Exhausts

[Crispywombat]

Hi,

Does anyone have any good/bad experience with exhaust suppliers, I want to replace mine with a stainless and was after a bit of info of what other people use or recommend. I've priced up a rimmer bros one, I've bought from these before and was fine with the kit but Double S come in at a similiar price.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Rob

i would recomend the D44 compitition one. if not that then make your own :D

The Double S one without a centre silencer is pretty good - I've had one for a couple of years now, it sounds a bit throatier but not annoyingly so and it seems to make the engine a bit more flexible at low revs.

im runnig the double S sports system aswell, i can highly recomend it

ive also removed the cat, which also makes a really good difference, not too noisey, just nice and throaty, and really free revving

The double S don't dop a sports one for the V8 if it's on carbs, only the injection so it would have to be the standard one, rimmer do a sports one though :twisted:

I got a one-off custon job made up in stainless for 230 quid fitted - center box only, no rear (sick of smashing it against stuff), life-time guarentee, perfect fit and someone else did all the work........

Mine was from RMS in Prestwick, but there are places like them all over the country - also just had one made up for wifey's MR2 - Toyota wanted £500 for a rear section, I got RMS to make up a new one from the down-pipe back in stainless for 230 quid!  Bargin.

Hang on, the Rimmer's sports one has 4 branch headers, so why can't you fit it to a carb model?

If it's downpipes and system only then I'd suggest (given it's the last exhaust you'll buy ) that you get hold of a pair of EFi headers (manifolds) and fit an EFi system.  The exhaust is a big part of where the extra power comes from.

I've a Rimmer's sytem on both Blue and the LSE, they are fine, fit well and sound good.  the LSE will cruise quietly dispite being a big old engine.  Smaller V8s (3.5) tend to burble more than the 3.9 and 4.2 anyway.

JJ Saul has a monster stainless system on both his, I don't know where it came from but it makes more noise than mine as you'd expect.

On the TDis I've fitted Double S.  The Disco one is half the proice of a RRC one which is unfair, so I fitted a Disco one to one of the Rangies ;)
One of those is a 1 box system, the other a 2 box.  You can hear the difference if you look for it, whether it makes any difference in performance I can't tell, but I'm tuning it for economy.

What I would say is the Rimmer's sytem for the V8 ends in a straight pipe and is much shinier than the tail pipe on the Double S system, which bends down on the TDi, is bigger pipe and unpolished.
