Oe+ Type Stainless Exhaust.

Recommended Posts

Does anyone do a standard type stainless exhaust like vw heritage do for the mk2 golfs. If not what is the closest to standard looking, tail pipe wise, noise and diameter exhaust on the market?

I have recently had a standard mild steel exhaust fitted, having removed a 3 inch stainless system as it was too loud.

It now looks really nice and standard, but still sounds good if you know what I mean.

Cost was £120 but I had to then locate a standard manifold as the 3 inch job had a different one, that cost me another £100

 

exterior diameter of the downpipe is 65mm

 

I will find out who supplied it and let you know as I didnt do it myself.

I'd like a stainless OE looking/sounding one too.

 

After searching, the only way is to have one made at a stainless exhaust specialist and they were approx £300 for the whole system excl manifold when I last looked into it.

Doesn't Miles sell one of these?

 

 

...I may be mistaken though.

I would also be interested in a standard looking exhaust thats not too loud, Miles might even do a group buy discount???

I was looking into it but there was little to no demand when I posted about it. The hardest part is the D/P flange to the manifold & the split pipe, On a small scale these cost allot of money so make the systems turn out to be very expensive, I tend to use old flanges but the split is a complete new ball game. Without the split is easy

What do you mean split? I was thinking of just a system that utilises the cast manifold type flange, or did you mean stainless manifold with a std type flange, though there would be no advantage to that.

The original downpipe was two sections of D shaped sheet metal welded together to create a 4-2-1 effect when bolted to the 4-2 cast steel manifold.

 

Janspeed iirc used to do a replacement which was two tubes of similar length and a standard flange, i dont think this would be hard to replicate though may not be cheap to do properly.

I was after one of your off the shelf stainless exhausts for a GTI6 conversion

GTi6 Conversions are dead easy, All in stock as there's no split in the D/P etc

Oh ok I must have a replacement d/p as I'm sure mine isn't split. I certainly can't visualise it..... I think it just finishes in the manifold and goes into 1 in the d/p.

Most don;t have the split these days, same old thing is cost and Garage's etc not knowing what effect it has on Performance, More top end than anything.

 

The Janspeed one I was told it was a OE Pug one of the time modded to fit there system

I always thought the flange and downpipe were stainless. Certainly the cat versions are. After the cat however, anything goes.

odd that the 405 and 605 are on the list but not 205 :lol:

Miles give us a text when you got 5 minutes, I might be able to supply the D shaped tubing required to make standard split downpipes, expect it would only be a goer if you could make 5 systems to foot the cost of the tooling.

Surely it can be two separate tubes of same diameter. I got a custom one made for one of my customers with the split for a Saxo VTR racecar

of course, that's what the Janspeed unit was.

 

using a D section tube will allow for a larger cross section within the space available, as per the original pipe, not such a concern for a TU engine where the DP is at the front and underneath the engine, not in an exhaust tunnel alongside the gear linkage.
