Neil Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Has anyone bought one of these and fitted it? Are they any good? I have a slight blowing back box (steady :wink: ) Click here Thank you in advance Neil Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 That looks like the JAPSPEED K2 system, not great when it comes to fitment. The Cobra or Scorpion system we offer would be the choice I'd make for a OEM replacement... Quote
ewan221 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Claims to give an additional 30+ bhp would that not be false marketing ? Quote
smudgedon Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 30+?! Stay well away if they're stating that, will probably be a bit fit and brake after a day Quote
SteveW Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 I like it how it states in the advert "you can trust us" of course you can with ludicrous claims of 30 BHP. Quote
Neil Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 I could do with 30 bhp! Think I might buy it and prove you all wrong Actually - you've all confirmed to me that I should stay well clear - so I will. Thanks everyone. Quote
Dave-350 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Am I the only one on here who thinks the standard system sounds and performs great? Quote
ChrisS Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Am I the only one on here who thinks the standard system sounds and performs great? Yes But in fairness, you've only been here two months. We all thought that for the first 3 or 4 months. Quote
Neil Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Am I the only one on here who thinks the standard system sounds and performs great? No mate... In fact I prefer the standard system, but as the back box is blowing I am looking to replace it. If I could find a standard back box that has been chromed (if that's possible?) then I would go for that. At worst, I'm looking for the standard box ('56 plate). You take no notice of the nasty people pulling your leg, sunshine :wink: Neil Edited January 9, 2013 by Neil Quote

Dave-350 Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Haha! Yea I guess I cant really comment on anything BUT the standard system! But it sounds so nice when you hit 3K, so nice that I wouldnt want to change it! But hopefully when I get to some meets I can have a listen to some aftermarket systems! And the standard box Neil is not stainless, hence why it doesnt stay shiny like mine! This would be my only reason for changing mine over! Edited January 9, 2013 by Dave-350 Quote

brillomaster Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Am I the only one on here who thinks the standard system sounds and performs great? if your first priority is as a muffler or a silencer, then it does indeed work great... as its too quiet! if however you're looking to be the smoothest exit for exhaust gasses, then its less good... too many baffles (find the thread where someone opened one up) my choice on a budget would be a scorpion system - same noise as stock at low rpm, but a lovely growl when you put your foot down. the exhaust is the main reason why i dont like revving my engine out... above 5k the engine note really starts to feel strangled to me, makes more of a whooshing than growling. but then again my preious car was a 3 litre v6, with a decatted true dual exhaust and sounded absolutely when going for the redline.

Flex Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Does the scorpion system have a Db rating, I guess I could look, but I'm sooooo lazy! Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Does the scorpion system have a Db rating, I guess I could look, but I'm sooooo lazy! Around 85-90 when the last reading was taken by a member... Quote
