Exhaust

[karlj]

Does the 1.0 and 1.3 share the same exhaust system?

 

[pollyp]

yep

 

[karlj]

Cheers pollyp

 

[mckenziecz]

are you sure it the same? I had to angle grind little bit of the flange on the backbox. nothing major though

are you talking about k11 karl?

 

[r-reg-sr]

mckenziecz likes grinding:grinning::grinning:

 

[karlj]

yeah its for a k11 mckenziecz........ i dont mind if it needs a little work to make it fit especially for the price

 

[micra.jas]

No! I was told by Matt Humphries that the Cg13de system is slightly bigger in diamater......(He said its a cheap alternative for more power on a cg10)

:blues:

 

[frank]

the 1.3 midpipe is a different part number on http://nissan4u.com/ (because it has the extra resonator) but the 1.0 and 1.3 back boxes are the same part number tho

 

[karlj]

ahh ok it's just i found this
http://www.peterlloydrallying.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=12&sort=20a&page=3
and at that price i thought it mat be worth "upgrading" the system

 

[frank]

looks the dog.s at that price karl (Y) i wonder what bore it is ?

 

[karlj]

funny you should ask frank, just sent them a message asking

 

[frank]

lol, well the stock system averages 34mm and drops to 31mm in a couple of places :suspect:, yet the 1st cat exit is 40mm
so if this is about 40mm bore throughout, then go for it karl (Y)

 

[karlj]

just gotta wait now for a reply...tick...tock...tick grr wish they'd hurry up

 

[karlj]

Well got a reply off them and the outer bore is 43mm so...

 

[frank]

so.... go for it karl (Y) 40mm bore 3 piece system for £120 FFS

[Noddie]

Thats a bargain! tempted myself

 

[mckenziecz]

i hope you know its catback

 

[frank]

i hope you know its catback

yeh, 1st catback, 2nd decat would be very effective with a modded or cube mani imo
and insurance and emission friendly

 

[mckenziecz]

im confused, there is the first downpipe from the mani on the pic, but it says Micra 1000cc sportex system fits from the cat back free postage on this item

 

[r-reg-sr]

they say its from back of the cat??
you could knock out the cat and have a spare cat for mot

 

[frank]

its the downpipe, midpipe and backbox (from the 1st cat back)

 

[mckenziecz]

its the downpipe, midpipe and backbox (from the 1st cat back)

thought they were talking about the second one. sorry
well, it seems like bargain now.

 

[r-reg-sr]

sweet

 

[micra.jas]

God dam that is cheap....wish id seen this earlier....i wonder if they sell the pieces sepratley...hmmmm??

 

[karlj]

Glad I could help.... Only found out about the company cause they sent a system through the courier company I work for..... as soon as I've got spare cash I'll be getting it all I need then is one of those sexy frankenspeed mani's

 

[karlj]

well thats the system ordered will let ever one know what theyre like also !!FRANK!! how about a mani (Y)

 

[frank]

!!FRANK!! how about a mani (Y)

i had one availiable last week, but it was carried to portugal in a black march tho (i,ll try and get some more karl)

 

[karlj]

heehe thanks frank once they're swapped over you can have my old one if you want

 

[karlj]

:grinning: this turned up today after only ordering it on monday (Y)

 

[frank]

...... first impressions karl ?

 

[karlj]

looks good little scratched up but that could have something to do with the #### that delivered it..... i'll be having words with him when i see him tomorrow (came through who i work for and i didn't even notice it :doh: ) should be on the car on friday :grinning: just need cat gasket.... oh and the packing tape they used is still attached i places

BUT i am impressed with the company as a whole

 

[Noddie]

does the bore stay 40mm all the way through? or does it shrink near the connection to the back box/car/ big bends?
looking good man, looking forward to hearing what you think when its on the car...

 

[karlj]

Not sure on the bore yet will measure it tomorrow, will be fitting it on Friday so I'll let everyone know what it's like then and I'll make sure I get loads of pics

 

[karlj]

well i've measured the bore (crudely) and heres the good news

down pipe__(cat)_60mm__(mid)_40mm

mid pipe__(down)_45mm__(back)_40mm

back box__(mid)_45mm__(tip)_50mm

all measurements were taken from the inner edge using a tape measure starting from 100mm (the way i've always done it),even the bends look to be continuous so it looks like it is a real bargain

 

[Noddie]

great stuff. might have to get me one...
edit: let us know how it sounds when you get it on (Y)

 

[mckenziecz]

And is that backbox straight through?

 

[karlj]

And is that backbox straight through?

if you mean second de-cat then yes

great stuff. might have to get me one...
edit: let us know how it sounds when you get it on (Y)

should have it fitted tomorrow (Y)

 

[karlj]

sorry mckenziecz me being silly just had a torch down the hole and yeah looks straight through to me

 

[mckenziecz]

thanks, thats where lot of the restriction is on OEM. (Y)top man

 

[karlj]

I'll put a pic up of the inside of both back boxes tomorrow to show the difference

 

[r-reg-sr]

brilliant!!!!!

 

[karlj]

heres the pics of the inside of the back boxes left is standard right is sportex

 

[frank]

perforated tube karl eh (like a cherry bomb, or gun silencer)

 

[karlj]

actually was quite funny taking the pics the phone you see in the first pic fell into the sportex

 

[Seb_]

lol
Nice one Karl, bad thing is that you give me bad idea$$$$$$$ (need to save cash) ! So how does it sound ?

 

[Noddie]

It will be very loud! its the only thing that puts me off tbh, you do tend to get alot of negative attention driving a loud micra around. atleast with an induction kit its silent enless your at WOT. Still think il get one though

 

[martinb]

Ed buy it and I'll swap it for my standard system !! I'll even paint it black and put ' martex ' stickers on it

My systems add 45 bhp............ Honest!
