i want to get a straight through centre pipe for my mk2 vtr, does anyone know where i can get one and would it join upto a piper backbox,oh and my cat is in the manifold

www.motorsportworld.co.uk is where I got my Supersprint one. Its 50mm bore too, and cheap!

Is that ok Puzzle?

puzzledzippy · 23rd July 2006, 18:59

do you have the cat in your manifold

Colin · 23rd July 2006, 19:01

Nope. But that one will wipe out your middle box. But it act as a De-cat for any other Saxo, but not the one with the cat in the manifold.

You will need another manifold!

i want to keep the cat in the manifold, after hearing damo's one today i want it to sound like that

Colin · 23rd July 2006, 19:08

hmmmmm, he's 16v is'nt he? They will sound different to 8v.

Is he de-catted?

puzzledzippy · 23rd July 2006, 19:09

his is a vts but it wouldnt sound that much different.
he has had his cat put back on

puzzledzippy · 23rd July 2006, 19:11

just found this would that be any good http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-SAXO-RACIN...QQcmdZViewItem

Colin · 23rd July 2006, 19:12

No it would'nt. But its all down to bore sizes and baffle to how an exhaust sounds. De-catting would make it louder and a bit raspy.

But that pipe that I showed you would link to your manifold and your backbox nicely.

Its up to you really!

puzzledzippy · 23rd July 2006, 19:13

so its save to but the one you have and it will meet up with my manifold?
could you check that the one iam looking is the right one please,part number SUP233002

Colin · 23rd July 2006, 19:14

Sorry, last post was sposed to be before yours!

The Cybox ones are 1.75inch bore. And there in 2 parts so you risk a good seal.

But its stainless and mandrel bent so yeah, its pretty good!

Colin · 23rd July 2006, 19:17

Yep thats the one. Best to look under your car and see if the pipe looks the same.

puzzledzippy · 23rd July 2006, 19:19

good point

Colin · 23rd July 2006, 19:21

Should do yeah. Should be direct fit. Supersprint are pretty good so quality and fitment should be as they describe.

But ill say, please check under your car to make sure its a similar layout!

puzzledzippy · 23rd July 2006, 19:24

thanks for the help mate

Colin · 23rd July 2006, 19:25

No problems!

Ive been messing with exhausts and looking around for ages so ive learnt a fair bit about them!

puzzledzippy · 23rd July 2006, 19:27

will check under my car and get one ordered

Sorry to

. Refers to your centre middle section. I have been looking into getting a remus racing exhaust section. Are these any good? They are 2"diameter I believe. Would it make the car faster aswell due to the backpressure or slower? Cheers for the help.

Colin · 24th July 2006, 10:25

The remus ones are 1.75" bore as I asked on Ebay.

There just as good as any other i'd imagine.

They would make your car louder and yes a little would be gained but N/A engines need a little backpressure to scavenge the next cycle of gases out.

The middle box keeps the back-pressures and sound pressure waves at there best. But if you were to get your car setup then there would be no problems.

droopster · 24th July 2006, 10:30

Really 1.75", I swear I asked and he said 2". Ow well I will be getting a manifold aswell when I get round to it, will that affect it aswell?
