what exhaust?

[rew]

I need a decent( loud back box for my Renault 5 gordini Turbo, I'm having the down pipe and mid section made up but will need a back box to be made in to it, what are you guys running as I want a nice wastegate and on boost sound need It no bigger then 3 inch!

most people go for a side exit, where the join is under the n/s door....

Nice - Shame it's not a Gordini ;)

I like the side exit would it be hard to do? What mounts will it use and what silencer?

[R5TURBORON]

I know it's not a gordini ;) mate mate works at a bespoke exhaust place in Nottingham make full systems from scratch for any cars.

what does that system sound like though? video :)

Looks very nice, i have the same exit on mine, the older scorpion 3inch, shame the pipework on the rest of it is on 2inch though. I would like it 2.5inch

some use a small ford silencer under the sill, others use the spacer under the inner wing to mount a silencer. you use the OE mounts - the bobbins drilled into the floor.

do it mate. Car looks lovely, love them in white!

You should see how much your mate is prepared to make them for forum members, i searched for a while for a 2.5inch rear exit system, ktec did one but i dont like giving money to ktec and it was pricey so i stuck with the scorpion

[adscan]

would your mate be able to make up a system that looks a little more oe? i am after a quality quiet exhaust.

[Brigsy]

Side exit with no silencer would be badass on a dini :agree:

[rew]

It will still have a silencer even if it's a smalle, as Iv heard it can damage the Turbo without any back pressure?

He can make them to what ever spec u want and looks. Has different shapes and size tips. He makes exhausts from scratch but would need the car and do it why your there did mine in a morning

I could ask but he would have to copy mine I know he likes to make them for each car so it fits perfect

No need for any silencer, its a myth mate. You can run with no exhaust with no problems

:agree:

An old engine guru once told me the best exhaust to make power on a turbo engine is about 2 foot long, straight pipe, 3 inch dia (varies depending on turbo size) coming off the rear at 20 degrees :) nice and loud

[rew]

What about the law:/

[Brigsy]

Man up and do it. Even one silencer is borderline legal, its old the police wont care providing your not sitting in mcds revving it for hours :wasntme:

:agree::laugh:

I'm a bit worried come mot time though if it's too loud I may put a box in but empty so it looks like Iv bothered lol

[Brigsy]

Run it up with no exhaust on to find out how loud it will be :) keep the standard exhaust for mot If needs be ;)

[rew]

I'm thinking of as full system want to keep it looking originalish so gonna get a stainless downpipe and midsection and a baffle free back box ;) and find an mot centre that appreciate an old car ;)
