R26 Best Exhaust System?

Discussion in 'Mechanical - Engine, Gearbox, Exhaust etc' started by Pagey3103, Apr 5, 2014.

  1. Hi all

    Can't see any previous threads on this. Wanting to know which is the best exhaust system for the R26. The systems I know of are:

    - pure motor sports system
    - RST system
    - KTEC 2.75/ 3"
    - Miltek

    Opinions on sound, loudness, fit, cost etc welcomed on these or any others people know of.

    Cheers Si
     
  2. Don't forget scorpion :wink: Cheapest on eBay
     
  3. I have scorpion, can leave it warming outside without neighbours moaning but makes a nice racket when going, fit and build quality is good too, if you have a welder get a milltek, had 3 so far for different car and every one has broke going into the boxes, baffles collapse too.

    cant comment on the others though.
     
  4. really interested in everyones opinions on this. I've already got a milltek 2.75 decat and i can get a brand new milltek on the cheap, is the milltek loud enough with a decat? I've read its quite quiet.
     
  5. i heard a milltek the other other day, wouldn't say it's was quiet but should think from inside the car it would be, sounded loutish from outside but not corsa loud lol
     
  6. That was turbo back too btw
     
  7. Read some good things on here about the new exhaust from RSTuning, 3" all the way!
     
  8. anyone ever had a custom built exhaust rather than a make bought exhaust?
     
  9. Me too but I can't see anything on their website about it. Not much on YouTube either
     
  10. Do you have the non-resonated version?

     
  11. Yes, single box with decat
     
  12. I'm looking at exhausts for when I pick up my 225. Scorpion is the cheapest but seems to sounds pretty good. Is it intrusive on the motorway etc?
     
  13. Not one bit, I can talk, not shout at a passenger at high speeds with no problems. It's not noise at all from inside but has a nice bark to it.
     
  14. Sounds bloody ideal then!

  16. not or too far from me, your welcome to come have a listen if you like.

    lee
     
  17. this sounds identical to my ktec 3 incher lol i want something abit louder i thinkk
     
  18. I'm booked in next week for 3" full system with no boxes, that should annoy the neighbours lol
     
  19. What are you doing with your old one Keefylad?
     
  20. bizzle has his name on it mate so far.
     
  21. Damn! Well if anything falls through, let me know :-)
     
  22. Will do mate, he's giving his in px, need something quiet for when I sell lol.
     
  23. I have a scorpion system I don't use any more and I'll have a 3" back box for sale in the next few days as I have just picked up the new style Ktec back box.
     
  24. How much for the scorpion system?
     
  25. Scorpion system

    Can't see a Scorpion system on eBay for the R26
     
  26. Lark speed do them for £350
     
  27. Scorpion system has gash tail pipes iirc?
     
  28. Quite like the RST exhaust sound although im not sure of the fit of it within the rear bumper from the YouTube clip.
     
  29. Pure motorsport system for me...Group buy running too atm!
     
  30. What do you mean buddy ? I can go grab some pics of it if you need / want ? Any angle ..
     
  31. The view from behind looks like the tips are not centralised and too close to the base of the bumper. Can u get a shot lower down and a close up of the tips?
     
  32. Let me get them in the light , its gone dark now.

    My rear mount is a little saggy, so that doesnt help.
     
  33. Cool mate thanks, my mount s went last month and when I got it repaired found the exhaust has burnt the paint on the lip of the bumper.
     
  34. Look at these pics , as I said the rear mount is a little saggy. It can go up a bit.

  35. Thanks for the photos Andy, I see what you mean if the mount didn't sag it would be a more central fit. Does it have an RST engraving on the tips ( you know like the ktec systems do). Can't quite see from the photos above.
     
  36. No, there are no markings on the tips.
     

  37. Yeah they look crap too
     
  38.  
  39. Go to the group buy section on here bud its in there :smile:
     
  40. I've just had a Scorpion exhaust fitted to my 225. Might not be one of these top of the range systems but for me it's exactly what I'd hoped, a bit more beef to the exhaust note and still fine on the motorway. You also get a few little pops and crackles now and again, loving it. Cheers to @keefylad for sorting it
