yeah c what prices u can get mate! i`d b interested.
depends how loud they are. if they are quieter than my ktec one i may be interested.
I'll be up for one my bearded friend.
I know K-Tec is a Tiger system... Tiger(Stainless Steel Exhaust Ltd) have a contract with K-Tec and will not sell to anybody else...
But good luck with the group boy, if the club can help out in anyway please feel free ton get in touch.

shop boy if i get enough interest i was going to ask if they could be brought through the club just so that people know its legit and im not running off with their money !
you'll be doing well to make it quieter than the K-Tec whilst keeping it straight through. I fitted a silencer 50% longer in the tunnel and it sounded the same, I then added a big fat silencer where the fuel tank is, and that sorted it. There just isn't space up front for a decent silencer.
I'd have thought there would be interest in a 2 1/2" rear exit that's 'quiet'. We'll see what happens at Mallory if they get the noise tester out.
imo the 2.5" rear exit system sounds a better idea
sideys are annoyingly loud.
ok i will look into both then ! Any particular makes to avoid ?
get someone to bend pipes at cost effective pricepowerflow ?
would be best to have some one with background to develope such exhaust and have one built after intial testing, for noise / power / and wow factor
i'd be intrested in a new onesomething i have toyed with the idea of also would be best to have down pipe as opition.
Tiny and myself know somebody how would make us one , will have a chat and go from there !
mr cooke just made a good point about 2 1/2 inch rear exit, there are no off the shelf ones yet there are tons of sideys around. i would deffo have a rear exit 2 1/2 and i know a few other locals would too.
I had a Tiger 2.5" rear exit system on my raider. It was apparently a one-off jobby at the time (this is going back a long while ago), but I'm led to believe they will fabricate them if you're prepared to pay.
You might be able to bag a batch of 5/10, say, if you get enough interest. Should imagine you could probably wangle a bit of a discount then as well.
Failing that, the only other off-the-shelf 2.5" rear exit system I know of is GT Tuning's jobby.
I've asked fabricators and they've all refused saying it'll knock or just won't fit. They were just not interested.
I however bought a custom made one from 5 Alive in Lewisham which I never fitter as I've the power flow sidey from K-Tec and didn't want to risk compromising the power. Label has come off so I can't tell who made it.
Haywood and Scott in Essex probably would probably make one / some though, but not cheap.
You will be wanting only mandrel bends, not the rubbish squashed bends?
scorpian used to make a 2 inch, 2 1/4 inch and a 2 1/2 inch rear exit exhausts.
the problem is that when the tube goes over the top of the trailing arm area, there just isnt enough room, and it will knock....
I expect the 9.8mm lift in the spec isn't including clearance's ?Originally Posted by Sparkie
Mine didn't...
oops, wrong thread for me.
The Scorpions were only 1 3/8" or so through the silencer, even the 2 1/2".
my 2.5" exhaust does'nt knock either!

Mine does..
I may be interested in a 2.5" Side Exit if their was a Group Buy.
Im going to speak to him about a custom one for my 11 as due to the extra length, I dont want the exhaust coming out underneath the front door lol
Good idea Tiny Tim
5hitpot made a sidey for his 5 about 2 months ago,it cost him less than £20! he done the welding & fitting himself so that kept the cost down.
In stainless with a slincer? Have a word in his shell-like then dear boy.

possibly be interested in a group buy
yeah and tried selling it to me on his car, and it put me off the whole car as it was a pole with a bag load of weld on it.
it done the job!! that's all that matters
i'l ask,but i dont like your chances as his nipper has just been born
tim .. 6f6 sidey on his 11 was a legend
Indeed it was. ign off, ign on POPtim .. 6f6 sidey on his 11 was a legend
like this...............
this a 5 sidey with no modding, all i have done is added 2 bobbin hangers to the floor
For me personally, that comes out too far forward on the 9/11. I'd want mine exiting further toward the back.
But im just a picky sod

Tiny if you make it longer to exit right infront of the rear wheel you can fit a "big fat silencer" right underneath the rear seat
I did notice there was more room there, however... would it not just be easier to put a smaller one in the 'transmission' tunnel? Why on earth would I want a BIG FAT silencer?New poster! (less than 10 posts)

my big fat silencer is in addition to the one I have in the transmission tunnel. That was the only way to make it sound like a car, not a tractor

the best sidey i had was on mine/tinys old 21t....where did that one come from tim as that one was awesome....i miss it and the car
Mee too mate, she was a sturdy girl.
Sidey was a mish-mash. The main system was part of a 'Prima Scorpion grp A' racing system for the 21, the end pipe and silencer (which didnt actually silence it lol) was added at a later date by a mate at TopGear in St Albans (Powerflow).

ah so thats why it was so loud then
Well, lets just say, a 3" system with a 3" internal bore silencer is err... pointless
sounds good to meWell, lets just say, a 3" system with a 3" internal bore silencer is err... pointless

my bro's just have one made at powerflow... was difficult to bend the 2.5 at the correct angle to go around the tank, but they did it, and it looks pretty trickimo the 2.5" rear exit system sounds a better idea
sideys are annoyingly loud.

sideys are annoyingly loud.lol at my original comment, i changed my mind pretty quick as your bros sidey is now mine
Only just spotted this thread. Id be interested in a 2.5 rear exit system. As mentioned probably best to get powerflow to make one on a car, then they just copy a load up. Mandrel bent ofcourse, with a big join at the elbow, i have a bigger downpipe, ktec or similar jobby and its about 2.5inch, but then where it joins the scorpion the flange on the scorpion is pretty thin!
Anyone used ktecs 2.5 inch system?

tone deaf.....
i got a scorp 2.5 and your right,the inside dia is alot smaller, but.. on idle and off boost it isnt loud, i cant hear it with the window up,
but when boosting it does sound nice, used to be one around sevenoaks years ago and that had a power flow and it sounded terrible, just sounded like no exhaust
tho id like a bigger dia exhaust, would 3" be huge?
yeah im also interested.
ive jumped in on the group buy fora 3inch 1piece downpipe and was thinking about getting a 3inch side exit made up but no silencers.
opinion?
cheers.
