Having trawled through all the hundreds of after market stainless steel systems for our 98 scoob wagon, i finally chose power engineering for their excellent T75 system.Turned up on saturday as scheduled, the system was fitted in an 1hr 30 mins and run up on the dyno to show 246 BHP Chuffed to bits!!!! Car now has more low down torque and turbo spins up quicker due to twin dump front pipe, wife says it sounds cool too when she drives it to work.
Thanks to all the boy's there, thoroughly recommended excellent job - excellent kit

 

My Scoobysport backbox gave me 244bhp on my 99my - so you're doing well!

 

I got 248BHP from my Scoobysport backbox on my UK MY99 on PE's rolling road !

But we all know that PE’s rollers are generous…..

 

Complete in 200 words or less.

PE's small 3 inch separate wastegate pipe achieves....

only jokin. Most important factor is your satisfaction which you obviously have.

 

I'm curious. It sounds as though you have bought a full system including d/p, but I thought they were claiming it was the most powerful system available?
Other people here are giving their backbox only figures, and my full Scorpion system gave me 267bhp on their rollers.
DID you get a full system?

PEs rollers give standard UK cars an average of around 240bhp. Slightly flattering methinks.

After that glowing, in-depth review, maybe now's the time for me to mention that I have a Power Engineering T75 twin-dump downpipe that will require a new home in the not to distant future...

 

Moray,
Whats wrong with it?

Jake

 

Danny Fisher....dont you have a PE downpipe??????????????

anyhow, its not about rollers being generous, its all about relativity and them being consistent.

Got on my MY00 264bhp and 250lbft torque from Powerengineering.

Sunil, you know only to well what exhaust I have!

T75 down
Magnex centre
SS back box

Me thinks it may be time to change an item or two....

Dan

 

Just curious as to why PE routinely get slagged on this BBS?

 

Jake: I have the full PE T75 exhaust system on my STi6 Type R and I'm chuffed to bits with it. Great sound, and it's really reduced the turbo lag. To be honest, I'm strictly an amatuer, and I couldn't give a toss about rolling road/dyno figures. To me, the main thing is that you drive out of the garage thinking 'that was money well spent', which I did. I'm happy anyway.

 

Did you have some spinach before you said that!

 

Popeye

There is a bit of history with PE on the original Scoobynet.

Personally, i dont have an issue with their rolling road - like i said, its all about relativity and consistency

There are a group of resident muppets that claim that another rolling road is the most accurate and PE is very inaccurate. Unfortunately, none of these muppets have published any benchmarks or hard factual evidence to support their ranting

Is the trip on the rolling road included in the price of the exhaust?
Or do you pay for the benefit of being told your car is now more better/faster/stronger than it was before.
I changed my exhaust, drove the car and thought ... wicked.
Placebo is a wonderful thing!

 

All that rolling road business aside is their exhaust system any good / worth the money????

 

Gentleman, Gentleman! Lets apply some logic . No Dyno is going to give you the absolute BHP figures of your vehicles, unless their Dyno is frequently/rigorously calibrated. The best means of evaluating a new/replacement exhaust system (complete or sections of), is to carry out a simple back to back comparison. Therefore, maybe you could suggest to PE, to help back up their claims, that they do an initial run on your current system before fittment of the new/replacement. The delta's between the two should hopefully be more than sufficient to make you happy for shelling out your hard earned lolly !

 

You can't say that! 6SSK used that joke already!

 

Unforunately I tend to "zzhheerrrbbbeerrthhh" over most of his comments.
Now I know he has made a good one I shall re-read all his previous posts.

 

I'm certainly not slagging PE off.
I'm just asking if it was a full system that got those figures on their rollers, when other similarly modded cars are getting well over 260bhp? I don't know anyone else with a full PE system, that's all.
If it's advertised as being the most powerful system available, I'm just wondering why these figures don't support that.

Stef.

 

Jake,

To be honest, I suspect it would do wonders on a mildly tuned UK car... but I believe it becomes a weak link on cars putting out more than 300bhp.

Moray

 

Moray,

Thats clears that one up

Stef,

Check

 

Hmmmm...my figures with just backbox/centre pipe were still 261bhp, and the d/p is supposed to give larger gains than the centre section.
Oh well.

Stef.

 

erm, didnt we conclude ages ago that most downpipes SHOW NO GAINS ON THE ROLLERS?
