Best exhaust for a mk2 VTS?

[Bradtate]

I've looked at so many. I've whittled it down to a few...

Supersprint 2" race system

Power flow system

Saxsport 2" race system

Opinions? Go.

[Ryan]

I'd never even consider fitting a powerflow to any of my cars.

[Jay_]

LOL at powerflow.

Supersprint / kamracing

then saxsport IMO.

[christoph]

Sod them three. . just get a scaffold pipe :y:

[m4tt274]

powerflows tend to be rubbish. just stainless pipe welded onto a standard mid pipe with a tip for £250 usually. the tips can look nice, but they dont flow well and certainly arent tested over and over for performance.

ive had both, saxsport was really really good quality, did 40,000 and still looked new with a polish and it doesnt attract attention!
whereas, the supersprint though looks the best looks like a rally pipe, and people often ask if you have a rally exhaust on the car, fine, unless its a police man.
both with a 4/2/1 scream!! properly, noisy if you dont have a centre silencer.
may be placebo, but i felt the supersprint made the car feel quicker than the saxsport. sounded the best, the saxsport was abit zinggy if thats a word?
supersprint wasnt stainless, got rusty after 20k or so, no big deal.

your call, both brilliantly suited to a saxo. its evo vs subaru debate. some say one, some the other, no real defining argument.

With regards to the rusty SS. Go for Kamracing as it's stainless.

And I think that last line sums it up spot on :y:

[Prickle]

If you're sad like me just clean the backbox :zainy: It will rust anyway inside out but it will keep the outside of it clean if you dont want it looking rusty..

Go for stainless..

[Treg]

i love pipers to be fair , i dont like pure raspyness and dont like the look of supersprints so went for piper and its nice :)

[RickP]

I would and did go for kam racing stainless system. Looks and sounds glorious!

summed it up perfectly to be honest!!

i have a supersprint on mine and fucking love it, such a child in tunnels etc haha.

[Bradtate]

Think it's decided, will be going for the 2" kam racing stainless steel system!

I pick my VTS up on Sunday (bough it off here), so after Christmas I have a few plans :)

[ed-bradley]

OMP, if you can find one.

[KamRacing]

OMP, if you can find one.

loud, expensive and not a great fit. Fabled in their absence but no-one bought them when they were in production..

Thats interesting, I've not looked into the OMP zorst, just assumed it would be good quality.

Makes sense why hardly any about then.

Thoughts on BTB while we're discussing brands etc? Another one rated highly on here, but one I have no experience with.

[AlexB]

seen a few omps
stupidly loud

kinda why i want one lmao :P

[KamRacing]

The OMP were ok, but they were rally exhaust systems where db limits were high. I'd say the saxo would tip 100 db with one so you are not going to get near a track. We found they often needed work to fit them to the manifold etc as they did not come with flanges. A bit of welding to sort but its a job you don't want to do.

The reason no-ones seen them is they have been discontinued since 2009.

lol @ alex. We could make you one just as loud.

[AlexB]

haha tbh guys i like getting on track
allready a little worried for noise limits next year first "test fires" are about 87 db at 2.5/3k revs :/
8.2k limit i think im boned

[welshpug]

Edwards Motorsport ftw.

I've fitted an OMP to a 205 with a mate, needed the hangers chopping and welding to make it fit properly!

Kev, please don't sell loud exhausts, banish the chavs!

[KamRacing]

Theres always a way to sort the noise!

[AlexB]

there are but they will add restrictions in the system

im guessing it may level off up the revs but no way of knowing till i can get it up there

[KamRacing]

in reality it probably will not restrict by that much. You might lose 1 bhp with a bigger mid silencer, maybe less :D

[AlexB]

inlet noise though is a different ball game thats my issue

I ran one for years. If I were doing it again id still buy one. But then I cannot stand the wet fart sounding pea shooters everyone on here bums.

[AlexB]

my only gripe with btb is the sheer weight of the system

[welshpug]

as used by the SB engined Mango Saxo.

[AlexB]

seen jps exhaust im consdering going to mike for my next setup as i need it to go over the gearbox to allow space for other things

[welshpug]

I doubt there is space to do that, unless you have a C2, or its just the downpipe, but it'll be wiggly as fook !

[AlexB]

its going to be tight yea
but im thinking with a cable shift BE i can run the cables elsewhere and create a little space that way rather than linkages
