The welds look fist class top notch job.

Its actually better than the miltek.

 

[J@mes]

cool!

 

[cuprabaz]

looks good mate. I bet the new system is half the weight of the old one.

get mine fitted next week. whats the noise in the cabin like, say in town then at motorway speeds?.I take it that the spool up is much quicker now!

not that iv felt the weight of the BF system, but the standard system weighs a bloody ton!

well if ur driving normal, then its very very subtle... ur passengers will not even know you have a performance system fitted!

the same for motorway speeds!

however i have noticed at about 90mph it seams to be at its peak resonance... think thats the correct word?! lol

so if ur cruisin at 90 then its slightly louder, but not bad... also when u let off at arround 95 and the car starts to deaccelerate, iv notice a slight "boom" noise from about 95mph to 90mph.

its nothing bad, but thought id mention it!


to sum it up sound wise.... put ur foot down and it sounds good, drive normally and it sounds like ur standard exhaust!


the noise is changing every day and im doing a lot of miles recently... goin to trax 2mo! so il keep this thread updated on the noise as it changes!

lol

well only if u dont put ur foot down! and trust me ul find it very very hard not too!


just tell her all the standard exhaust systems get slightly louder at "****" miles!

 

[flashbsd]

and it gets shiny'er all of a sudden! also when you go hiding the visa bill

 

[Scotty_b]

Not sure really, blue falme recon that the differnce is about 1-2 bhp unless you go over 300bhp

 

[J@mes]

well i was told the standard cat is 400 cell, so a 100 cell cat that i have fitted is 75% more efficient!

just thought id say!

ps. pm replied!

 

[cu51pra]

mine pops and bangs all the time the turbo spool up is really loud and the blowing at the moment is pissing me off but it will be sorted on monday then happy days

 

[J@mes]

i gues urs is louder than mine (turbo noise) despite being a smaller turbo, but cos ur chipped and running about 8psi more than me.

a lot of std cats are ceramic ones where I expect the BF ones in 100-200 cell to be metal matrix cats. (look like flame arrestors for those who know what they look like - corrugated metal rolled into a ball and inserted into a sleeve.

RS4 cats(4 of em) are metal matrix 200 cell as std I think as an aside having seen inside them last week.

did 231 miles today to trax and back... the system sounded slightly quieter i think. it sounds the nuts as you give it some beans on the motorway!
