Doubt you'll find a titanium resonator anywhere to weld in. Your better off having a small stainless resonator section made that fits in the centre section then getting 2 titanium flanges welded onto your titanium system with the same amount removed. Make your centre pipe into a 3 piece pipe with a flanged bolt in resonator section if you know what I mean? Then you can even put 2 more titanium flanges on the titanium section you removed to swap it back in if needed.

 

I was wondering if Tomei sell a resonated centre section

 

Looking at it I think you can buy the exhaust with a resonated centre section.

Oh poo.


Guess it's cut & shut time then!

 

Or turn the radio up.

 

Double glazing?

 

Get a bung.

 

I think a bung came with it I will ask the bearded wonder

 

I think the sensible thing to do is remove it off the car and buy another system.

 

The car is now back with Ryan the exhaust will be taken off and put up for sale. There is also a slight issue with an oily smell on tickover which Ryan is going to investigate and hopefully fix.The car also needs a pair of discs on the front so a phonecall to Alyn at ASP will be made.

 

Ryan has fitted his H&S system to my car. I will have a listen to it next week and make a decision as to wether i buy it.

 

The car is booked in at Thwaites on the 12th May for the remap.

 

The car will have another oil change before the final map.
I am going to go with Royal Purple.

 

Waiting on a pair of front discs so the car can go for mot.

 

Discs arrived Ryan fitted them along with a set of Performance Pads.I collect the car Saturday then off to Thwaites next Friday morning for the final map.If all goes well i will give my wallet a few months off to recover then look at having a suspension refurb in the Autumn.

 

Try and record the car on the dyno and post the dyno graph if you can

 

I will try but you are talking to a hairy arsed old trucker.

 

hahaha. Not how I imagined you I have to say Dave! lol

BPR i am 62 this year, the oldest boy racer in town

 

haha. Fair play to you mate!!! I'm 40 and turning 41 at the end of the month. I'll never grow up!

 

I collected my car this morning,this is the first time i had heard the Hayward & Scott system that Ryan had fitted to replace the Tomei system.It's got a very nice sound to it.
Also the brakes are spot on now with the new discs and pads.

 

The long wait is nearly over, final mapping in the morning.

 

Good luck with the mapping and hope it goes to plan for you mate.

Enjoy the drive home

 

Sat outside TDR not long to go now.

 

And............

 

469.9 bhp and 430 torque.
I will get the graph put up when my daughter visits,its a bit beyond me.
Thwaites are top people cant praise them enough.
After a couple of issues all was sorted then Mark was able to go ahead with the mapping.

 

Cracking job! Gotta be pleased with that?

 

very happy,had a smile on my face all the way home.
A big thankyou to everyone involved in this.
ASPerformance who built the engine
Mark at Thwaites who did an excellent job on the mapping.
Last but not least Ryan at Torques Performance who put it all together and had to put up with all my moaning and endless texts.His attention to detail is second to none.
If you are planning to do something similar you wouldnt go far wrong using these people.
So whats next ?
Full refurb underneath and a full geometry setup but first my wallet is having a summer break.
