thanks for the link nick but its a tad too far for me its nearly 200 miles from me plus i dont fancy towing my car up there all that way but i will email them and see what they say

Worth travelling to get a decent job imo! to many cowboys about! 3" straight through is also not to loud! stealth systems done myne was about £700 i think.

[Sturge]

Just out of interest I assume you're running well in excess of 300bhp to require 3" pipe? Otherwise you're both wasting time and losing power

[dan16v]

Dont see how he will be losing power?
Not realy wasted cash either as he may not be running 300+ now but it leaves scope for future upgrades etc.

BTB exhaust are very good, but you pay for what you get! Excellent quality!:thumb:

Would recommend JP in Macclesfield as there work is top notch.

Had my exhaust on now 11 years and the only problems have been a cracked weld around the mid box - which I sorted out with some extra welding when I was rebuilding the nova.

They will do any spec you want really from 2"-4" and a myriad of tailpipe options.

Not cheap but you pay for what you get.

Bigger pipe gives lower gas pressure and hence lower speed, go too low and the gas doesn't draw out as well = loss in power! Didn't realise when I posted it was for a turbo so admittedly not as critical and yeah will leave scope for upgrades, but fluid flow principles still apply. 2.5" is good for 300 brake

mt dad had a 2" made for his Xe and it Sounded nice i will find out who made his for him i no it cost him about £400

[tony k]

Yes for forced induction, so less back pressure the better to allow turbo to spool.

[Sturge]

you can still go too big with forced induction

I believe they will not do anything larger than a 2.5" on a nova now from what i have been told.

[dan16v]

yup, but in this case 3" isnt to larger dia for the engine.

[Sturge]

Just thought I'd point it out for anyone reading who was thinking 'oh great, i'm off to steal a sewer pipe for an exhaust' :D

[dan16v]

at least sewer pipe would be cheaplol

[brainsnova]

my mate bought a mk3 astra with a scaffold pipe welded in no backbox lol lol lol

[Benn]

Shame stealth dont do it anymore, they built my system and its still perfect after 7years..
