Will they both pass noise tests at UK trackday circuits ok ?

Is there much difference in noise levels between the 2 sizes ?

You should be fine with either of these systems. I had the 3" and now run the 3 1/2" and have found very little difference in the noise output between them.

Both fantastic systems though

Thanks

Have you been through many noise tests to confirm they pass ok ?

And are you running APS (or other) induction that could add to the noise level ?

I ran the 3 1/2" exhaust system at Donnington last October and basically was able to keep my foot to the floor throughout the pit straight without pipping the noise meter, and i believe that Donny have a noise reg of 98db.

I'm running HKS induction kit on mine

Thank-you

looks like 3.5" and APS induction it is then !

Hmm this APS sounds more intriguing by the second, what sort of pricing are we looking at for full APS induction, APS full system (manifold too?) and how does it compare with the HKS induction and drager kit?

Global,

I might go for full exhaust\induction\intercooler\BOV followed by re-map. Not sure if there is a reduction for the full package. Also not sure if I need the intercooler, but intend to go 400\400 at some point.
Don't think APS do a manifold. Presumably can use a different make for this?

 

[Razor]

Thanks for the info Paul, I probably would not use a BOV unless I changed from a MAF sensor to a MAP sensor (mandatory if heading Motec/Autronic) and as for the intercooler would only consider if there is a more efficient one than the std mitsi intercooler which happens to very efficient probably upto 450 bhp.



Cheers for the link

Do you think the IIIV system will fit a IX ?

The only posible difference I can see would be if the back box exits the rear bumper at a different point - which from the pictures of the IX I don't think it does ???

Will be a shame to have to wait for a IX specific item to be produced.

It appears that APS do a manifold, but only for APS turbo.

One more thing. If anyones worried about MOT time with the 3.5" (APS didn't manufacture a cat for this due to expense), WRC hold a stock of std VIII exhausts with cat.
That's if your local MOT station is of the "unfriendly" type.

So u can go down swop your APS for one of their standard systems go off an get your MOT and come back and whack the APS back on?

 

[Paul_G]

I think that was the plan. Not sure if WRC do MOT's?

 

[Sim_Evo]

Sounds a good idea.

If they do MOTs now or in the future we'll be laughing!

 

[Paul_G]

Agreed. Could get the car serviced at the same time. If they don't do the MOT, I'm sure they could liaise with a local MOT centre. The point is, there is a way around it without having to go to the hassle of bribing your local garage!

i failed a sound test drive by with the 3" system at donnington, dunno how because they sound pants

WOW! Now that really surprises me

My 3.5" System sounds fine

i was talking about 3"
