Tomorrow I am at my mates place, he builds exhausts.
The plan was to modify a standard downpipe/x pipe I had bought and make some back boxes, but I was trawling old ebay and found a nice supersprint race for sale, it was advertised a few times for 800 ish, no bites, then 700 no bites, then 600 and so on etc etc, I ended up getting it for £400:smokin:
It was clean and almost brand new, bonus.

So tonight I gave it a quick polish, see pics below, mattcslnumbnut style;)

So tomorrows plan, modify the spare down pipes/x pipe I bought, then mate them to my nice new shiny supersprint. Keeping my full standard exhaust to put on if such occasion should arise.

Cost- £100 for spare down pipe x pipe ( incidently is new;))
£400 supersprint race back boxes (like new)
£100 to modify the down pipe-decat etc

£600 all in, bargain IMO, far far cheaper than a akro:bigcry:, but hopefully it will sound nearly as good. Hopefully it will sound frickin mega.

Sound clips to follow shortly guys:smokin:

E92 is so much simpler (and cheaper) than e46.

I saw one being put on a Simpsons last year Lawsy and I sounded mental :thumbs:

Awesome, that will sound lovely and top quality system as well.

Great find and that price too Lawsy I would have loved an exhaust for mine, looking forward to the video's :drool:

The plan was to dyno before and after to see if it gains any, but it will be as fast and as powerful as it will be, regardless of if I dyno it:hahaha:
I am not going to do any remaps etc etc as I want warranty in tact, so more for sound purposes.
If it frees up a few ponies (as ss claim)(plus my decat should yield a few) its a bonus.

No AP's going on, just upgrading the pads to xp10's to see how they handle it.
Going for a ground control kit plus geo.
Pilot cup sport tyres.

Thats my mod list.

I'm at croft in june, so will see how the big girl goes :smokin:

Nice Shane. That really should be the way they sound standard.

Your making me think about something myself.

F*ck! I promised myself I wouldn't mod mine!:banghead::whistle:

Firstly: Hello please!!!! :smt039 Been working hard mate. We're always busy but this is our mental busy part of the year. No time for play.:bigcry:

Would this be a certain exhaust sat in a little garage in south wales that you can get for cost.

If it's the very same one the, ant offered it me for a good price compared to retail, but it's still mega dough for what it is. For me anyhow, I could not justify that amount for what is essentially two pipes and two boxes.

I am making a jig so we should have some in the coming weeks, £500 for the back boxes will be our price.

The supersprint race is approx 1100 new
