Exhaust kit and parts
Posted: Thu May 19, 2016 17:45
Would anyone be interested in the version of a full stainless performance exhaust I have just taken off my car.
It requires some repair and work with a welder, but will give a full performance system pretty similar to the Lotusbits version at significantly less than the £1500 odd.
It consists of a prototype manifold (£800 new) from Mike Taylor which has a small 1.5" triangular piece missing (this was the reason it was removed) from hitting a puddle then a slight pothole impact. (thermal shock) It was run on my car with a centre stainless box (£80) and then stainless 2.5" pipework (£80) to two cherry bomb type silencers (£80) however this was very loud) (and it also has an O2 sensor port welded in for tuning) I have also to go with it, two brand new boxes (£100), similar in size to the ones mike now supplies and tips from genuine stainless boxes for that stealth look along with some new pipe work to finish.
All in all, a complete set of parts that someone with a welder some stainless bar for creating mounting hooks and some time could make into a full performance exhaust. Pictures available, PM me with an email address. I can also give a fuller description of what would be needed to get this running. The welding on most of it is cosmetically poor, but gas tight and solid as my welder was on the blink and it never bothered me in the 8 months and 5k miles it was on for.
The car passed an MOT with the first incarnation on, but was a bit too loud for everyday use if am honest, I run the car everyday, so had to buy a full new exhaust from Mike to get it back on the road.
As far as performance goes, I think my exhaust actually allowed it to rev cleaner as it really used to sing, but might be a little down on torque at the lower end. (this could be down to poor carb tuning however and it certainly a step different from the standard exhaust.
Make me an offer as I need it gone
