Awesome thread. Heres my bit of JDM goodness: First person to say 'Nice Rotas' gets a punch in the gob!

As Mat has stated, it all comes down to economies of scale when it comes down to the pricing. Its been a while since i did the maths, but as an example iirc, if we were to order 50 systems from btb we'd be able to knock them out around the £300 mark, but we all know that no matter how good the...

Even us ordering a batch of 10 means we make VERY little money on them at £500, and the money we do make isn't really profit due to the development costs. We could get a batch of 5 done but from what i remember i think we'd have to sell them at around £800!

The original one on mat's car never dropped over about a 6-8 month period. But thats not to say that the rubbers won't get tired as they're hardle the best in the world. Might be worth injecting some silicone sealant in the holes on the rubber hangers just to stiffen things up a bit as a...

There are all sorts of tricks you can try, the other is to go down your local carpet shop and ask for an off cut of some premium underlay. Or as Fred said, a bit of dynamat but thats really money for old rope when the sound deadening pads will do as good a job if you double them up.

Listen to the man, as he says we only have a couple left at the moment, and i expect one of those to go VERY soon. We won't be ordereing anymore unless we get a serious influx of interest to warrant us getting another 10 knocked up. A batch of 10 is the only way we can make any money on them...

I wouldn't say Mat has made us look silly, as far as he was aware there were no other system manufacturers that publish a dyno graph, other than the Supersprint which he wasn't aware of which i think is fair enough mistake to make. As for the KTEC one, fair play, but if its not made public as...

The clio boot does seem to have a tendency to act like a big drum! Especially with the parcel shelf in place. If you go to any body shop supplies place they should have a pack of bitumen (or similar) sound deadening packs on the shelf, they're pretty cheap and you can paint over them for a...

Without a doubt i would have thought, they'd probably get you to fit a 182 manifold if you haven't already and then i'd imagine a one-off would cost you £1-1.2K. Drop them an email, i'm sure they'll happily give you a quote.

The 180 degree trumpets are to increase the length of the inlet tract to improve the midrange. The other way to achieve the correct length is to cut the scuttle panel.

That would have probably have been Mat as i couldn't make it, although there were a few people there that have Shed tee-shirts so it could have been one of those guys.

Glad to have another satisfied customer. I'm particularly pleased that you can see, and no doubt soon be able to feel where the extra money has been spent. Far too many people knock the BTB purely on the basis of its price, but it's actually probably the best value system out there (IMO of course)

You'll often find that aftermarket exhausts sound excessively loud in the rear of the car (many standard ones do too) In hatchbacks in particular the boot acts like a big drum, quite often if you take the parcel shelf out its a lot less boomy. More upmarket cars have shelves that are made of...

If you venture onto our website you'll see that we can get virtually anything, we tend to stick to the more premium brands however as thats one of the values of company, good value, high quality products. The only products we really try and push though are the products that we've had developed.

Our system is £495 at the moment, a saving of £100. We'll even fit it for free if you come down to us! Can't say fairer than that! Alternatively you can have it delivered for free if you meet us at the French Car Show.
