im currently on the hunt for a genome exhaust to finish the look of the car off, i have found two but for the money there rough

jake

 

Had a gander around your car jake it really is something special mate.... Nice to catch up with you too

Great pics

Martin

 

Cheers pal.

New toy.

 

Get yourself and the little man some ear defenders jake haha! They're a great sounding exhaust though love mine can get a little tiring though but am sure you'll love it

Martin

 

All I'll say is it will be loud...very loud. Same on mine with no cats and it really screams

 

I have a resonated centre section.

Hoping it takes the edge off, I've not paid for it yet. This is just a tester lol.

 

Not a chance, just makes it less droney - I do miss mine but I don't miss my ears bleeding after a quick run out

 

Hmmmm.

Also got chance of an afterburner vortex too.

 

Blitz will be fine, twin scroll sound doesnt drone as much as the UK cars scooby burble!!

Would prefer a more standard-ish looking exhaust though, think you got it spot on with the oem look, which is giving me idea's for my next car.

 

I beg to differ,I had exactly the same exhaust on my old v3 sti (nur spec R with no cats) and the twinscroll is louder. My neighbours can vouch for that.

 

I know about the overall look and the current cobra, there's just not enough noise from it.

I fitted the resonated centre to remove the tinny rasp, this really made the cobra quiet.

The nur spec is just an itch I need to scratch, let's face it I'm not going to any more shows with it, Nd I can keep the cobra too,

 

You might like it,I love mine. Some people think it's too loud but the louder the better for me

 

Well the nurspec was loud, so that's going back to its owner.

What's a bit quieter with a deep sound, the miltek was too drone/raspy

 

Tsl group n? Don't even know if you can get those for newage

Joe

 

Found an afterburner lol.

Going to try that. Lol

 

At least your the go to guy regarding exhaust noise now

 

I know,

The japspeed down pipe is tinny and rasy not pleasing to the ear, so I had a custom resonated centre section made, this stops that but makes the cobra sound like a prodrive, while the look of the Exhaust is perfect, the sound isn't.

The miltek was UN resonated and just bland, the nurspec nice and bassy just that bit too loud, hoping the vortex to be the middle ground.

 

Sure there's a genome for sale on eBay something like 250 quid not to bad cond either

Steve

 

Really like your car Jake. Can see a lot of time and effort has been put into this.

 

I know ste I've just bought it lol.

Been after one for ages.

 

Thought you might of done lol

Steve

 

That's the same genome that someone on the form tried to sell me last week for £450

 

Personally I think the genome is over rated, don't see the attraction thats why i sold mine. looks good with STI embossed on it mind.

You need a fujitsubo, quality exhaust system.

Joe

 

Genome or Prodrive, raspy above 4k rpm and sounding like a V8 on tickover the former, burble the latter.

The beauty of the Genome is that it is quiet but above 4k rpm it sounds like a jet engine on take off.

 

Yeah he tried to sell it me also, when I went to pick up the forum members name was on the box, the actual owner said he was ready to send it and then they guy cocked on it.

It's in good condition, the only thing that lets it down is the flaking writing.

For me I wanted one to finish the look of the car, after getting messed about on here and from a guy over in Ireland I gave up, and looked T the nurspec and vortex, I actually was going for the vortex this evening when I checked eBay

 

Excuse the size of the pic, posting off my phone, will change in the morning.*





Generally good condition bar the letters.*





So cleaned the box and removed the tar. Then prepped the letters and masked up loosely.*









Mixed some colour up and sprayed on.*





Then with 2000 paper I blocked the colour back, and then gave them a coat of clear.*


Tomorrow I will finish polishing it and bring the lacquer edge back too.*


Result so far*





Jake.*

 

I was after one too but couldn't find one then I order a hayward & scott and the next day that popped up on eBay.

Looks not bad condition, even better now

 

1st dibs when you fancy another change jake lol

Good find there mate and looks better already

Martin

 

Martin, your first in line bud.
