sharky_70 0 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 pretty sure jetex could supply all the parts individualyeither that or a custom jobyou might have trouble with the over axle section, where you might struggle for clearance against the body, but i think wither C2 or Kinetic in the US have these off the shelf Link to post Share on other sites

kcw 1 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Do you have any issues with the rear axle? Mates 3" system knocked as soon as he was 3 up thats on standard suspension. Link to post Share on other sites
vr6turbo 27 Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 yeah maybe its not such a good ideathe eibach rear anti roll bars dont help eitherthe back box clearance is tinyplus the car is lowered 40mmjkm look like they do a fine job down in portsmouthcustom made sounds best Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 3" isn't essential. A good 2.5" system with single silencer and 2 resonators won't cost you much power, if anything. The downpipe is the important bit with turbos, the bigger the better. Bore diameter should be 1.5 x turbine wheel diameter, but 3" is enough for most installs.The trick with the over axle bit is to mount it so that the pipe is about 5-10mm off the boot floor, then there should be about 2" clearance for the axle, but if you're lowered, that clearance reduces. Wrap some rubber around the axle, LOL! It still clonks, but not as harshly or loudly. Link to post Share on other sites
RIX 0 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 buy some audi s3 exhaust rubber´s also help hartmann is 2.75 and that does not knock when fitted with s3 rubbers and sachs 35mm too bad hartmann is closed but www.reinekeshop.de has bought the stock Link to post Share on other sites

kcw 1 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 How about if you were running air, would you be able to run the over axle section as a flat over 3" as opposed to a 3" round? Would the shape make a difference in how much it flowed? Link to post Share on other sites

john555 0 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 squashing a 3" will reduce the bore size as the circumferance will stay the same but the cross section willl shinkhope that makes sense im busy tryin to work out what would be best/ easyest for my syncro i looked at running two 2" pipes in the same style as standard but that would cost a fortune so im probly just gona go 2.75" i cant imagin ill loose to much if any power Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Indeed. Like crimping the end of a garden hose with your thumb....it restricts the flow. Link to post Share on other sites
