Blueflame direct from their factory in Liverpool and haggle! £650 their price online but some of their suppliers sell it cheaper.

bigbramble Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I have the XYZ motordyne mid pipe and am starting to think even with the hood down its soooo quiet, wouldnt mind a little louder. Only thing is the XYZ has a 3" bore OD. Anyone got any ideas? What bore diam is the Scorpion - I thought it was 2.5". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yokomo Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 From my experience of oem to quiet y back Exhaust , adding y pipe and now some berk cats I'd say unless your the really loud exhaust type I'd go with one if the quieter exhausts as others gave mentioned to start with . If it's not enough add HFCs they make quite a big change. My fujitsubo was quiet then lil growly and now quite racey so all the bits add up.

Anyone know if any of the traders do an 'amazing' price on them? Cheers, Ant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Sarah (Chilli Red) did me a good price on a pair of Berk HFCs recently and she was a pleasure to deal with. The HFCs have made the car a fair bit louder and a little more aggressive-sounding. TBH, I'm tempted to just fit a larger-diameter Y-pipe and keep the stock exhaust because it sounds fantastic!

yokomo Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Y pipe will make a small change if thats what your after , as i said above the bits all add up. you could get the y pipe then if yous till want more get a new exhaust the Y pipe wont be wasted as alot dont come with one.

bigbramble Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Cheapest option for me would be to decat and fit the XYZ race cat, my only concern is noise.... ..I dont want it to be silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlo Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 very interested in hfc's but want to know what sort of cost we are talking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yokomo Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 cheapest options is a cheap Y pipe or get one wiht the exhaust and some berk cats , berks about £450 new but i tihnk Zmanalex may still have a set used . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
