Custom Pro-Speed Exhaust System

[Donz144]

Oh yeah....just had it fitted today in Cardiff, by Charlie and the boys (I traveled from Brum!) I cant tell you how worth it it was!!

I got a full 2 1/4" system with sports cat back and stealth back box. He hee Im finding it hard to keep the grin off my face!!

It has tottally eliminated lift off deceleration and increased the pull through ALL the gears. This should compliment the GDI work nicely!!

Check out the pics of the work and the video of the SOUND!!

Looking good, i hope to have the same done, what sort of price did it cost?

 

[Donz144]

I got a disscount cause im having about 3k worth of work done at GDi. It was Andy that recommended Charlie at Pro-speed. The exhaust was £535 all in.

 

[Jay]

how much??

nice work, looks good!

 

[fUbAr]

cool, im off up to ProSpeed on the 14th...

what difference does the 2 1/4" system make, and what choices are there?

 

[Andy GDI]

its got a sports cat as well hence the price...

 

[Donz144]

2 1/4 is more than enough to push whatever power you are running through. 2 1/2" will clearly take more but the noise at just 2000rpm will deafen you!!!

Nice, but no what I needed!

 

[WADEY]

Is that the Ktech stealth system?

 

[rmccardal]

2 1/4 has been holding me back since I topped 200 brake.

My next system (AWT) will be somewhere between 2.5 and 2.75 .... with minimal drone.

Nice system though, Charlie is great at what he does.

lol it's a pro-speed

Cant disagree there, I have had 3 pro-speeds now...

the 2.25" is a little small for your engine now.... will be interesting to see what difference a larger bore makes.

 

[WADEY]

lol it's a pro-speed

It was early sunday morning and I was confused!!:banghead:

 

[Donz144]

Surely a bigger bore than 2 1/4" is jusy gonna kill the ability to cruise at 80mph without having to shout at your passenger!!

Andy.....tell me a 2 1/4" will be good for the work im having done. I explained to Charlie what you were doing.

 

[Andy GDI]

Donny, its fine..

Ross has over 215 bhp now and its fine

 

[Darren555]

I too travelled from Bham to have the same exhaust fitted but without the sports cat. It sounds superb and as you say you can still cruise at 80mph and have a conversation.
Thoroughly recommended.

sorry to worry you m8 but jph172 bought a 2.25" bore exhaust from hayward & scott, who also make very good exhaust's and found it actually lost power not gained it. then he had them change it for a 2.5" & it gained power!!! pm him i'm sure he'll give you the low down!

 

[rmccardal]

H&S must have done something wrong then.

 

[Andy GDI]

Granted at the sort of level Ross is pitching, a carfully "tuned" exhaust will make a difference........ but he has different cams etc etc that all demand that little bit extra

 

[rmccardal]

Who gives you extra .... who who who who

 

[Andy GDI]

Asda!

 

[browno]

Will definitely vouch for the noise levels - I've got a 2.5" pro-speed, and although I'm now used to it, motorway cruising can get a bit tiresome!!!!
Still not fitted the de-cat either....

 

[rmccardal]

The drone can be just the same on the 2.25 bore, depends on silencers and where the y piece is.

 

[Andy GDI]

agreed

 

[caymanr26]

i had 2 1/2 inch first but was mental - When giving it a balst it sounded wicked but at 70/80 on the motorway it was a nightmare - with the stereo right up could still hear the exhaust plainly - Charlie kindly changed it FOC

 

[Dan@SJM]

Does anyone know if he does manifolds?

 

[Andy GDI]

not if he can help it..... unless its ££££

 

[Rob669]

I got mine from him too, great exhaust. I didn't get my catalyst changed though, maybe in future. Will the pro speed catalyst be ok in the MOT test, could be better as it's new?

Cheers, Rob669

 

[Andyman]

Anyone know if Pro-speed do off the shelf back box's for 172's ??

Would save a long treck down south then

Im sick of the weight of my Magnex back box plus i want a tailpipe thats a little more subtle.

 

[Donz144]

ANdy, Give Charlie a bell and im sure he'll sort something out for you in the post.
