Car Booked in For Exhausts!

Well decided i wanted the twin exhausts completed asap and hopefully in time for the Speedfest at Knockhill on Sunday.

So called my mate and its booked in at the garage he works at in Arbroath for 8.30am tomrz! So all things going well i will get my second heatshield fitted and exhausts sorted aswell

Its going to be a good weekend, even though i'll be knackered on Sunday, im working a 12 hour shift til 3am on the Saturday night!

Dedication for you


Hope it to look like this.....

no need to discuss it looks awesome! although i think iirc on a 180 it actually loses you power? not sure if its the same on the 110 tho?

I do like it, suits the zs. Seen a few Mk.1's with conversion. I still cant decide what exhaust to get yet!!!!. I guess twin conversion goes hand in hand with that.
Weather looks good for the meet for you.

I've heard it looses power on the 180 as well, but add an air filter (ITG or BMC) and i'm sure it'll even itself out.
Is there no way of restricting the output a little to keep the back pressure up and in turn keep the power up too?

do you think it will be a factor on the 110?

Loosing power? What power have you to loose?





Should be fine i'd imagine.

Sammy the reason they lose power on the 180 is not because they lose restriction but the opposite. The split in the pipe causes a reflection pulse (basically where the pressure pulse returns up the exhaust) so increasing back pressure. Is going to be very marginal though and tbh on yours i really would worry about it.
