Different Exhaust Options

[blue 4.5]

What are the different pipe offerings for the Cerbera other than standard and sports pipes. Anyone got any info/pics of different designs and if they actually make a performance difference. I was interested in BossCerberas tuscan pipes and wondered if this would be a simple mod and also are they a better design for performance/life.

if you want performace best stick to the std back box, i've not found anything to outperform it up to 400 bhp yet.

Problem with the back box though, is it lacks performance where it counts. Its welds underperform hilariously, so why they bothered to make it stainless is anyones guess.

Get some sports jobbies on there. IIRC we have a "quiet" JP sports exhaust and honestly, its a totally different experience - you start to think that the standard car is actually rather quiet.

Jools, when you stay standard back box you don't mean sports pipes then?

I have sports pipes all ready, I just wondered if there were anything better performance wise should they need to be replaced.

erm no .. when i say std back box i mean the std back box

[blue 4.5]

It didn't mean to come out so dumb sounding, I just wondered if you had found major differences between the two?

Joolz - do the sports pipes loose a lot of power then? Just curious as my standard box is dropping apart and I'm tempted by JP pipes for a slightly more sporty thrum to the beast! Was also considering decat pipes for trackdays as I've just had to replace a cat and I don't want to make a habit of that. No cat = no cost!! Clearly if sports and decat means huge drop in power then that would be a shame!

Noise isn't a problem as I only really do 'noisy' trackdays now.

Cheers

Well it looks like I don't quite need the new pipes yet, problem was that they were just 'dropping off' from the manifold down. Now back on and fine. Price for this benefit £250....

But at least it doesn't sound like a nova any more

Where are these then? (Not Bedford I'm guessing )

Snet, Donno and Silverstone. Local to me and quite good fun.

My sports pipes are at Joolz's at the moment & available for fitment if you would like to have them ( i have just changed back to a standard back box as my cats collapsed!)

All i would ask is a small donation towards my new back box, i could even post them onto you, let me know if its of any interest, they're virtually new & it seems a shame as i no longer have a use for them

[davetherave1970]

Ahhhhh just bloody bought some new ones.

Donington? I'll be amazed if you get on to a noisy day (105db) with decat & sports pipes... marginal with decat and std back box I'd say. They get a lot tougher every year.

[washy]

Dannylt - I'm not keeping the sports and decats. Sounds awful IMHO and will be rectified over the weekend/early next week. Not sure whether to leave it decat with standard box or cats in with sport pipes or just put everything back how it was i.e. standard!

I'd heard Donno was getting it easier on noise lately. I also thought there were some unrestricted days there this year?

[dannylt]

Definitely not easier on noise - all the tracks are getting worse. I don't believe they have unrestricted days, just "loud" 105 vs normal 98 days. If they do, let me know, because I'd love to go but my throttle bodies are deafening until I find an airbox.
