Phil 87 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I found something interesting about insurance, apparently AXA don't consider a stainless stell exhaust to be a significant mod. I got another online quote and answered yes to "does the car have any modifications?", and it then asked if there are any modifications not in a list including things like trackers, parking sensors, and for some reason a stainless steel exhaust. So it would only add about £13 to my premium :). I might have to call them to confirm this, because I was expecting it to cost a fair bit more like any engine mod would. Does anyone know why they don't seem to be bothered about changing the exhaust? I know it probably won't make any noticeable difference to the power, but surely a full exhaust system can add as much power as a remap or air intake. Also a new exhaust could (and should) make the car sound different, possibly making the driver act more like a boy racer lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Well the wife is a bit suspicious now. I frightened the Willys out of here :d The mountune MR165 is fantastic, absolutely amazing, like night and day :) That 2nd gear rush you get will be quite addictive. Just need to hide the recipient now or the wife will kill me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I'd like to see how it compares to a standard ST in straight line speed. Mountune claim 0-60 in 7.2s which is only 0.3s more than the official time for the ST, but I doubt it's that close. Of course that could just be down to the fact that the 1.0L can get to 60 in 2nd.

SuperAl Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Willy What difference have you noticed sound wise since you did the upgrade? Is the turbo louder or more induction noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 The induction on its own has given more waste gate noise. Also get a nice bit of engine roar at full throttle. Don't hear the turbo whoosh much but that maybe because the cars still new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperAl Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I didn't think the mountune induction would make much noise as its not an open cone like the others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I didn't think the mountune induction would make much noise as its not an open cone like the others Your right mate. It's louder than standard but quieter than an open cone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
