[kennydd]

Good ty, the sound is realy amazing for 15€ in material costs.

Hi folks,

can anybody tell the exact diameter of the pipe... I measured 60mm outside but how thick are walls??

Thanks,

Oli

 

[Drew200]

It's 2mm wall thickness. 58mm internal and 60 mm external

 

[marshall]

Thats 1mm wall thickness :/

 

[Drew200]

Haha yea that's what I meant 1mm wall thickness sorry.

 

[Buechsen Gustl]

DANG, I was just happy for 11 minutes because I already got one with 2mm thickness... I think this one will be put in the bin :-(

Alrighty then, let's purchase a 1mm pipe

Thanks lads...

I havent got the money for a full system.. Would this be a good starting point for more noise in a 200? Also worried that it could be too loud (drones) when im driving normally?

Thanks

 

[Willis]

Yeah it does exactly that, more noise at barely any cost.

I didn't think it was too drones although it is loader. If you don't like it then it's not a huge job to have the silencer welded back in anyway, so it's completely reversible. You may notice a bit of a flatspot after doing it though, it's very low in the rev range and if you're a smooth driver then you'll notice it less than somebody who is point and squirt.

Took the mid section silencer out of mine, flat spot was horrendous, just pottering around town (between 2-3 thousand rpm) just bogged down all the time, dont do it!! Now got the K-tec, soooo much better, no flat spot, so much more responsive

 

[ECG1000]

Anyone got pics of underneath the car with the silencer removed?

Only had the 200 a couple of months and want this done!

 

[deadmau5]

Go on Fernandez' project thread, there is a picture near the end.

 

[ricks-197sport]

I had mine replaced with a stainless pipe, and i have got used to the flat spot issue and dont notice it now.
This is just a cheap way to make it sound abit nicer, best to get a performance system.

 

[ECG1000]

Can anyone recommend a good place to get this done in Leeds please?

 

[Tree200]

Booked In for today! Can't wait!

Update: amazing! Can't really notice the flat spot any more than normal, just feels abut different but manageable!

Shoul be doing this next weekend at Prospeed, Cardiff - just waiting for my mate to give the nod to book his meg 225 in at the same time and Charlie will do a deal for the pair of us - welded in, not sleeved though

just did mine today , well worth it , 30 quid , bloke i know makes stainless exhaust , was worth it just for the spin in his cosworth powered mk1 escort , good day and cracking job , and no real flat spot
