Exhaust for 197 with a 200 diffuser

[Webby.]

As some of you may know i have just picked up my 197, it has a 200 diffuser attached so would I be right in thinking that i need a 200 exhaust fitted so that the tailpipes do not melt the diffuser? or does it not matter either way?

Cheers.

On my brother 197 with 200 diffuser, the previous owner had some exhaust trims made up which stick out of the bumper.

it was more the fact that i head that it can burn the diffuser if you put a 197 exhaust on it rather than not being able to see it...

Well the trims are functional so can see it helping with removing some of heat but the diffusers are meant to have a heat shield on them too.

Did your brothers car have an after market 197 exhaust on it?

 

[Simon_16v]

Nope it's the standard system on it

Sorry probably should have made it more clear.. i already have the 200 diffuser on my 197 with the standard exhuast... im looking at getting an after market cat back and was wondering if i needed to get the 197 or 200 system...

 

[Simon_16v]

You'd need to go 200

Cheers matey... that's good then seen as scorpion 200 cat backs are a lot cheaper than 197 cat backs!

My brother is looking at getting the akropovic system on his 197

haha i don't think i could justify spending a grand on an exhaust although looking at videos they do sound pretty epic...

when i had an exhaust on it i had a 200 exhaust, the only differance in a 197 and a 200 exhaust is the 197 system has slash cut tips.

 

[Simon_16v]

I think the tips on my brothers are quite good for a temporary measure

Cheers man, ahh right I thought that was pretty much the only difference I just couldn't find a definite answer...

Have a miltek on my 200 resonated - at first I thought too loud but now its settled down a bit and only loud when you push it - bit of a bugger to fit

 

[Knuckles]

Videos do the akra absolutely no justice. I thought they sounded a bit s**t after seeing vids, then I went weak at the knees after a ride in a 200 with one fitted.

But yes, a 197 exhaust (slash cut, not extending out of the diffuser) will melt a 200 diffuser... The exhaust gasses being trapped in the diffuser can't be good either

Webby. chaz text me a price earlier, apparently you will get discount too!

 

[Inequality Street]

Webby. i have a 200 Ktec exhaust in my garage at the moment, as I sold my 200 yesterday if you're interested? I also have a decat for it too.

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

Can't wait to hear your new exhaust Webby.! Is it still at Scorpion?

 

[Jcs]

The 200 exhaust tips are slightly shorter iirc. So yes, get a 200 system.

[Webby.]

For any one interested I seriously recommend scorpion exhausts for 197/200 the sound is epic, just need a map now to adjust to it, will post videos soon

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

Let me know when you're next out and about, I want to hear this!!

 

[Webby.]

Pop round tomorrow or something matey if you want

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

Okay mate I will do!
