Does anyone know the current price for a Roush Exhaust Systen? and has anyone fitted this product themselves? Richie

I paid 2.5Kish with the pump and ceramic coating. I fitted it myself.
It is not too bad, but you need good access to the underside. I have a pit and would not have been able to do the job without it.
Biggest jpb was removal of the old one. You will need a grinder!!! Some of the bolts can be a bitch.

The fuel pump installation and loom change is easy.

If you have it done by Roush they will put in on a rolling road before and after, they will also tune it to the exhaust.

I think about the same price.

But are they still doing them? I'd heard they can't be bothered with Nobles any more because there is very little buisness with them.

I weas told by then that it doesn't include the R/R session, that's another £200 odd quid.Would love one, but it always just seems a little expensive for me to warrant it.I understand Graham at Noblemods might may have another exhaust up his sleeve in the new year.

Urban Racing over in Warrington will manufacture a complete system for the Noble complete with 200 cell cats 2K inc vat. They are also a Pro-Alloy dealer so they do the Pro-Alloy intercooler. Richie

I'm sure they will, but have they any information as to how there exhaust effects the performance?

Roush supplied/fitted my exhaust complete with remap. Very happy with final result. IIRC (would have to dig paperwork out) found me an extra 30BHP.

its a lovely piece of kit, i know a company that makes very nice custom exhausts but if i do decide to change my exhaust, it will be the Roush one and nothing else. its a shame they don't come as standard with the noble.

I have a Roush exhaust fitted, but to be honest I took it on as they could supply and deliver inside a week at that time.
I would have fitted my own pump and gone to Haywood and Scott who have an equally impressive design (apart from the tail pipe shape you wouldn't know which was which)at a very competetive price.

In any case I would recommend a rolling road session after fitment, Trevor from Roush is a dab hand and has the required software to re-map.

How come some of the race cars dont have the Roush system fitted? It seems a very complex system with alot of tight bends! is this really the best layout for turbo engines or is a shorter layout with less bends the way to go?

Getting shot of the restrictive "Y" section is the main thing.

The existing cable to the pump energises the relay. This restricts where you put it. Unless you extend the existing wires. Mine is mounted on the underside of the top chassis member above the fuel pump.

Has anybody got one from them? Apparently the price is roughly half that of the Rousch.

I have the H&S exhaust, been on the car for coming up to 3 years. quality is excellent from a company that just make exhausts. It is also less than half the price of the Roush one fitted, and gives good results ( my car is 390bhp on the roush rolling road).
Sure someone will be along in a min and say they are crap. I would bet a very large amount that the difference between the 2 in terms of performance is minimal.
The roush exhaust is nice, is it worth double the H&S one...for me, no.
You can have the H&S one ceramic coated if you want, about £200 IIRC.
Feel free to PM me if you want more info.

I would be very intrested in any info you have. Dont suppose you have any pics? I am being told by some of the ford competition boys that the Roush system has far to many tight bends to extract the max from the exhaust system. I know this system is a vast improvment over the standard system and has proven power gains but that doesn,t make it the best system that can be manufactured.
