leddy Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 fair play seems like a good result ive been thinking of this for a while now. might have to try and free up some finances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZ3256 Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) Definitly worth the money, all in it cost me approx £280 thats even including the heat wrap and hose clips.lol. Its a lot louder than it was before and sounds great, it also revs a lot higher and picks up a lot quicker.I just have the standard system except a powerflow back box which was on when i purchased the car. Tried looking for a sports cat but couldnt find one. Its getting its 1st MOT on sat so might try a de-cat next month.Its still running perfect, no lights etc.Sounds of Silence is in Falkirk (Central Scotland) Tel. 01324 613555. Had a few rattles but it was just the engine tray hadnt been put back on properly. They've also broken the plug off my rectifier on my alternator and glued it back on which they are not taking responsibility for But apart from the dirty finger prints all over the bonnet they made a great job cutting, bending and fitting it.P.s will post pics soon.

Matty_Gti Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 well i am very impressed with this mod and am seriously considering doing it to my gti when i have some money and after a couple of more pressing mods. let us know how the MOT goes?Falkirk is a little too far for me to travel but i will look for an exhaust specialist which will do similar mods to the manifold to make it fit. what exactly needs to be done to it? i know it needs to be bent but does it need to be chopped? does a flexi pipe have to be fitted?

Tallika_Fan Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 ... does a flexi pipe have to be fitted?I would say yes mate, mine is doing my head in, it's currently vibrating through the car loads and starting to blow again ( my own fault, for having a bodge instead of an exhaust ), so going to get myself one and have done with it.

GAZ3256 Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Its ok just now with the spring clamps (instead of flexi) but thinking of putting a flexi on in the future. Only reason I didnt get one is because I forgot to ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallika_Fan Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Nice one, do you have any photos of the system by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZ3256 Posted September 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Not just yet, i'm hoping to get a few pics of the manifold and other recent mods posted up on my readers rides post this week. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_M Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Just get them to heat and bend......it appears to be a trial and error thing due to not being designed for the Lupo GTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverarrow Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Helloi bought the 4-2-1 from Formel-K last year. But it costs almost 600 €. And no good adaptation. But with 200 cell HJS racing-converter and new software car goes a lot better up to 4500 1/min than original.
