One of the Dutch guys has re-installed the oem heatshield over the 3" manifold. And the fitting wasn't that bad.






Like Chazuwe, I didn't like the idea covering the piece of art too and installed nimbus against the boot. see bottemview below.

You should have extended the Nimbus to the gear cables too

[ChazUwe]

Thanks all, so I guess from that if you want to leave the the oem heatshield off you need to have the extra nimbus protection to compensate.... What's everyones verdict of the noise, is it much deeper than as just the Milltek? Cheers

I just have the manifold with the stock exhaust and mid pipe and I think its quieter than stock. I'll be adding the mid pipe and back box later I have a nimbus heat sheild made for me to replace the OEM one.

Have just got the pics of my new 3" Chris Tullett exhaust system.


Exact equal length primaries and 100 cell cat.







picked my 3" tullet up monday what a piece of kit looks stuning

[AMOSS]

I fitted my full 2.5" system a couple of weeks ago. The exhaust sounds great with a slight burble on the over-run. The tip to trim 5mm off the gearbox end of the manifold was invaluable when fitting with the clam on. It went on pretty easy using that tip. Getting to the bottom nuts on the manifold while putting it on was a challenge. Good job I have small hands!..

[Muncher]

Anyone had their £200 manifold delivered yet?

[AMOSS]

Still waiting.. lol

[LazyDonkey]

I want my £200 manifold !

I think Thorney has his hands full today over on CSL Register/M3 Cutters dealing with a not so happy customer! No time for the £200 manifolds.

[peterg]

Bloody hell, no wonder he can't be bothered making a £200 manifold when he can con people out of £13k for this sort of substandard work/service: http://www.cslregist...read.php?t=3973

No time for the £200 manifolds.

If you go to page 20 of this thread you'll see a post from Thorney saying they were designed, tested and were just awaiting supplies..............in July 2009.

Maybe they got caught up in the postal strike ?

LD don't be so unkind, very long manufacturing process, see?

[cheeky_chops]

perhaps they are stuck behind the boxes of childrens shoes?

[LazyDonkey]

I now have apple juice on my desk and keyboard

[MAXR]

Just got in, it's certainly louder!

At idle it's got a pretty purposeful burble, under load and sub 3,500rpm it can be pretty loud (well, in my mind I've been driving a diesel golf for the past 3 weeks!) but on a constant throttle, at 4,000rpm for example it is pretty quiet. At certain points under load, part throttle and on the overrun in can be pretty loud so Chris is increasing the length of the silencer to 30/31 inches.


More details and pics to follow

Paul, a static test will be taken at above 4500rpm...I had two silencers on my 2ubular system!

My average static test is around 99db, God knows what a Harrop will do to that! I do have space to greatly increase the size of my secondary silencer & I'm having a downward pointing single tip added.

Also, Jim has made my 2-11 rear silencer with a new internal design with a perforated internal cylindrical baffler??? he says that tests he has done reduce the sound noticably...mmmm...We'll see!

Max

P.S. what gauge s/steel is he using for the silencer?

I think the Harrop with Jims system is doing about 101-102db at 4500 just sounds slightly louder than the Miltek which had no stuffing in at all. Will check ASAP

I think I might ask for a slightly longer back box and maybe a replacement cat/silencer similar to yours Max

If you've seen my new Tullett silencers in place on Vocky's build thread you'll know just how big it is now. It's probably a full 7" longer...The secondary box is also repackable and bigger too.
