New Large Bore Exhaust by PECO for S1 Elans with no flat bit

[David]

The reason for the inner tail is to bring the exhaust gas to the end without upsetting the flow and creating a turbulance in the tail.
If you prefer not to have the inner tail then that's no problem, or if you prefer a different tail pipe we have a large selection to choose from.

Thanks for the constructive feedback David.

Definitely the same exhaust being offered on ebay, called Cybox, even the pics are the same. On ebay they are being sold at £325 & when i emailed them, they said they would fit it for that price !. Must admit it don't sound to bad ?

Thanks for the constructive feedback David.

nice subtle 'double entendre' Sy !!

Might I add a life-learned-lesson? The pipe is stainless & holds up well, but the welds are just steel & I assure you the welds will rust quicky. While you still have the system off the car tape off around the welds and spray several coats of high-temp paint (as close a colour to the stainless as possible) on the welds to keep your whole exhaust looking nice.

[David]

just like to point out that the welds on our stainless systems are stainless and will not rust.
the only mild steel part on our system is the flange, the reason for this is that stainless flanges are prone to cracking.

Also like to say that this system does fit an S2 and it will still pass the MOT emission test providing your pre-cat is in working order.

David, can you make different end sections for the back box, not sure if i'm keen on the oval ?

David,

What about doing us LEC`ers a discount on the Exhaust system fitted and not fitted as i`ll be after a system hopefully in a months time once i get the gearbox and stiffy fitted.

ps i`ll be after a 2 1/2" straight through system with just the oval pipe (with out the inner one )

[stevieshag]

yeah i too would be interested in a 2 1/2 inch stainless for my SE, so if we are looking at discount for a group buy, consider me in..

2.5" with oval (no inner pipe) tail for my S2, as long as the price is right

And me (Dico SE)

2 1/2 is the way to go

[David]

We would certainly be able to offer a discount for an LEC group buy.
Various tail pipe designs are available.
The system is 2.25".
2.5" system is not available.

PS. we can also offer a Rolling Road day if anyone is interested.
£25 per car, minimum of 10 cars, maximum of 25.
Only on a saturday.

[ailwyn]

2.25" is not the end of the world.

Can you please post an indication of the group buy price so that we can decide. Might be worth putting up a list if there is going to be a variance based on numbers e.g. 10 = £x each; 7 = £x each; 5 = £x each.....

Ailwyn

[Dico]

2.25" is not the end of the world.

Tiz for me. Any future upgrades may benefit from a 2 1/2" exhaust and i only want to do it once.
Are you sure you can't acomodate for people intrested in a 2 1/2" set up David?

Mine or Montys Elan may be available as a guinea pig.

Note - Many 2 1/2" systems have been fitted previously on Elans.


Rolling road sounds interesting.

[stevieshag]

yeah i am with dico, if we are going to upgrade might aswell go for the bigger bore 2 1/2 inch system as only want to upgrade once.

[JIMBO]

I will be needing an exhaust later this year, and would also prefer to do it once. If 2.5" is the best way to go then count me in too. (that's just 1 exhaust)
Jim

[Dico]

1) PaulP - 2.5"
2) stevieshag - 2.5"
3) Monty - 2.5"
4) Ailwin - 2.5" or 2.25"
5) Dico - 2.5"
6) JIMBO - 2.5"

Got to be worth a go David?

Any more intrested parties please cut/paste and add your name to the above.

[Paul.P]

Did i say 2.5 ?, wouldn't mind though if this goes ahead ?

[nitroman]

I had boost creep with the stock turbo at sea-level with Bill's 2.5" IsuzuPerformance system & no cats at all. This was solved by using a single 2 1/4" gasket at one junction. It was also solved by moving to 1000-feet above sea-level! *

In any case, there is a difference between 2.5" & 2.25".


On another point Porsche uses a round inner outlet on their rather unique oval exhaust outlets, so I have no doubt the PECO man is correct that it smoothes the exhaust-flow.


* - That is why I am installing the larger T-bird compressor-wheel & housing which is a bolt-on upgrade to the stock turbo. It flows 388CFM of air vs only 200CFM for the stock turbo. I'm also machining the wastegate outlet from 16mm to 22mm to make sure I don't re-introduce boost creep again. This seems like a logical upgrade since it is the most you can do to the turbo without having to install larger injectors or fiddle with the ECU. Also there are several companies which supply the wheel & housing as a kit as it is the ultimate IHI RHB5 upgrade for a host of cars using this turbo.

Hi all

I drive an M100 as my everyday car so the guinea pig is not a problem.

The problem is at this moment we do not have the tooling to bend 2.5" T304 stainless tube on our mandrill bender. We can bend it on a compression bender but as you probably know this reduces the diameter of the pipe on the bend making the whole exercise pointless. It is possible that in the near future we will have the tooling to do this, I will keep you informed.
