    Re: side exits

    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.

    Re: side exits

    get someone to bend pipes at cost effective price powerflow ?

    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 one something i have toyed with the idea of also would be best to have down pipe as opition.

    Re: side exits

    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.

    Re: side exits

    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.

    Re: side exits

    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.

    Re: side exits

    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....

    Re: side exits

    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?

    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

    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).

    Re: side exits

    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?

    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?
