col666 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I've signed up for the AndyF re-map group buy thing so I now need to get the other bits in order before getting a date. I will prob get Meercat to do me a 3" downpipe and centre section but need some recommendations on back boxes. I dont want some loud booming thing and definately nothing like a drainpipe, i.e. afterburner's or anything like that. 3" tailpipe is enough for me. Not sure its possible with the 2.5 STI engine but something with a real scooby dugga dugga soundtrack like a proper rally car. I remember hearing some old classic group N cars with tiny tailpipes sounding awesome. Video clips would be handy of what you have! Cheers, Col. Link to comment
dan_jess Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hi Col, if your getting the rest of the system knocked up at Meerkat, they will be able to a backbox to the style your after and noise level Link to comment
StrikE Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hi Col, if your getting the rest of the system knocked up at Meerkat, they will be able to a backbox to the style your after and noise level That's where i am going [Meercat], dont think i will make the remap though Simples Link to comment
mctwistuk Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 i would recommend meercat for the backbox as well. They will taylor make the backbox to your requirements. I opted for a not too loud version which sounds great. Chris Link to comment
sti_steve Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 How much are their systems for a 2.5" downpipe, cat pipe and centre section? - All decat? I don't need a backbox so just the above...anyone got a rough idea of price from experience? Link to comment
scooby222 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 maybe a bit bigger tailpipe than your after Col but i love my roger clark motorsport system,4.5" slash cut but looks much smaller than the tsl firestorm i had-though it also sounded immense,very wrc howl ish actually i think tsl do a 3" group n style as well Link to comment
nkwrx Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Col, Meerkat did mine exactly how I wanted it. Not too loud( I'm 46 ) but loud and throaty enough! 4 inch tail pipe but plenty of choice in lots of sizes too Link to comment
jimser Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 agree with others,why not just get meercat to do the lot and pick your own backbox style/volume How much are their systems for a 2.5" downpipe, cat pipe and centre section? - All decat?I don't need a backbox so just the above...anyone got a rough idea of price from experience? somewhere in the region of £350-£400 Link to comment
sti_steve Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 somewhere in the region of £350-£400 Thats for the reply Jimser. I take it thats supplyed and fitted? I was just going to get the downpipe cat pipe and centre section from scoobyworld totaling £367.47 but thats just supplied. Would the meerkat system be better or is it much of a muchness?

gus the bus Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Col. Group N back box style is what you want or a Ninja style both very nice kit and perfectly acceptable sound. Also, I could get Paul to supply you a 3" pipework Sportcat and centre section if you are interested? Wuz has fitted a couple of Pauls Sportcat DP's (and he is about to fit another) and said they were a perfect fit Gus Link to comment

fai17 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I have no idea what yous are talking about! Link to comment
WUZ Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Highly recommend Pauls Sportcats! The 3" Revolution system (Full Decat) is a GREAT piece of kit too!. Link to comment
Wagon_Mark Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I had a system on my classic built to suit by C+C in hillington and couldnt fault it BUT.. Ive got The Blitz nurspec system on my hawkeye, and cant help the heavy foot and window down even in the slightest of tunnels ! Best exhaust ive ever had on a car and the build quality is second to none. Would definatly suggest having a look at it... Link to comment
col666 Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Thanks for the help. Whats the story with fitting the exhaust a while before the re-map date? will the car run ok? I assume it will probably overboost and run lean or rich??? Link to comment
