Ailwyn,

Are you still interested?

Geoff

Thanks Ailwyn, yep still have the pre cat but no main cat.

count me in chaps as and when we get our numbers sorted.

Think i'll be a postal job as I live in Essex.

Am I correct in thinking it's just the case of getting a local firm to simply fit the new system?

cheers

Nick

I'm in. With fitting and rolling road too

Are we up to 5 yet? Who's organizing this anyway? :-D

by **GeoffSmith** » Fri 21.04.2006, 21:33

Well I did offer to but if anyone else is volunteering, I don't mind standing down. Thought not!

I'll post a list soon and also PM everyone who showed an interest to see if there are any more takers.

Johnbenk (or anyone else with a Peco exhaust),

Any feedback on the exhaust that we should be aware of?

Geoff

by **Dico** » Fri 21.04.2006, 21:41

Hmmm

2 1/4" 2 1/2"????????? hmmmm :smt102

edit- no feedback required, i just need to make my mind up, and i'm not too good at that

How about setting a reasonable deadline?

by **Monty** » Fri 21.04.2006, 21:46

wonder if we could get 10 ordered if Mr very nice Dave would do it for £250? :smt115

by **GeoffSmith** » Fri 21.04.2006, 21:48

Dico - 22:00 tonight. Alright, when my exhaust bandage gives up.
Monty - it's starting to look like 10 (if you and Dico are in that is)

Not for me thanks. My post was just out of interest. I don't need one at the moment. (Yea, I know, sods law and all that)
Cheers

All:

Please excuse the silly question, but will the Peco exhaust work with a stiffy?

Sincerely,

Algirdas

I've just been quoted £20 for fitting.

Compared to performing contortions and squeezing under the car, getting eyes full of dirt and hands full of cuts, I think it's a no-brainer!

by **Dovey** » Sat 22.04.2006, 15:19

Good man for volunteering Geoff

I'm defo in.
My location is now updated.
I agree the inner tail pipe isn't the most handsome, but better flow is what this exhaust is all about for me so standard is fine. And I have some hammerite somewhere...

7, Jimbo, No fixed abode, Fitted ?

Just post or PM any updates and I'll update and re-post the list.[/quote]

Thats a definate from me and my "tinkerers" horse and cart is firmly grounded in Bury St Edmunds.

Hi

Still having FUN :-D

with my PECO Exhaust.
The sound gets better now that some carbon has began to form on the in side.

It has DEEP throaty sound at tickover and gets better as you floor the gas pedal.

I am pleased with the sound on the Motorway as well. The boost together
with a K&N filter is over 07.5bar.

I will get the car on a Dyno soon to check BHP power output at the wheels
and flywheel.

But recommend to any doubters, DO NOT FIT THIS EXHAUST yourself as you could break a STUD on the TURBO section as you HAVE to heat up the THREE STUDS which bolt on to the TURBO downpipe part.

KWICK FIT only charged me 20 quid.

Cheers

We've got 5 definites already.

If we have any more by next week, I'll get in touch with David to see if there's any scope for further reductions. There are also a few questions mixed up amongst the posts, so I will pull them all together and send a consolidated list to David; if anyone has any more queries, please get them to me asap.

Thanks very much for the feedback John - it all sounds very positive. It looks like some eBayers have fitted their exhausts themselves but two of us have been quoted £20 from different establishments which seems pretty reasonable tome. Two pieces of advice if using Quikfit and the like: 1) Talk to the manager, preferably at a quiet time, and ask for someone experienced to fit it. 2) Don't let the car out of your sight!

Geoff

PS I've asked Stevieshag to let us know how he gets on at Maniflow next week.
