That's a pic of the standard zorst with the pipes coming out of the box. The sports version has the pipes bending round from the right, as in the picture above in the table. No idea why they used that pic.

The sharp sighted amongst you might have noticed that the Komotek II looks very similar to the Piper... Noticed the thread on insurance - back box cost me £16 extra - just a % of policy - there again I'm an old git so insurance is reasonable anyway

Do they cound/perform differently?

[Marco]

Not 'official' yet but the Milltek system is the only one formally recommended by Vauxhall

Does that mean they will stop selling the Vauxhall Sports Exhaust? Or will the SE be a 'track' exhaust and the milltek a 'road' upgrade?

CP: The picture on the Vaux website is the standard one (I think they state product may differ from picture)

[Thorney]

the recomendation is specifically for the vxt system.

Im considering an getting an exhaust... What happened to the piper discount? Whats the general opinion on the best back box Does anyone have any sound files?

[Jase_MK]

Jamie, I should have the Piper fitted in a week or so if you wanna have a listen.

[m7mini]

Jase that would be good - u soon get used to the sound of the induction and want that little bit more...

Some hot new information:

The Steinmetz costs 869 EURO the backbox only, plus 152 for the modified backcover.

And at last a new dealer: Speedster-parts look here with soundfiles. Pic as attachement. Price: not known. They only do the work for their hobby, but obviously not bad.

I think it's worth mentioning that the n/a exhaust from Regal is different to the VXT exhaust and gives a different power increase etc. Also the claimed figures for the Regal exhaust are 4bhp for the backbox and 5bhp for the cat & downpipe. The VXT zorst has a claimed 10bhp and 40% weight reduction.

Doh! I got so caught up in the detail there. Anyway the point about the n/a downpipe from Regal still counts.

[clipping_point]

N/A downpipe- the pipe from manifold to catalyst? Is it larger in dia, or what? The table only show the VX220 ones not the VXT, and only backboxes

MY point was that most of the other exhausts have their power listed with the sports cats. The Regal exhaust (sold in sections) only has the bhp increase for the backbox alone. The downpipe and sports cat section would level it up with the Milteks etc.

What about the Courtenay exhaust system. I have just the rear box at the monent. Makes a good sound, 92db. Good quality. I bought it as I was told by regal and Milltek that I couldntb just get the rear box, and that was all I wanted at the time. The courtnenay one, you can buy in stages. Martin S
