BL BP Exhaust Thread

Recommended Posts

Yep - what McDoof said. To be able to adjust the length is pretty good.

Right now they're quite far into the body.

And yeah, do like the subtleness of them, I used to have a B4 a while back that had a drain pipe on it and I much prefer this look - nearly like stockish.

And they're pretty thick as well.

Enquired with Xforce about the 184/194 part difference for the two GT wagon items they sell, they've said its related to the factory hp rating, and differs because the later model had 10hp more. It's only listed as 06-09 so I think its safe to assume they're referring to kw not hp. Since when they swapped to the 2.5 they dropped the power to 185ish kw, hadn't heard of this power jump midway through the facelift model though. Clears it up either way.

I just fitted some cheap mufflers on my 3.0R. They were only $150 off trademe, so only done for a bit of fun.

they unfortunately hit the join between the heat shield and the body (this tiny lip).

I probably need new exhaust hangers that are a bit tougher. Anybody have a NZ source or do I need to import?

I also thought about using hose clamps around the hangers (the old tuck mod method). Will try this in the weekend also.

Why buy average ramps when you can create equally average ones for free ay, mine don't particularily like being left out in the rain for a week at a time though, since my projects never seem to get done before some rain comes in. Made them some raincoats out of an old tarp. Might need to make another set out of some more weather friendly wood next time...

I bought H5 treated bearers from Mitre10 Mega. Each one is 50mm thick so I get a 150mm lift. I think for all 4 corners it set me back about $50 all up (no pun intended really). I have to drive onto the first level before I add the other 2. I don't have 150mm clearance to put all 3 under. So that's why I have the bottom one longer. Never thought of using a mirror to see how I was driving on them. I just open the door and hang myself out.

Mine are almost identical to those, just one bit or 200x40ish as the ramp instead of 2 90x45's.:cool:

Worked mint when I couldn't get my trolley jack under the front of the car cos its a bit low...

stolen from LGT.com

Q300 catback with a catless downpipe and EL headers, so in theory it should be fairly similar to what our twinscroll GT's will sound like.

Still do quite like the dirty noises those Invidia exhausts make. No matter how many other options I look into I still come back to wanting this one.

I am busy experimenting with my setup a bit. The Ultrex mufflers are a bit loud for me at times so I am running the stock mufflers right now after having a bit of a tinker this weekend.

Result is actually very quiet. But it is missing the deeper tones from the 3.0R that I get from the Ultrex units. Strangely I think that I have better torque delivery with the stock mufflers on.

I think I am going to keep an eye out for some STI quad tips to try and find a balance.

The other option is to put the Ultrex mufflers back on and try to silence it a bit in the mid section. Just not looking at spending any more money on the car at this point.

Your Ultrex on my Auto have the opposite effect, more torque and no drone which was my primary concern, Matt has tuned for the system as such but I have Raptor headers arriving this week so we will take the next step. Matt's has so far given me 60-70k extra per tank Wellington - Auckland, this can only improve with the headers.

Thanks Nikolai

Got it from Rallysport Direct. Tried getting it from an Aussie store but would have worked out even more suprisingly.

Na cars not running yet. Hoping to have her running again this weekend

Aussie must have one of the most expensive international shipping costs in the world. I was planning on getting a custom clutch from Aussie and the shipping just made it too expensive to think about.

Yeah i think so aye. I got a couple of Process West bits from MRT Performance last year and freight was pretty fast but it wasn't cheap!

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
