Guest payne3400 Posted November 3, 2006 Hi, has anybody had any probs using a 1 box stainless system with the XU10? I'm not going to name names, but I've heard that if you don't run a cat, it blows the turbo seals through lack of back pressure. Is this true? Never had this prob on my cossie and that had 2 cats originally! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted November 3, 2006 Nope not true, maybe in some cases..But not in mine.I run a straight (One rear box,no cat)through 2.5" Stainless steel jobbie and its fine;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonofsam 5 Posted November 3, 2006 No worries dude Here's how I made mine, cost me less than £100 to build in the end and I've still got enough bits left over to build a side exit exhaust Bwarp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you had any probs with smoking? Was thinking of running two silencers to increase back pressure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted November 4, 2006 Cheers:)Nope No smoking now.Did a bit to start with, but i put this down to the protective layer of oil on the stainless steel tubes and bends I bought burning off and my grubby mits being on them too. lol The kind the silencer you would have to fit to increase back pressure could be a real performance killer! As you you want the least amount of turbulence after the Turbo;) To help it spin up quicker. I was also sceptical about the noise, but it really is quiet, especially compared to my old twin box Janspeed system on my old N/A 1.9 8V. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
