Which Exhaust!!???

Definately looking at a Piper backbox for looks and sounds but its between these at the moment...

3 or 3.5" Inwardly/Outwardly rolled???? :err:

Im liking the 3.5" OR option...


http://www.motor-world.co.uk/show_prod.php?prod_id=9516

Or the inwardly-rolled?...


http://www.2modified.com/inch-inward...acturers_id=86
What would you go for people?


Thought and opinions really, really welcome! :y:

grantlowery 24th April 2008 19:06

Much prefer the outrolled one, you could always get the supersprint !

Adam_Q 26th April 2008 18:31

In rolled dude! Oh and i've done a chop for ya ;)


Adam_Q 26th April 2008 18:33

Can you see what i've done ;)

sim69er 26th April 2008 19:02

outward rolled = slag look

David 26th April 2008 19:03

3" Inward for me... ;)

lavo-vts 26th April 2008 19:12

outward ftw. only wish you could get a 2.5" though as that would look spot on

grantlowery 27th April 2008 09:44

Ive been looking round the site, I think were the only 2 on the site with a gunmetal sax!

Cheers Grant

I looked at those and the OMP race backboxes but want a slightly larger pipe to fill the space but not too big if you get what i mean.

Cheers sim69er.

I really liked that look at first but im now leaning towards the 3.5" inwardly rolled because it looks a little bit better and will fill the bumper space but not be as big as say a 4" jap gash cut box.

That would be sex lavo!

I can get one made up but im not sure the size would suit plus it may sound like a bit of a wet fart :P

Not as bad as the full pugsports i guess.

Lavo_VTS above has a sexy Gunmetal sax and there are also 2 others iirc?
Both Mk's i think aswell :err:...

Im going for looks and performance to make mine one of a kind :hug:

RedB 27th April 2008 11:06

Thanks for all the comments guys!

I think we may have a winner...

The Piper 3.5" inwardly rolled is really catching my eye at the moment and i picked up a new
rear bumper from Mj1 (Mike) last week so when its here i'll fit it straight on then get some pictures
and vids of the system in action :y:

Those of you at FCS will also see and hear it on track ;)

Got a little video yesterday and some more pics so will post those up shortly!

grantlowery 27th April 2008 11:17

What size are the OMP tailpipes, goT to be the slag look !

LEE_VTR1 27th April 2008 11:17

i reckon the piper 3 inch outwardly rolled from kam looks ace, sounds nice too mate.

Thanks Lee buddy :)

I want the same make but the 3.5" option.
Should look sex when everythings fitted next week then i can get some more pics and vids.

The picture above also hasnt got the 'Piper' logo on it so the backbox i get will be stainless steel with that on and a liiiitle bit larger :)

grantlowery 27th April 2008 12:16

AlexR 27th April 2008 19:20

That exhaust is tragic lol

You do know those harnesses are dangerous mounted like that?

I have nothing positive to add :P

Hurry up and get it slagged for some summer track action :D

Thats why a Piper is on order among other things before i come and see you haha ;)

Its been on there since i got here but hasnt been changed like the rest of the system yet due to more important things, just polished the scrap can up.

The harnesses feel better than just being mounted straight tbh.
They are so tightly adjusted for the driver's side they couldn't slip and do any harm anyways lol.

Apart from the rubbish in the back in those pics and 2 GTI leather seats shes ready for action :y:

Buckets need to be picked up and the leather dropped off so expect an update on the interior soon ;)

Viper 27th April 2008 19:30

Lol saxo Polizei :P

Will look and sound much better by then btw :)

Adam_Q 27th April 2008 20:04

Video's are too short dude and where did you learnt to pull away... shocking lol!

Jokes dude!

craig180 27th April 2008 20:14

I think you should sell me your wheels red :p

That's nowhere near stripped though. I still see ice. Rip it out!

Not for sale atm although i do need some track wheels :err:

Ideas Mr180?

It has a dash, some wiring behind that, Head Unit and Alpine front comps with small hidden amp...Couldn't live without them in the car so they are staying lol :oops:

If i had my way id have a second car as a track toy which would be stripped of everything, true slag style:

1 seat
Few wires and digi-dash in place of the old plastic lump
Some sort of shell around the wheels which id call a chassis
A spec'd engine
And fook all else tbh. :P

Thats getting me thinking now actually!

More proper videos in the next few days as those were pretty pants ;)

Yates 28th April 2008 14:15

cant be arsed reading thru it all, whats the spec of it or is it just standard engine wise?

Viper 28th April 2008 14:37

dont you dare take the HU out! lol

will be in for a boring ride if you do :(

and will i need ear defenders if its going to be stripped. lol will be loud as foock!

HU and components are staying in bud so no worries ;)

Already stripped apart from the dash and 2 seats which i cant be arsed with lol. Loud enough but not too loud which i like.

Some of the engine bay has also been stripped along with the firewall, spare wheels, undercarrige and other random brackets and pieces that aren't needed.

Seriously thinking about getting the sunroof welded over as i hardly use it anyways and its more weight/one less thing to
go wrong and break on a saxo :P

Yates - If you read some of it dude i've done the basics like:

Induction kit and oil breather
Head gasket
* Straight through system
SS 4-2-1 manifold fully heat-wrapped
SS centre section from Kam
Head gasket
New alternator
Belts and a full service (Silkolene Fully synthetic oils and better oil filter)
Uprated fuel filter

Loads more to come but i've mainly been focusing on suspension and brakes for the next few months antics.

Sparco upper brace
OMP lower brace (adonised red)
Goodridge lines
Brake system fully bled with 5.1 Motul pro fluid
Bias and pedal adjusted
Mintex M1155 pads that need fitting
X-Sport racing gear linkages
Griffiths and Compbrake quickshifts that also need fitting
New track rods
Wheel bearings
Uprated droplinks

Plus a few other goodies like the new tyres i've found, finishing touches to the zorst and induction systems. Interior needs some attention next week with my new buckets and frames to go in and harnesses adjusted then i will give the whole underside a clean up with some fresh lick of hammerite and a good detail :y:

Ghey video tbh. Just wanted to hear the sound of the system on a video :)

Some terrible, gash boxter/imola style backbox that looks a bit like a sportex item i think!? :homme:

Came on the car when i got it last year but i've replaced the whole system and sorted other stuff out as its bad i know but a new BB wasnt really essential so gave it a clean and polish and left it on for the moment, just looks and sounds a bit gash with the induction kit haha.

Piper backbox should arrive very soon!!!
Also getting a Green Forced induction kit on order from Kam this week to go with and finish things off Karl :y:
