To those members who are itching to do so - please dont bother posting Miltek/Regal blah blah blah is proven and everything else is crud - because there are other options for us VX'rs in the UK that can work.

You should be there about now unloading your wallet
Interested in seeing the results.

By the way have I mentioned the proven power gains from a milltek or regal system?

Sorry couldn't help it

enjoy and looking forward to the write up.

Has he got lost or is it so shite he is embarassed to report back....?

Just got back

Well they have produced a nice bit of kit! Nice big tail pipes as asked, plus they are rock solid and dont move.

Im very impressed with the noise front. I asked for it not to be loud when cruising or idling but to be loud on full beans, nice and track friendly - and they have done it! My Elise was just too loud - this is just fine! But he said he could have made it much louder.

I have taken some sound clips so judge for yourselves

BTW he is getting back to me on the group buy thingy if your interested. He has also taken some pics of the install which he is emailing me.

Pics [sorry about quality of my mobile]






And sound clips [.wav] Turn up those speakers!

I got the VX upto 110 degrees doing this one:-

sounds like a raspberrry in the first clip.

[christurbo]

Right the end???? Thats because I moved my mobile slightly closer to the exhaust. Its hard to record the sound of an exhaust.

[CocoPops]

no, right from the start.... I cold picture a spotty kid with his tongue out blowing a loud raspberry.

Looks good mate

[cheeky_chops]

good stuff Chris - nice to see someone make a decision and get it done without umming and erring for weeks Takes me ages to decide what sandwich i want for lunch

[christurbo]

It needs coking up now for it to produce the best sound - so I'm off down my local dealer for a couple of grams of some Peruvian dancing dust.

[turbonut]

Sounds great, as you say recording an Exhaust is very hard to get the right affect over the internet. So that is with the Pre Cat removed then? Guy

[walkes]

so what about the performance, did you get it RR or not ?

[christurbo]

Nope... not yet, I can def feel more torque. But I need a 200 cell cat and a remap before I get it RR'd for optimum setup.

[RichH]

Did you ask about the price of a 200 cell cat?

[christurbo]

Yes - off the top of his head around £150-£200 IIRC.... although he said he needs to check first and get back to me.

[Jase_MK]

Someone asked me to record this ages ago...
Piper:

(they all sound the same once you record them like this)

[s1oww]

I've had a custom built (designed by me) exhaust on my VXT for years and on rolling roads its producing just as good gains as a miltek and cost me a LOT less . If you get someone that knows his stuff then its a good way to go.

[christurbo]

Agreed Jase - they sound so much different in real life! Mine is probably quite quiet compared to most - I expect! I just couldnt have the same db as my old Elise had - fried my brains! Oh No - The man with the loudest VX is replying!!! EDIT - He's just replied!
