2bular

Deciding on new backbox for exige s.

Have 260 upgrade, 4-1 manifold, sports cat, or decat.

Thinking either 6 x 18 or 7 x 22 (ultra core) what’s peoples thoughts noise levels etc?

I’ve got Jim’s GT3 de-cat and love it! But I also got the 8 X 24 box… I think. Also get id Zircoated (ceramic)…great stuff!

Go for the biggest, repackable back box possible if you want to do trackdays.

^^ This.
I have a 30 x 8 Tullett

Or 2. You can even have a noise gradiente.

A bit of thinking gives you really quiet with 2 silencers.

Loud with 1 silencer.

Or offensive with none!!

You mean like this?

Does this coating make much difference?

Just like that, a nice integrated solution

yes but you have more chance of getting to see the queens backside than getting the guy who made that to do others…

I wish Akrkapovic will do one for Exige :stuck_out_tongue:

Agreed, just could not get it sorted either so 2bular made me a dual box system, 2nd one is fitted outside the car, not as nice as that but does the job.

Not sure I would want to see a queens arse though Gav

I think so…but I really don’t have a way of quantifying my engineering knowledge of material properties…short of buying another that is not coated and instrumenting the engine bay. I know it works and don’t need to prove it anybody else that doesn’t understand engineering material properties…because I’m not selling anything. I asked Jim to do this for me. He didn’t sell the idea to him, I asked for it…

One of the many manifolds I had did not have the coating, and the inside of the boot floor and boot front bulkhead was a lot hotter, nothing scientific but hotter :slight_smile:

calm down dear he was just asking if it made much difference

I think anything the helps a lotus engine bay is good, but do consider unless its coated to the tail it is just moving the hat further down the system.
