or
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sportex-N...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f1421e0d9
one what is the difference?? (apart from price and the size of the tip)
and is this worth getting i may be planning to decat the mani after i get one.
any helpful ideas would be much appreciated

Peter Lloyd is a Sportex

Those two links, 1 is a 3inch, 1 is a 4inch.

3 would look best.

Personally a standard decat and a Sportex back box will be fine and much cheaper

 

[Kamarley]

I have heard that before bud, so you would say just a 3" back box???

I'm running a Frankspeed decat, coilpack mid-pipe and a 2.5" Sportex box. I have no performance issues.

 

[Kamarley]

And how much has that setup put you back??

K K K K Kamarley!!

Frankspeed £50
Front cat £20
Coilpack pipe £24
Sportex box £125

Generally speakinf you only really need a back box, I needed an entire system.

 

[Kamarley]

Well that ends up being £219 so the sportex will be cheaper

My PLR is coming tomorrow I've been told http://www.peterlloydrallying.co.uk/micra-exhaust-plr337?filter_name=micra

Did you fit yours yourself McMicra and have you 'Hammerite'd' it?

We fitted it not hammerited it yet but its easy as to take off so we can do it in the next week or so we are just impatient

@Kamarley & @IRNBROO Is it prone to rusting then?

 

[SirChris]

ERM why hammerite... It don't cope with heat.

 

[Enuo]

hammerite barbeque paint is a win

Lol didn't think of that

 

[IRNBROO]

Yup also cheap caliper paint it won't be seen anyway

 

[McMicra]

also aslo DAT NOISE,

Love the nice grumble it gives at 2krpm and gets raspy in the higher revs

Don't exhausts usually rot from the inside out due to condensation?
Buggered if I know how you're gonna hammerite the inside

indeed your correct, but hammeriting the outside will prevent it from doing so outside > in so It will at least slow it up .

Once my system goes ill probably get an identical one made up with stainless steel

would work well with dem turboszzz.

couldn't do it with a standard you'd lose the back pressure with such a big bore and you'd be slower :L, 2.25" from PLR is spot on IMO for the standard engines

i guess you pour the paint in one end of the pipe and let it trickle down whilst viciously shaking the exhaust pipe to cover the insde area!

Costs more to fit the full system if you cant do it yourself i guess though

 

[Kamarley]

I head if you pour paint in your throttle body it coats the inside of the exhaust?

 

[Kamarley]

So what can I treat it with to prelong it's painful death?


K K K K Kamarley!!

 

[Huggy444]

nothing really, the exhuast will rust in 4 years if you do nothing to it, might squeeze a few more years out of it if you treat it well.
It's either £145 for a PL exhuast system, or £350 for a Janspeed stainless one

 

[Kamarley]

£200 for the sportex kit on eBay


K K K K Kamarley!!

 

[deano1988]

if you want pops and bangs just make a front bumper/side exit exhaust out of your existing exhaust for nothing

could probably get a custom stainless one made up for less than that

 

[Huggy444]

They're normally £200-£300 iirc for a custom stainless, and thats fitted Guess the micra doesn't need much piping haha

 

[--alpina--]

OR you can spray 5hit loads of WD40, you can buy 5ltr cans now (industrial size) and generously pour thay down the pipes and not forgetting to hammerite the pipes and exhaust heat wraps all away then fit exhaust up and sorted, 6-7 years of pain free rust thought driving !!! bare in mind you will have a little smokey smelly car untill it bonds and makes a nice coat!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand sorted!!!

[Kamarley]

About a month of smelly crud?

[davyboy]

If I wanted one (I don't) I'd get it made in the local dockyard for free. Dockyards can make anything, and I mean anything, brilliant places. All that for a noise !!! you're all bonkers.

I've had both, and PLR sounded amazing with a 4-2-1 but the janspeed looks amazing and sounds even better!

Hi, just found that Sportex makes 2 different back boxes for the K11.. one for the '92 model and the first facelift, and one for the last facelift.

I always thought that the exhaust line was identical... maybe is just for the different rear bumper that on the last facelift has a very shallow exhust port?
