My full exhaust system, including sports cat, pictures

[Se7en172]

These pictures are only of the tails, what you guys think! I'm very happy

 

[sharkaroo]

That at Janspeed Salisbury? Looks good btw

 

[Beef-Mc]

I quite like that actually.

Get a recording of the sound up.

 

[Paul.]

[towlie]

Very nice...very snug.

 

[my172]

That looks really good!!

 

[Alan]

[Se7en172]

Yes I just had the pictures sent through, with my tail pipe choices, picked this one

 

[Simon_172]

very very nice ;-)

 

[Alan]

How much was it matey??

 

[seb]

will it/does it matter it is close to the palstic diffuser? no issues of melting etc? looks real nice btw

Its probably got a heat shield! and this is a prototype for janspeed to use so its not for sale yet!

 

[Scaggeh]

That looks ace, would def get one if i had a 197!

 

[Gareth]

looks awesome, but as said I'd be very worried about burnt plastic / knocking

 

[DebV6]

That does look good!

 

[Hoppy]

fits in with the lines nicely. i like exhausts that look like they are meant to be there. good choice

 

[fuzzi]

they look awsome. best pipes ive ssen in a while. looks kinda like x5 's

 

[Dash]

Best 197 exhaust I have seen so far. :approve: :approve:

It's not bad heh, looks far far better than I expected

 

[bmh.01]

Is the bit that fits the diffuser a surround with the exhausts exiting in the middle? Or as said i'd be worried about melting plastic. Looks quite nice either way but i'm not 100% sold.

Was this the one they're developing on? Get any other goodies?

 

[Se7en172]

It's heat shielded so it will not melt, I will be having a carbon fibre custom induction kit, I was offered a set of coilovers, but I was worried about it not feeling right in comparison to the brilliant cup setup so I opted out

 

[Christophe]

really nice that !!!

 

[Race2theRedline]

Very nice, almost looks OE. As above interested to hear what it sounds like, I've not even heard a standard 197 exhaust from 'outside' the car.

[Marky_]

Hmmmm, not sure if i prefer it to standard.

 

[Neil G]

Looks okay

Whats OE mate?

 

[Flame172]

wheelbarrow

 

[MarkCup]

Surely the...

...brilliant cup setup...

...included a functioning diffuser?

40% less downforce at the rear...hello lift-off-oversteer.

don't start

The diffuser i'm pretty sure is more cosmetic than anything else, This is hardly an F1 car.
These are only tailpipes you see sticking out and weigh bog all, I cannot see them making no difference to the minimal difference the diffuser makes anyway

 

[anthrogan]

looks the t.ts...

Id still get it on coilovers...

 

[leeds_182]

Looks good mate.

Original Equipment, looks like it was made that way. Shame about the loss of the diffuser

[Fletcher]

I prefer the look of the standard exhaust tbh.

 

[HartZ]

Do like that mate! looks serious

It's not the weight, but the fact that the diffuser is blocked on 3 of the 5 channels.

Renault spent 'some' money developing the undercar airflow, and with the addition of a diffuser made it contribute to the car's overall handling by reducing lift at the rear

 

[BioHzrd]

Like it mate its sweet !

Yeah but "40kgs at very high speed".

If he is super fused he could always fit a cup spoiler.

Actually do it anyway!!!

You say that, but there's been plenty of times when an extra 15-20 kgs over my rear axle would have helped me out. That's what potentially has been lost here.

 

[Se7en172]

I don't know if it going to effect the way it handles. But I doubt it will very much, once I have the car back complete(10th April) I will let you all know how it is (it will be superb).
Cup spoiler is on the agenda PB. Likley to be on the next to do list AFTER painting the side stripes and wing mirrors gloss black.
