Cracked the 400/400 mark

[Black300ST]

Had a trip to Pipewerx in Lancashire on Monday to have my Scorpion 80mm downpipe with Sportscat fitted and removed the GPF in the process.

Then yesterday went to Unicorn in Stockport for a Stage 2 remap.

Came away with 404bhp and 408lbsft (about 540Nm). Was at 380bhp before the downpipe, so a decent but not massive gain.

Well pleased. The car is a fair bit gruffer now the GPF is gone. Getting some nice "plop plop plops" from the exhaust on overrun, but it's not too "in your face".

Had a major nightmare when getting all the sensors out of the old downpipe. A couple were in real tight. The whole swap took about 6 hours.

Yes mapped by Unicorn at both Stage 1+ and then Stage 2. Rick has done all my cars for years (about 5 of them).

Quite a sleeper!

Quite a sleeper!

Thanks. Yes that was my ultimate aim. It's gone a bit noisier at Stage 2, so it doesn't fit that quite as well as it did, but it still surprises a few people.

Is it straight piped or with the backbox still on?

It's got sports cat, centre silencer and 2 rear boxes (one either side).

Ideally I actually wanted it a bit of a sleeper really, and to not be loud at all, but I've kind of not got that. The OPF delete made a big change to the noise even with all those silencers. It's quite loud. Straight piped would be unbearable I reckon.
