Scorpion exhaust ..too loud maybe?

[Mckellar]

I just saw on ebay the one u won there.

I know a guy personally with a mk3 golf gti 2.0 16v
its a deep burble that comes off of his.

 

[crezz]

cool, long as its not like any of the barryboys i dont mind! haha... a deep burble is good

 

[Boi Ninja]

hehe well done crezz ...let me know how it goes mate. will need a sound clip when its done mate, im kinda clueless with janspeed. might come down and visit you. gonna be down south on friday.

 

[crezz]

will do mate, what exhaust rubber will be best to use? new standard? sorry for partially hi jacking your thread! lol

 

[Boi Ninja]

nahh its good ...the thread is all yours now hehe.

 

[CraigW]

but their like 5 years old now? ...whoo hoo i sorted out ALL the banging from my exhaust and it only cost me £5 mwhaha, the clamp needed redoing ...realigned the exhaust, done.

I wonder if thats what needs done with mine, as my exhaust is banging when i turn left. I will have to try and get it jacked up and have a look.

 

[Dave_R]

surely if a mk3 cupra exhaust fits the mk2 the after market ones will too?

Yes it probably will fit BUT the Mk3 is a turbo and the exhaust system is designed for a turbo, the Mk2 is n/a!

dave_cymru what exhaust do u have?

I had a custom one made by Prospeed, exhaust is good, sounds good but I'm not too fussed on the company anymore. I have problems with him all the time but everyone else will rate him lol.

 

[crezz]

very true

 

[Boi Ninja]

sorry but why would it be different if its running a turbo? wouldnt it just be a tougher exhaust?

 

[Boi Ninja]

oh wait i get it ...a bigger bore so more air going out, right? that might not be efficient for a n/a

Well my valver was running with a cat back original mk3 cupra exhaust and it seemed to run fine. And if it did make a performance difference (good or bad) then I sure didn't notice it.

I also have a original mk3 cupra cat back exhaust and it is running fine. Havent had any issues at all with it. One thing is that it has made my little 1.4 more responsive when you hit the accelerator now. It responds so much better. Its more fun to drive than ever.

The standard mk3 exhaust is the same bore as the mk2 exhaust but a Miltek or any other aftermarket systems is a bigger bore, hence better power gains from using aftermarket exhuasts.

Too big of a bore for an n/a isn't good.

so looks like a custom jobbie, what would be the ideal size of a n / a bore?

2" or 2.25"? ...if the turbo ones are 2.5"

 

[Dave_R]

n/a needs a 2.25" bore I think.... turbo you just want to get the gases out with an n/a you want some back pressure.

Me and my dad fitted the janspeed on. really easy to do. just got an irratating knocking but we know what it is just have to sort it after xmas.

 

[Boi Ninja]

looks good mate, how much does that stick out by? did u cut the bumper?

 

[crezz]

it dosent stick out to much, that picture makes it look quite extruding but it aint really. had to trim the black valance very slighty, that was it

 

[Mckellar]

sticks out a fair bit...

no way of putting the backbox pipe further into the centre section ?

 

[Boi Ninja]

looks nice crezz, u notice any improvements? ...and how loud?
