DPF internal removed yesterday and has given 3 times the increase felt from egr blanking,

Levin is now top of the list,

I've took a bit of the dpf combe home for a Souvenir lol

The DPF would have been the main bottleneck in the exhaust system, holding the 2-1/2 inch system back - now it can reach closer to its potential (the turbo is almost bound to spool up faster, and probably worth a few (measurable) Hp on the dyno too)

Thanks mate,

I got a look at the flexi-downpipe too,

Its already 2.5" internal diameter the same as the exhaust so its now 2.5'' free flow from cat to tip,

Only restrictions are a 1" micro mesh cat and the muffler :)

Such a shame that you have come this far but not done the last little bit - if you got that bit done you might not have to wait for V so much if she was following you in your Levin! :lol:

Is the muffler a "straight through" tipe? (not very restrictive)

I forgot to ask - is it noticably louder?

I'm guessing vickis response to this will be something like "I'd be happy to be miles behind him in the ugly car"

But anyways the muffler is a straight through type part of the kit from piper,

And I asked if it would be OK to remove the cat too and he said best to leave it in there so I did.

But I notice it deeper base grumble like a mustang lol

Not loud like raspy loud but yes more deep base grumble

And sounds good in 5th the grumble idles when boost is low and crushing at 120kmh

But when you floor it in 5th you hear this surge of grumble as the boost rises lol

I'll try get Vicki to video it tomorrow or Vicki to drive it around and I'll video

Are cats different from petrols to diesels? only wondering as I have a new 200 cell sport cat lying around ;), would of thought it would sound different Lenny, I know when it all comes out they sound weird like a chuf chuf lol :huh:

Its defo louder more like gaa players growl now ... had few new lookers at it today and wasn't cus lenny was hanging out the boot this time

I think they are different mate, The focus now sounds like an impreza that repedative grumble on acceleration.

Because petrol gives off different gasses compared to diesels so the catalyst would be different to neutralise some of those as it passes through,

What diameter is the 200 cell and is I T304 ?

The exhaust sounds jus like this video, but with absolutely no smoke

will have to check but aint stainless, peeps go mad for stainless but stainless is brittle and dont like going hot then quenched with rain water, it cracks mate especially with 4 branches etc, of course there's exceptions to that rule but it gets pricey.

heres a pic of said Cat.

Ohh there tasty lookin alloys mate lmao,

I'm lookin to fit a 4-2-1 in the Levin with a varex adjustable mufflet next year,

if your selling the cat an its 2.5" let me know and I'll purchase in January if you still have it then,

I've fond a video matching he sound of the focus today, I've upload on the page previous to this.

Sounds a lot different, deeper and louder. those are bbs rx2 wheels and only 15", Ithink the cat is 2.5" but will check.

A mix of dpf internal removal followed by fitting a 2.5" pipe from dpf chamber to the tip,

With free flow muffler.

What about the silencer? isn't that after the DPF? I want to have the DPF chopped out etc and new exhaust fitted. who done yours lenny? and is it 2.5" from the down pipes all the way through including boxes of course?

That company in the video is portuguese sadly not a british company because i'd buy one of those exhaust! i'm after an exact sound like that

Well mine isint exactly like that,

But piper exhausts in the uk made mine,

Its 2.5" internal from the dpf chamber all the way through the flexi and muffler is 2.5" aswell,

Piper sent mine over ready built.

Oh yeah i forgot my bad bro lol. Lenny i'm a bit confused looking at the exhaust system from this company

http://store.trwperformance.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_90&products_id=169

two exist pipe but is this with or without the DPF how did you attach your exhaust to your already fitted DPF and cat? is it the same to be done with the system from this site?

I got a portuguese who could help with the language barrier and get it sorted even possibly pick it up for me

That is with dpf and down pipe,

It bolts on to the down pipe a straight swap,

If I was you I'd purchase the turbo down pipe there too,

Then get dpf electronic delete,

You can then fit the new system,

Pop the dpf back on for not,

Or get the shell fitted to the new turbo down pipe.

Yeah i did find it in english thanks bud. on the photo of the two line system, did they put it together for photo purposes? is there a link there where DPF connects? i think i can see it from the pics but not sure. yeah i think i will purchase this kit including the turbo down pipe it's not a bad price. will have a word with my mate and get him to order it for me
