Tidy job - it's not sprayed everywhere I thought Torque did a clearcoat, not the black you have (says so on their web site)

Do you know if they have a clear coat available as opposed to the back one?

So, I've narrowed my choice down to either going turbo back Cobra with decat and resonator. I quite like the sound of it, and feedback is noise levels are what I'm after
Or, a Miltek decat d/pipe which is certain to make things louder Edit: H&S in the running too. Same price as Cobra and I had one fitted on a 2004 2.0 JDM I owned a few years back which sounded brilliant |

H&S are looking favourite then, and I'm going to speak Milltek tomorrow about the d/pipe |
The miltek one I got had to be drilled for rear lambda the hole was in totally wrong place
Then on start up the weld was leaking had have that repaired on a brand new front pipe Was not impressed |
Infinity at Bristol do whatever you want for about 25% cheaper than H and S, very prompt at answering questions, only difference is that they make the exhaust on the spot, specifically for your car, and it doesn't leave until it is perfect.

Result :)
Had the resonator removed today and the difference has made the sound pretty much exactly what I was after Made what would be called a definite difference, and for me what was too quiet before, is great now Pottering and NSL cruising is quiet. Any use of throttle lights things up with certain rpm's louder that others and boost makes everything better/deeper etc Car in for mapping Thursday, so may change a little more :) |
Who is mapping it? Hope they sort any "stumble" at around 3000rpm. 3port boost solenoid makes it much easier for mapper to control boost

Did you get a mid pipe without a resonator or cut the Milltek up?

I went to a place that makes exhausts and they removed the resonator box from the pipe and put in a replacement. I got them to flange up the ends of the resonator section so it will easily go back in if desired (but it works so well I can't see that happening)

Very recommended. I'm well pleased with the result. You could just as easily buy a Miltek centre pipe, which costs ~£90 delivered and it's an easy diy swap Had I not been so impatient, and had a re-map booked 2 days later I may have gone that route. As it was both were the same money and now I only have to store a small box and not a long pipe with box :) |

There is a stumble indeed at around 3K - what makes you ask HG - common issue?
I would be really interested in feedback from your mapper, as I am still humming and hahing about mine. Did Darren say who mapped it initially? |

I think it can be mapped out by spending time on it; solutions with varying degrees of success involve longer fuel line, removing dampers and an uprated or Hawk fpr, or parallel fuel rails for a certain fix.
