Regards Paul C Have you got a plan of how to improve things or is your's just enourmous!!! My only concern with this route is the noise but we shall have to see.

You can see pictures on thenew exhaust on my smugmug gallery, page 3. They are strictly work in progress and were taken this afternoon, high flow cats and louder boxes. Will try to get some audio posted up asap. The cats are between flanges so that they can be "slipped out", -in and the exhaust will be road legal and out will be for track/fun.

Paul, someone's built a skateboard ramp on the back of your car!

[DanH]

Is that the new intercooler on there too?

[paulcundy]

Dear Dan,
It is indeed.

There are more pictures of it on page 2.

Old and new cores

Our IC on left, standard IC on right. Notice the thinner foils in our core which conduct heat from the charge considerably better than those present in the standard unit. Our unit also has more internal surface area than the standard unit both to increase thermal mass (as a whole rather than over the standard unit) and increase cooling capacity.

Paul - new exhaust looks very very tasty! Bore is certainly larger which should minimise any lag previously present. Looking forward to hearing it.

Best Regards
Matt

Edited to hopefully explain things a bit better

Shows how much I know, I thought the new one (i.e. the one that looked "better") was on the right!

Jesus you guys!

I started this thread anew cos my "Intercooler" thread had been highjacked by posts about exhausts.

I start a new "exhausts" thread and you guys promptly start discussing intercoolers on it!

I was going to post some questions to Matt about the IC here, but thought better of it and put them on the correct IC thread. Problem with that thread is that its turned into a semi English literate marketing dual...

Snap

The one on the right must be better, it's shinier

Maybe the photo doesn't do our IC justice? I can assure you (if its important) that our IC is a fair bit shinier than the standard one and the welds look nicer

P.S. Paul - sorry for adding to the thread hi-jack.

I'd agree, could they mean the one in his right hand? the one on the right certainly looks to have a larger suface area internally (well from the end anyway)

The IC on the left of the picture is ours (the one with cooling foil angled at 45 degrees across the core). The internal surface area of our IC is larger than that of the standard unit - don't forget theres over 10% more core length to factor in (507mm vs the 451mm of the standard unit).

[paulcundy]

Bloody hell guys, not only highjacking it again but all this piffle paffle about whether the left or the right has more internal area. Whatever its got and however shiny it is, the one on the left is the one that works. End of story.

Now can you please leave this thread for exhaust stuff only.

That's a serious looking exhaust. I'm looking forward to hearing it.

Is that a 3" system?

How's the tubing? Do the front and rear pipes intersect anywhere?

[mikes_3r]

And here I thought all posts in the Noble forum need to mention intercooler at least once to be considered legitimate.

[gizard]

Well that looks like a good start. I assume that the writing on the rear side of the exhuast denotes where it's going to be cut and where the Kat is going to go. Are you going to put better heat shielding above? Also are they going to be of equal lenght? - I know I keep banaging on about this but I'm led to believe that having equal lenghts is rather important. Have you got some nice shiney bit's to go on the end of the silencers, looks like it might be quite a tight fit. Did you say they were 50 Cell Kats -oh and what about the old ones that are just after the turbo's - are you going to cut them out? - having said that does anyone know what the old ones are? 50 or 100 cell, high flow etc.

I saw a new exhaust today at vegantune. Sounded nice and had gaskets for cat/straight through pipe replacement.

[diceman]

Just wondering how this project is going.. any more pics?

Looks like a nice piece of kit, have you had the car running on this exhaust yet Paul?
