Anyone have one of these exhaust systems on their car?
Whats the performance gains with this system?
Also if i were to buy it what would be the best manifold for it, 4-2-1 or 4-1.

Thanks

I got one with the black painted Back box. I don't know what power gains i got but basicly i had the interior stripped and the standard exhaust on, then had to put the interior back in (which made it feel quite a bit slower) Then fitted this exhaust and it felt the same as when i had no interior! If your running a stripped interior as well, you can DEFFO tell the difference.

Well thats my opinion anyway!

had one on my old vts and i loved it

Gain is great
Sound is great

iirc, the functionality of 4-1 and a 4-2-1 are different, 4-1 puts a little top end, and 4-2-1 gives a little bottom end. Build on the cars strengths and go 4-2-1. Depends on what the car is for really, if you spend the majority of the time in the top end of the revs, go for the 4-1, if its just a street car go 4-2-1.

In all fairness it makes little difference on these cars, to get the power your after i would advise getting a alloy crank pully system, getting some descent cam's put in etc.

Aswell as that exhaust system, obviosly :P, get the car breathing well before you start replacing engine components :)

Thanks gents for you inputs.
I'm more of an accelerator rather than topend man so i guess 4-2-1 would be best suited.

Thanks again

The 4-1 forces the gasses more because it goes into one pipe rather than two thats the only difference.

Supersprint 4-2-1 is a great manifold. I'm running this with the Supersprint race centre section and race backbox and it's brilliant.

^^ Completly agree, fantastic manifold, cant really go wrong with the supersprint brand tbh! and im sure everyone will agree with that.

There product's are awsome, performance gain, quality and looks!

What more could you want!

I've got the 4-2-1 supersprint on my 98bhp engine was a doddle to fit and would recommend a supersprint to anyone, Just need to get myself the full system now!

[webber]

Thanks JRC1.
I've been thinking about pairing the exhaust with the supersprint 4-2-1, sounds promising now :D

Also another thing,iirc, 4-1 manifolds hang a little lower than the 4-2-1's and can be damaged by bumps etc easier than the 4-2-1's. Another reason.

No worries. The manifold is so pricey though, especially the 16v one. Have a look around for second hand if your on a budget :y: I got mine off a guy on 106owners.

[Krys_23]

Got mine off here for £150 rather than £330 - Couldn't justify paying £330.

Me neither. I paid just over £200 but it had only done a couple of thousand so a good saving of over £100 I thought!

Yeah man it works the exact same at the end of the day, I got some Megs polish on it and it's sitting in my bay looking pretty :y:
