My baby blows...

Post by Ferg » Mon May 28, 2012 1:53 pm

Got the car out last week for a blat before starting the pre-TT2012 fix-a-thon. Quite chuffed with how throaty it was sounding, until it started to get worse. Turns out the exhuast pipework at the back has gone. It's an original factory option Janspeed job, so it's had a good innings I suppose.

So as I'm already in deep with the Mrs over the various fixes required before the trackday on the 29th, I'm looking to teh SE massive for some suggestions. Will pop a WTD add up in the classifieds, but any recomendations for exhausts etc are all welcome too.


cheers

Thanks I'll give him a bell, need to speak to him anyway.

For the sake of interest, would a larger bore create problems with a standard engine like mine? If I did end up needing needing to buy one, or an option fo a large bore came up, it would be good to know if I could preserve the possibility for an engine conversion later without buying another exhuast.
