Looks the business mate, a decent looking job.

Do you mind my asking how much it set you back?

[wutang247]

hi mate, it cost 635 all in ,took allday and was worth every penny make ill try get a video up on weekend it sounds awesome ................

[The Flying Moose]

Thanks, I was going to buy a 3" OBX system from the States but the shipping for the item was 400 dollars due to shipping restrictions.

I guess it would be around £400 without a racecat?

[LiamT4]

Thats a good price for a full ss exhaust with race cat.

[BruceT]

Hmmm longlife in Berkley you say? Hmmm you around Bristol area then?

Very good price considering the race cat and labour, may sway me from the American obx

[wutang247]

top engine mount went, and broke flexi on frontpipe, so i fitted a powerflex mount, then shopped around for exhausts, could get front pipe/cat in mild steel for about 200, think more like 350ish off volvo, but longlife was quite good on price, i think catback was around 300ish, so thought what the hell ill do the lot, had to drive around with a blowing frontpipe for a month mind, wasnt a good look lol

I'm in Bradley Stoke.

The Obx is 3" down pipe, no cat and 2.5" from the downpipe. Shipping and import tax make it about £450, plus a race cat, even a cheap one is about £150, plus an 2 hours fitting as the straight flange dp doesn't fit without mods as it's built for left hand drive cars - plus some welding would put it well over £650 and wouldn't be full 3"!

Think I'll give the guys a call, was it the American sounding bloke you dealt with?

[Volvostorm]

Looks great, can't wait to hear the video..................... Need ideas for mine!

[wutang247]

think his name was chris , he drives a audi s4 estate, one off the fitters there, funnily he was the only person there allday, he went all the way through without a lunch break lol, would say excellent service m8 well pleased .......................

[BruceT]

Might get mine done there then and scrap the obx system.

Is yours on the standard 15G turbo and straight flanged turbo out let?

I've only ever had 2.5" stainless decatted system on my previous 850 T5! That use bang like Buggery coming off boost, was insane!

I can only imagine what a full 3 inch system sounds like.

Is it just a single silencer with race cat? Is it 100 cell?

[wutang247]

yh running straight flange 15t, when i get hold off 19t theyll change flange for me, yh its a 100 cell race cat, and its 3inch all the way except where it goes over axle at rear got that little bit 2.5 as i want to lower car, and boy it sounds sweet ............

[BruceT]

Hello, have you managed to get a video/audio clip of how it sounds?

[claymore]

Guys,
My buddy had trouble with them as they built an exhaust for him which failed the sound test at Castle Combe - he specifically told them it was a track day car and waht the regs were. Turned out they did not have a working noise meter and built it "by ear".
Not best pleased, much wrangling later he got an excellent job from Infinity Exhausts in Yate.

I will be using them when my exhaust finally gives up the ghost.

However, I want to get an R/R test done before and after, with and without water injection. Interpro are the local "market leader" - any tips for a good RR service within 40 miles of Bristol? (given that I may need to go there frequently as the mods progress)

Theres a few of us round here - perhaps we should meet up for a beer in the summer?
Good luck all.

I've used infinity on my previous 4 cars, they have recently moved premise so I don't know where they are now.

I'll see what the best price from both is, although Martyn at Infinity is always helpful

There is Powerstation or HLM is a little further
