evest Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Having already had my stock backbox welded in the usual place, it's wearing out again so time to upgrade. As funds are low, I had a replacement 2nd hand stock back box ready to replace my worn out one, for the time being - however, unfortunately my local Nissan dealer said that the mid pipe was also in quite bad shape and needed replacing too. So I have brought forward my original plan to get a full new COBRA Sport system from Exhausts UK up in Sheffield, who will custom fit it to the car. Y-Pipe, resonated mid-pipe and back box, plus choice of tips on the day. Booked in for Friday! Pics and clips to follow ASAP! For now though - rolled tips (top left) or draga style (top right)? Thoughts? ps - this means I will soon have the 'spare' stock backbox for sale, full details to follow in the sales section. Quote
jollyranchers Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 a few people on here have this system , i think the top right pipe looks the best Quote
DoogyRev Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Good choice Top right looks , top left look's very OEM , bottom right......... get me a bucket Quote
RisingPower Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Top right for me, but top left is ok. The rest imho are Quote
jollyranchers Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 well ! , how did you get on with it today ?!! Quote
evest Posted October 30, 2010 Author Posted October 30, 2010 Okay - all done!! I'm a HAPPY man!!! Really nice growl on start up then a deep rumble at low revs, developing into a deep sporty rasp as you open up the throttle. Car felt great after the install, a noticeable performance increase - my 7 year old stock zorst was showing its age! Here are the pics and hopefully a clip of the car outside Exhausts UK - top blokes there by the way! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcF4zZUDTr8 Quote

evest Posted October 30, 2010 Author Posted October 30, 2010 How much did they charge if you don't mind.................. £595 fitted mate, that includes a £40 charge for the labour. Quote
JAMIE MOY Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 How much did they charge if you don't mind.................. £595 fitted mate, that includes a £40 charge for the labour. Did they say what power gains you are likely to get with this system......??? Very nice though..... Quote
evest Posted October 31, 2010 Author Posted October 31, 2010 They reckon up to 10BHP, but I don't have an accurate figure for my car. It is substantially lighter than the stock system, so some performance gains there - the car definitely felt a bit nippier (might be something to do with the extra noise!!). I'll email them to see if they still have my old system there - I'll ask if they could weigh it in to see what the actual weight saving is. Quote
