I have mine hollowed out so to speak. Not getting any resonance that I have noticed. Nice cheap, factory look solution in my opinion. Smile

That's great Chris, especially if he is happy to keep a few on the shelf.
Chris
Yeah, sounds great! I'll give you a ring Chris and let me know how much they are. Big Grin
Ive just come back from talking to Don at the exhaust place, they are getting some flanges laser cut to save time on the 4th November. Are you still OK with the arrangements Mark?

They are extremely busy up there, but are going to get on with the next batch of free flow systems for us shortly after completing the bypass pipes.

So if anyone wants either, get your name down soon to avoid a long wait. Phone Don or Steve on 01623 552262
Despite my recent brush with the criminal element I'd still like to keep my name down for one of these.
Any word on price?
They won't be expensive, but Don needs to make the first one before he can firm up the price.
Ok, tentative interest from me, depending on final price.
Agreed with Mike. Sounds good to me, but how much exactly?

Steve
READ the ABOVE posts please.

Yep, add me to for a bypass pipe (so long as there not over priced) please.
Chris
Are you still OK for tomorrow Mark?
I'll put my hat in the ring for one as well, I'm sure it will be in my budget.
Does any one have an idea of how much this improves BHP or MPG?
Is it bolt in and go or does it need any tuning?
I don't have any concrete figures, but when the DeLorean engineers started developing the Euro-Spec cars, it was one of the first mods they did, along with tweaking the ignition timing and fuel system's. Even some American do it, by fitting a "trial pipe" as they call it!

There has been a delay in getting the first one done at Nottingham. More news as I get it. Their next "lift opportunity" would be in 2 or 3 weeks time.
Having had one of these fitted for a while I think I found a marginal increase in the amount of 'go' available but I'm afraid I didn't notice much immprovement in MPG. My car has always been a thirsty one though and struggles to top 23mpg. Shock

Mine was one of John Tien's one he had made up though, think it's been on about 7/ 8 years.

I did have to trim the end of the tube a bit though, as it passes through the square flange as there was a bit too much protruding to be able to bolt it up square.
