Removing Silencer on a 200?

[rja cup]

How much has charlie quoted?

I get my exhausts done there

He is doing my 197 and a mates 225 meg for £50 each - welding in the pipe, not putting a sleeve on

Mine has flanges on it it's not welded

Got pics? I may copy it

That's how I'd want mine done too.

Did charge much?

 

[IanRS200]

Charged 80 so a bit more than usual but was an impulse buy! Ha! Ill try and get some photos when it's on stands at the weekend when I'm cleaning it! A flange either side with exhaust sealant foam on either end is the way he did it

Anybody had this done in Lincolnshire?

 

[RicheyRoo]

Am away to get mine done also, does anyone know what the diameter of the exhaust is? my mates a welder so he was just gonnna weld a straight pipe replacing the silencer, but seeing your idea with flanges i may go down that route

i am tempted to get this done , take the sliencer out, just a bit concerned with having a flat spot after , is worth getting a remap after , please bear with me , am kinda new to this ;/

Flat spot is only noticable if you're in the wrong gear or driving like a lemon.

I've had my silencer out for a while now, sounds nice.

I just bought a section of pipe to do mine this weekend. Im in Lincoln

 

[IanRS200]

Not sure about the driving like a lemon comment as I find mine extremely noticeable now compared to standard, appreciate you shouldn't be flat footed an should be gradual on the throttle etc but most people I know don't have track training and just lash it straight down! Mine bunny hops more now between 2-3k revs, not all the time just occasionally.

 

[steveclio200]

had mine done the other day , no probs at all , well worth the 30 quid ( mate makes exhausts ) and a mess about in his cosworth powered mk1 escort too , flat spot not really noticeable to be honest .

 

[Jburgess455]

Has any body had this done in norfolk ?

 

[(M)Gradidge]

Does anybody know what the flat spot is like when its remapped? Mine is mapped already so im hoping it shouldn't be too bad.

 

[Chris_200CUP]

well had quote today to do mine but flange it like Ian's... 200 quid .. Think may do it myself! lol

Anyone else done there own?

Measured the original diameter and got two measurement's of 56 and 58 mm either side the silencer. So all need is 60mm pipe with thickness of 1.5 -2mm and some mickalor claps , exhaust sealant and away we go.

 

[Jburgess455]

Let us now how it goes ? Do you have a ramp

 

[Chris_200CUP]

do have set ramp's that will get car high enough to get underneath

 

[Jburgess455]

I'm considering giving it ago but worried about warenty

 

[mitch1990]

I'm considering giving it ago but worried about warenty

I've had mine removed and had warranty work done no problems at all mate

Same as me. If the engine decides to die then I bet they would blame the exhaust mod and leave you with no engine.
