Sorry but EXHAUSTS for 1600 engine please?

[BRAD]

Had a look on the serch but couldn't really see a lot, so you lot are probably sick of people asking but I've a week off and thought I 'd get a new exhaust once I've fitted the new shifter and spots.
Just want to know peoples opinions on any decent aftermarket system, stainless or anything.

Ground clearance is'nt an issue because it's not lowered.

Cheers

 

[who?1]

Perhaps there is enough time this week to get it lowered too :lol: :lol:

Going for standard or after market exhaust?

Have you any other engine mods?

What's your budget?

 

[BRAD]

Ha, don't actually fancy lowering at the moment.
No mods at all, all bog standard engine.
Budget?, probably £350-400 mark.
Was thinking stainless steel.

I recommend Turbo Thomas as I have one although they are generally made to order. I have also heard good things about Bluebird as well.

I've had a Bluebird stainless header and single quiet pack on for about 3 years and am well happy with it.

 

[BRAD]

Bluebird?, never heard of either of them, got a link? :roll:

I like it SOLD!

One question though, why is the exit pipe on opposite side to mine, just the design and does it matter?

 

[A5H]

Yes, just the design, no, makes no difference

 

[uber cool]

with that sort of a budget I'd go for one of the Vintage Speed products, Volksworlds did a dyno run a few months back on all exhaust some of the cheaper ones produced less power than a standard exhaust. The Vintage Speed scored the best from what I remember.

I've got a turbo thomas, on my avatar pic, but pretty sure they're made to order
Good luck

I hope you realise that the "quiet" pack is probably the most mis named item you can buy for your bay. :lol:

Just to jump in on this thread, I have a few quick questions

Does stainless or ceramic give off less heat compaired with standard metal?
What size bore do most people go for with a no standard engine / twin carbs etc?

I have just fitted the Bluebird Stock Stainless and well impressed.

Whats it like for noise though? I fitted the quiet pack they list just above the "stock" and though the quality and fit was excellent, it was so loud I had to feather the throttle in town because it was so noisy and was in constant fear of being stopped by "les flics" :lol:

 

[Wensbry]

It is great, about as quiet as you are gonna get I think.

 

[K@rlos]

I agree, I've fitted a Mondo now :mrgreen:

 

[stevefhot]

I have just fit a Vintage Speed exhaust, good build quality and a good fit,
