Has anyone had any experience of this system?

Bunglin, this is the Peco exhaust, just there ebay name, if you want one ring them direct, ask for Dave, mention LEC & you should get bit of discount !

Cheers - I might do that.

Just trying to acertain whether it would be worth it. They claim it gives a big performance increase - which I understand can be the case. But there are potential problems with boost creep etc when fitting a new exhaust. Does this one cause these problems?

Thanks

Bunglin,
Any large exhaust will induce boost creep; that's why they claim extra power - it's derived from the boost creep effect. What matters is whether or not it leads to activation of the fuel-cutoff/limp-home limit.

Some cars get noticable creep (ie cut-out), some don't. It might be the car or the driving technique. It can be mitigated to some extent by fitting a mountain chip which raises the fuel cut-out level a bit, or by waste-gate porting which is a bigger job which I don't fancy myself.

Have a look through some of the Peco exhaust and boost creep threads,
for instance this one.
