oreca exhaust on a 172 (pics?)

[Gouldy]

hiya

i have seen these exhausts for sale and is ideal for what im looking for, i have seen one picture of these exhausts being fitted and it looks to stick out about 10 inches from the back of the car.

is this right?

do they stick out a foot from the back of the car?

has anyone got any pictures of this exhaust fitted to a 172?

thanks

 

[Gouldy]

no one at all?

^^^^Is this what you're on about?

IIRC it does stick out a bit, like a OMP zorst.

^^^^It's on the list mate, I want something with a bit more rasp :rasp:

 

[Gouldy]

What car did you see it fitted on fella?

IIRC some people have cut down their OMP or similar pea-shooter style exhaust systems.

Can't get enough rasp!

Also if it sticks out to far you can just cut it down as its not exactly a finished bit of steel. Anglegrinder and jobs a goodun

 

[Gouldy]

it was a 172 mate, i dont want this exhaust if it sticks out past the bumper. (the kids jump will jump up and down on it to snap it off the little s***s)

 

[172Ben]

It does stick out yeh if you dont cut it

But fook paying that for one. I paid £324 for my OMP.

 

[Gouldy]

goes the OMP come with a de cat?

 

[Matt_90]

Do they still make the omp ones?

^^^^This?

 

[172Ben]

Kam racing told me they had discontinued them. But you can probably still get them from somwhere.

 

[Matt_90]

I know I will possibly get slated for saying this but I am sure longlife could make one to the spec that you want that would look exactly the same for less than that including decat.

 

[Gouldy]

long life are s**te, a mate has a long life turbo back on his astra GSI and it has rusted to bits in 4 months.

i once had a long life decat made for my VTS and that did the same tbh.

i dont do custom exhausts for this very reason

 

[Matt_90]

hmm, I have one on my current car and its been on for well over 6 months with no issues, and also had one on my previous car with no issues, I think it must depend on what branch you use. You could possibly try BTB exhauts.

 

[Gouldy]

i have heard the different branches thing before aswell, same with powerflow aswell. (although i would rather eat my own head than get anything powerflow on a car again)

where can i get a BTB from mate?

 

[Matt_90]

http://www.btbexhausts.co.uk/ I think they do custom systems, very very good reviews. I am sure someone will be along soon to correct me if I am wrong.

Their clio exhaust page http://www.stealth4clio.co.uk/ which indicates that they only do the stealth systems.

 

[Gouldy]

are they silent?

 

[Matt_90]

The stealth one are desgined not be seen and look like the standard one, i.e. sit up behind the rear bumper, and give a nice tone I belive. Search the forum or youtube I am sure you will find somemore info about them

 

[Gouldy]

its hard to describe but i am after an exhaust with a nice tone thats not quiet and not deafening.

(im awkward i know)

My bro's got the Oreca. It's exactly the same as the OMP which I've got (bar the branding).

He's had about 1 1/2" cut off the exhaust tip so it doesn't poke as much though.

I'll get some pics of it the next time I see him.

They have been discontinued for over two years now. Theres unlikely to be any kicking about.

 

[Kam.]

The oreca one bucks the trend in being a smaller bore by the look of things. Anyone compared these performance wise to the more popular brands? Being a group N system I take it they are optimized more for bog standard engines.

According to this post E11OOT can get a new OMP.

Dunno how true it is though. Suppose you'd have to speak to him.

as far as i were aware they were 63mm nominal bore, IIRC the tip is the same too. so i cant see how they would be restrictive?

They're not restrictive, they are pretty much an exact copy of the OMP units.

Infact there are two versions of the Oreca, the 2 1/4 inch Group N (same spec as the OMP) and a 2 1/2 inch Group A.

 

[Gouldy]

so you found this page too did you?

[Matt Cup]

Yes mate.

Got it shown to me a few months back as my bro had ordered one of them.

 

[Gouldy]

ATM im torn between this and the miltek, whats putting me off is the rocket launcher that petrudes from the bumper

 

[Matt Cup]

Get the tip shortened if your not happy. Job Jobbed

 

[Gouldy]

nice one, thanks for all the replies and info

 

[maynard]

anyone actually got one of these fitted who's on here yet?

could be another option to go for i guess especially if they're identical to the omp's....

 

[Fred@BTM]

^shut up you, you're having a YS if you like it or not!

 

[maynard]

[Fred@BTM]

[maynard]

Then do not buy that exhaust in the OP, that will be loud as feck.
