Exhaust.
I know this has probably been asked a million times but....
I have a '200' X reg Furio, now I know the cat is in the manifold. If I'm correct does it mean that the rest of the pipe is straight through, will I get any gains from fitting a centre section?
Thanks,
Matt

gain as in bhp = no
gain as in sound = no
its pritty pointless tbh the center section is only for the 'silencer' and you will get what it means by the name lol.

So, Just a back box will do? Would get a nice note? Been looking at the 3" outwardly rolled Piepr's from Kam Racing.

yeah jsut backbox will be fine. and tbh i think scorpion ones are cheap n nasty but make a nice sound. i would go for the piper or magnex sound mint, but u have to pay the price. lol

you would get a very minor gain fitting a full exhaust, as the pipe work would be a little bigger than standard

I have always been told that the original centre section is plenty big enough for running standard or very slightly increased power and no gains are to be had there. Maybe ive been mis informed

Well at least I know its not worth fitting a new centre section as it recently had a new full exhaust fitted by the previous owner for its MOT.
