OMP grp N exhaust

[st33ly]

Am very tempted to order this exhaust tomorrow! It for my mrk1 172. Its a three peice de-cat aluminumised steel system. Single 3 5" round tail pipe. I need your opinions before I order it as looking for a supersprint has turned up nothing. Its costing £315 including p&p.

Help me. Cheers

cant remember, lol
thats why i suggested PMing him

 

[st33ly]

Yeah Dogmaul but hes not sure what he is doing so it kind of leaves me at a blank. Ive sold the magnex and need to find a exhaust fast. Devil do a complete system @£420 but i cant afford that!

 

[McBunny]

grp n is better than a performance exhaust imho aslong as its just a single small backbox and a a good bore pipe all the way through

 

[st33ly]

Yeah am sure it is just a single small back box, but dont know what bore it is! You think it will be to loud for everyday driving?

 

[McBunny]

anything like the ss and it will be loud and will get on yer tits but when you give it some you will forgive it

 

[st33ly]

What do you think of it being alu steel instead of stainless mate?

 

[McBunny]

both will rust so not a problem really lol

 

[st33ly]

Will their be a problem of it running lean? I dont want to sound like a f**k wit that knows nothing but dont want to spend all that lolly and find that itll f**k the motor. Oh and cheers for your advice on this mate.

Just an exhaust wont make you run lean enough for any problems.

if somebody has space i think i have it on vid.....i think

I had an OMP GrpA on my clio, its loud, raspy, hangs average, cheap...its meant to be bashed and replaced often. THye dont last, the welds blow, they rust fast etc.....

but for the money, they are fun lol.

the 172 sounds nice on it, to me.

 

[st33ly]

Once again edde big thanks! Unless anyone is selling a supersprint by tomorrow morning then ill order this tomorrow + Ill post pics as soon as its fitted!

 

[st33ly]

Just ordered it today so should be in here in two weeks! Whoo yeah! Thank dogmaul and the other!

Cheers

 

[McBunny]

enjoy it bud just a shame its not a ss maybe one day hey

 

[st33ly]

I but if I look after it, it will last just as long!!

 

[McBunny]

hehe well you might have fun trying

 

[st33ly]

I know taking the thing of every so often is going to be a right pain in the arse! Its the thought that counts though!

 

[MAC30L]

Just my 2p worth.

I used to run heavily modded Mk2 XR2s. I used Grp N Ashley exhausts and manifolds. One day at the rollers, I ran my XR up and read 131bhp (1600cc still!), then changed the exhaust to a magnex system and manifold. Ran the motor again and read 124bhp. Grp N is the way to go. In my case, the Magnex looked the part but it was twice the price of the Ashley. Granted, the ashley was lucky if it lasted a year

 

[st33ly]

Hope thats not the case with this as the OMP is the same price as the Magnex!!!

 

[BenR]

my omp only lasted a few months.

Its in the bin now, after welding it several times.

 

[st33ly]

Ive got it but think am going to struggle to fit it myself! Ive tried to undo the cat bolts and i cant get the manifold -cat bolts undone also! Anyone any sugestions?

 

[richy]

i have the devil grp n system on my williams, its not fairing to bad at mo, bit rusty being mild steel but sounds nice n raspy, and rally type sound as a friend has told me, have scorpion decat though

prefer it to magnex i had on previous cars

 

[st33ly]

Am try to fit it myself @ the moment but its not happening. Cant get the manifold studs to exhaust studs of!!! Bugger!

 

[willy 0329]

i had to hacksaw my bolts off luckly my kit came with new bolts it took bloody ages but worth it do these systems have striaght through center sections
