Anyone Got An Afterburner Vortex?

[BalliSTIc]

Just wondered if anyone's running one of these... am doing a bit of research towards a wee project.

Anyone know 1) how long the box itself is, and 2) how long is the tip?

Many thanks

Glyn

Hi

On a 05 Newage, straight angle box it measures

12"on the box

Tip is 8"

Diameter of the pipe at that you see 4 3/4

Hope that helps you decide.

Cheers

John,

is that a random fact that you happen to know off by heart?!

Cheers mate... but am afraid I have recruited your sterling efforts in vain with this particular box...

Aye... am just at the "wouldn't it be nice if..." stage at the moment, but have just realised that the Vortex pipework is all 2.5"... whereas the STI hatches run 3" standard (unless have got this REALLY wrong, but I don't think so!)

Thanks for the help... sorry guys!

Aye, and in fact I prefer the twin exit version... but that would just be FAR too straight forward! *chuckle*

I was looking more at building a custom centre exit zorst which would be more or less straight through... just to be a bit different. It's a kind-of "in-my-nature-to-be-different-and-generally-awkward" thang... tends to be expensive too unfortunately!

Oh, and yes I WOULD be intending to mod the rear bumper accordingly! *lol*

You best bet would be to speaking to

http://www.meercat-exhausts.com/

or another custom exhaust builder to make exactly what you need.

Had thought of them, but figured on doing a bit of legwork myself first.

...but am now beginning to doubt myself... any gurus out there to clarify this? *embarassed sniffle*

There is now a vortex r that i think uses 3" pipe work.

Its available from scoobyworld.

I have a degree in knowing loads of things that are utterly useless lol!!!

Hope you get the zorst sorted soon Glyn.

cheers
