AG 200 Cup

[N0ddie]

Best exhaust for the 200 by far, i may get along to this Stirling meet!

What meet is that?

You get any before it was on the car i wanted to see the quality of it ?

Unfortunately not. Though the guys that fitted it said it's the best quality exhaust they have seen for a Ren. Sport

Those tips look fancy.

Much lighter than standard?

I was a bit dubious about them at first but I do think the rear looks better with out the flashy chrome tips. Think the book says the system is 7(ish) Kg lighter than standard.

 

[koi]

omg just watched that vid, sounds amazing!

 

[oliver.james]

Lovely stuff; as said already, without a doubt the best system for the 200.

The one ill need a Delorean for, i just realised i missed it lol

 

[.Stevo.C.]

How much did that skin you if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Scott Parker]

How loud is the system? I'm at the end of my tether with my K-tec and putting the standard system back on tomorrow. I don't care if i lose 4bhp and gain 7kg's, i need the peace I think the Clio is the only car i have owned that the exhaust is louder inside the car than out, I would of thought the Akra is pretty much the same! Maybe i'm just getting old

 

[chriscummins7]

That is awesome!

Its £1k.

The reason I chose this over any other was that its just as quite (almost) as the standard system when you want it to be, but step on the loud pedal and it sings its sweet tune.

Finally got a wee vid made up of the Akrapovic exhaust. Got Emma to record me coming up the Applecross road earlier on today.

The vid is made up of the same footage shot with 2 different cameras (Didnt know how to shoot video on the Canon at the time so was just to be safe).

Think it sounds awesome tbh:

Lovely mate love this car

Shame there was no drive by......?

I'd love to stick one on my 197, but I think my gf would cut my nackers off if i spent that on an exhaust

 

[Matt W]

Nice!

We tried today for a drive by but when watching the videos back all you could hear was the wind.

Back in the hotel after our 3 day Highlands/West coast roadtrip and have uploaded some pics of our trip so thought I'd stick them up.

Washed the car first thing on Friday morning an took a quick pic at Stirling services before she got all dirty:

We set off through Callander, Crainlarch etc before stopping off for a pee break at the Green Welly services:

We then had a decision to make; via Fort William or Oban? Picked to go via Oban as we'd done Fort William last year. Glad we did though as the roads were awesome. Long sweeping bends (Proper RS country). Then met some local wildlife:

Then we came across this big chap in the middle of the road (But he wandered off it before Emma could get the camera out:

And some more pics of the 200:

After random stop off:

Cool castle:

The sun then set on day 1:

Stayed the night in Invergarry Hotel.

Day 2 pics:

Pic of the 200 and hotel:

Set off up the road and stopped at the "something" viewpoint:

Yes, we do get the sun in Scotland lol:

Finally got to do the Applecross road (Proper name is Bealach na Ba, translated means Pass of the Cattle):

Me coming back down the first half so Emma could get a vid:

Me heading back down the second half to Emma could get a vid:

The video:

Is it sad that I match the car?

Came across this when we tried to get down to the beach with the Clio:

Turns out its something to do with torpedo testing

I like this one:

One of the many abandoned houses up there:

Think al leave it in gear just in case lol:

Day 3 pics:

Some more of the locals:

Found that wee pier that Lou_m posted a while back:

And as far North you can drive:

Nothing but sea from that point.

Epic mate!

Looks bloody clean is most of those pictures. Love the low cloud shot.

 

[Matthew]

Epic mate, love this car. Scenery is awesome too. Love my trips to the highlands, can't beat it. Nothing in England/Wales comes even close to the roads up there.

Excellent.

The car is covered (And I mean covered) in tar spots that are really pi$$ me off.

Looks clean from a distance but guff up close.

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on it. It's looking fantastic.

Lol. You'll regret ever saying that.

Proper taste in car and mods there, like it a lot. Can't wait to get a bit of extra noise out of mine this weekend now (not spending over 1k on a system though)

The old centre box removal?

 

[JCC]

Indeed, decided to give it a try after trawling through the thread over on 197.net, may upgrade to a proper system in future if I like it.

Chaz (The other weegie AG 200) has had his done and it does sound good.

 

[GrumpyTwig]

N0ddie any idea how the carbon tips fit? are they a complete replacement i.e. not bonded over the top and can they be removed easily?

The ako system really intrigues me, but makes my wallet cry

They aint bonded now. Not looked properly but it looks like some sort of clip holding them in place.

Epic pics there, every time I see these I think about a Black spoiler for mine, really suits it with the Black Cup bits imo

Best angle (like most of the pics ) is rear 3/4

Thought someone would notice lol.

Slight exageration there!

Basically if you floor it from less than 2.5k you get a crazy dip in power then a surge againat 3k. Only if your booting it in second you feel it!

Sounds shithot though!

Figured if i called you a b**ch youd appear quicker with a link to the video i took on your phone ?!

Aye heard the flatspot mentioned a few times, another reason for doing it this way first, see if I can put up with it before investing in a full system! Does the Akrapovic suffer from the same thing?

When driven properly the flatspot isnt noticable at all. If you try and accelerate away in 6th or 5th then you can feel it a tad.

Like I said though. Drive it properly (Not necessarily gunning it) and you wont notice a difference

Was up at Knockhill on Tuesday night and managed to get some decent vids. Was a very busy night (The busiest I've seen for a 2 hour session) and a lot of very expensive machinery. I've uploaded 2 vids so far to youtube and have another 2 to go up (They take fudging ages to upload on my connection coz they're HD). Anyways:

Vid 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTTu-uzLS20
