WS exhaust upgrade

[vegabass]

Has anyone fitted a full exhaust system to their fez yet?

I'm thinking that a full extractor to tail pipe system is in order and didn't know if there is an off the shelf kit available in oz yet.

I was told by a local exhaust joint that they would do a full system for about $1100. $600 for the extractors and $500 for the exhaust all fitted. Thats pretty expensive but $900 would be more on the money I would think.

So any one done it yet?

That is bloody cheap, the Mountune and PumaSpeed full exhausts are about 1000-1400 euros then you gotta add in conversion rates, shipping and import tax plus fitting.

Just out of curiosity, what size are you going to go? They don't seem to have any information on the proven pumaspeed and mountune exhausts.

Not sure what size I'm going that's why i was seeing if anyone had done it yet

Their systems sound throaty yet quiet and manageable rather than the usual buzz box burrrrrr.

If anyone can find specs of sizes and what not Ill most likely give it a go.

I just got my exhaust done on my WP, it was more for sound and slightly better breathe flow than performance, but i do hope to get get it out on a track day sometime soon,

I got a 4" XForce sports exhaust done with a chrome dump pipe done for $180 for parts and labour

I'll try and take some pics and put up a link to a youtube video

[vegabass]

4"?

I'm new to 4 bangers but thought that a 2.25" mandrel bent exhaust would be the likely size?

Just checked that 1000 Euro is currently $1456.45. That's outrageous for a sports exhaust with extractors but it would be about right for a shop like herrod.

oppps :togo:

i accidentally wrote the 4" dont know wat i was thinkin

the size of the piping (standard) is 2" all the way through to the muffler

here's the youtube vid link:

Ford Fiesta 1.6L Duratec, XForce Sports Exhaust w/ 3" Dump Pipe

and some piccies too

[vegabass]

Is that just an exhaust or with extractors as well?

[Twinpiston]

Just backbox I would say.
And please for the love of god, take the ST badge off!!! (sorry just me being picky)

no just the "buzzbox"

the only reason i got it, was the original was exhaust was deadly silent, and the rear of the car was a lil plain

No its just very bassy, doesnt really change note after 3000 rpm, and there is isnt much of a growl to the exhaust, its kinda basically a consistent louder version of a CAI,

Hope ive it described well enough for u

Not too sure wat u mean by popping on over run though

[Fi.ES.TA]

Was that $185 fitted aswell?

Most exhaust's especially the mini cooper s while you let go of the accelerator there is a pop(sound) from the exhaust thats what i want for my car
i like your exhaust tho, might pop in an exhaust shop soon

Mini Cooper S Stock Noise
not this loud but very close and a lil more longer crackle (burble, popping)

[fiestars]

[InnerDevil]

:
didn't mean to steal your "WS" Thread and turn into a WP thread _

[vegabass]

lol no dramas, WS -WP same $h1111T different stink.

[GoesLikeAZetec]

when you do the exhaust vegabass, take heaps of pics to put up on here... we'll all be following it to see how it goes!

[vegabass]

Yeah not sure when Ill get around to it, my wife is 21wks pregnant and I have heaps of reno's to finish before the baby arrives so it could be after that. Although I might just randomly get it done. And yes Ill take heaps of pics.
