More people jumping on board now so add ur name now if your interested in this exhaust. Normal price is £370 inc vat so would be looking at a good discount off that price.

In case you don't know what it is then here are some links:

TSL Website - Firestorm Exhaust





[**ScoobyK - just borrowed them of your post. Let me know if there is any problem with that**]

Not a dig at all, honest at Trouser's lot, but in a couple of bits about that exhaust, they do seem to be talking cod, IMO.

"We have always admired the looks of the Japanese style boxes but never been over impressed with the quality"

Err......OK. My Blitz Nur Spec R system looks really badly made and I wouldn't possibly want to hang it on my wall due it looking like it was hand-welded by God himself

The price comment however I can't argue with
Actually, yes I can, as it still seems pricey for just a backbox

I still have the flat four sound too on my girl, running a 3" through SS Downpipe mated to the above.

Just to re-iterate, not a dig Just my views on the comments above.

I'll get my coat

Cheers,

Nick

Question

P1 Fanatic,
Just looked at the pics of your car ,very nice, where did you get the Prodrive sticker from it looks the biz.
I have a few Prodrive bits and pieces, PPP,wheels, brakes, suspension but they would not give me a 'sticker' because the bits were not put on at the same time and I need the interior to complete their package (sucks really).
Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers Nige..

Rasher - the car isnt mine its ScoobyK's - I just posted them to show prospective groupbuyers what the exhaust looks like fitted to a Scoob. I think maybe salsa king does the prodrive stickers but I'm not 100% on that!!

Hi peeps

firstly thanks for all the interest in Firestorm.. we are pretty chuffed with it so are really pleased that it seems to being floating several peoples boats so to speak

Have had a couple of calls/mails about this today so thought it only right to pop up and say a few words.

Obviously at some point we will be delighted to do a group buy on these. At the moment we are enjoying that smashing "honeymoon" period that any new product enjoys... where (he says touching wood) there seems to presently be more Firestorm enquiries than Firestorms. Obviously we have got the slaves in Sheffield and Nottingham working 23.5 hour days to try and sort this but I am sure you will understand i really need to be in a position where i have satisfied all the people good enough to pay list before I can organise a group discount

Hope you don't think we're being funny... just business logic

Thanks again

Paul

IMHO they compare very well...I think you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference - Phil (Salsa King) is a top bloke

Mr Footlong (or any other Blitz Nurspec owners) have you got a pic of the Blitz fitted to your scoob as I am tempted by this groupbuy seeing as the TSL one has hit a brick wall

Looks like a top piece of kit but not too sure about the internal bit,is that silencing looks a bit strange.

I have now got a Firestorm fitted to my P1 , which replaced the Blitz Nur Spec previously fitted. In terms of quality the Blitz is a well made bit of kit, only let down by mild steel hangers being welded to a stainelss tube - never could understand that. The noise of the Blitz was just LOUD, and on my car, it did lose some of the traditional Scooby sound.

The Firstorm however, has brought that sound back, whilst still being bloody loud, and in my opinion, is a better made back box.

Just my thoughts - Simon

Firestorm + PPP + TSL straight through centre on my STi7, it's pretty loud, have been next to police twice with the engine running now and absolutely no comment from either of them.

(Incidentally, the last one went like this - driving through Saffron Walden town centre on a Saturday night at about 11pm - pub chucking out time - second gear only doing about 20mph as there are normally more people in the road than on the pavement - and waved over to stop by two PC's on the beat )

<plod> Why are you driving with main beam on? (in a one way street, no traffic in front of me, Philips Vision Plus dip bulbs, Philips Rallye 100w main, plus Prodrive/Hella gas discharge drive lamps - nearly melted his reflective jacket at 200 paces LOL )

<DTS> Because it's Saturday night in Saffron Walden, there are drunk kids falling in the road everywhere (true) and I want them to see me....

<plod> Ok, there is some young oik tearing round the town and we were just checking (I was tempted to say thanks for the compliment, but i'm a 48 year old oik, but decided not to push it ) - off you go then

(DTS pulled away on a light-ish throttle so not to push it )

Trouser,

Point of order I have HKS not Blitz and that is the first back box the supplier has heard of failing that way!

It might have something to do with my exhaust system being rigid as well!
