Steve W Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Right, we haven't talked about exhausts for AGES ! ! I think I've narrowed it down to Hiper or NUR-spec ? ? [keeping me' Mongoose cat-pipe in place] The Hiper is supposed to be 'slightly' louder but not a lot in it ? The Hiper is St/St silencer but M/St pipework ? What is the NUR-spec material ? Both about the same 'LACK' of ground clearance ? Whif/TorqueIC both saying ~£500 for Hiper ~£630 for NUR . . typical prices I presume (supplied obviously) ? ANY OTHER OPINIONS/ PROBLEMS ? ? /:sly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Steve! Why didnt you join the group buy for the Veilside Ti!!!! I'd get the Hiper over the Nur spec, but the Nur still sounds sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 AFAIK the NurSpec is a better quality item. BUT...Brian Duff got his made out of stainless all the way from decat pipe for £350 ish. inc a back box. If you can be arsed there are better quality/VFM options. By all accounts Brian's pipe work cost only ~£60 and the back box was the rest of the cost! I have another hole in my SuperDrager's pipework, I think I'm going to investigate getting new pipework welded to the backbox which is still in good condition. £60 and it will be like having a new zaust!

Sharpie Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 IMO the Hiper is slightly louder and looks a little better at the rear, that's why I have one But, the Nur does sound good and is full S/S all the way. I guess, not so much in your face as the Hiper. I have not had any clearance problems but, I do have a stock suspension. Not much in it, in my view. I did get a very good price from CW for my Hiper. If you want to know how I felt following the upgrade see here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4127&highlight=hiper It have before and after photo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted April 18, 2003 Author Share Posted April 18, 2003 NICE 'reporting' Pete ! ! Like the photos too - just what I wanted (could do with same for NUR to see difference). Did you get the removable baffle for the silencer ? ? (I may need that as I do early morning starts:( ) How much bought/fitted (PM if you like !) ? ? FatS.

Sharpie Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Steve, I can not remember the price......it was good though! I went out with Mark Ayling before I made my mind up and we tested the Hiper with and without the baffle. I did not want to by a Hiper if it was TOO loud and I could not live with it. I know that Mark has never used the baffle and I did not buy one.....didn't need one :flame Dev No complaints from my neighbours but, I do not take the pi$$ on my own close.

Doughie Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 My opinion = get the NUR spec. Stunningly well made. Stainless steel. Has a removable baffle which you may be very very grateful for because you may well find the Hiper just too loud all the time. With the Cats out the Hiper is really very loud and you can't quieten it down again unlike the NUR spec which takes 30 seconds to make more civilised by putting the baffle back in. That flexibility wins it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezabloke Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Steve, I had the same problem last week (couldnt decide), I went down to Justine at Torque IC and he showed me both. There is no competition IMO, the NUR spec is the one to go for, the quality alone blows the Hiper out of the water, plus the removable baffle lets you decide if you want to be full on noise wise. The sound from the NUR spec is gorgeous as is the veiw from the rear, which is what most people will see......:flame Dev I would recommend you go see Justine at Torque IC as he even washed the car whilst fitting the exhaust (what service) ,,,LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 NUR spec for me too had a hks drager on old gto tt car so fancied a change of make. the full stainless steel what i wanted most. was dissapointed with sound on way home driving with baffle in it was just a little louder than stock. had both cats in. made me smile when i took baffle out and started it up a nice deep rumble sound and with no cats in and cams it sounds like a tug boat in a good way not bad on price. bet a stock exhaust from toyota will be expensive. it looks well too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted April 19, 2003 Author Share Posted April 19, 2003 THAT's what I really want.... to see 'em both up close... I've got all the piccies and everything but would like to SEE 'em both. I asked Nathan (TDi) on another thread, if they had 'em both but got no reply..... 'cos they're only just down the road.. I might contact Justin and see if he's got 'em both in ? [the only thing that's a shame is when I look at both the rear pics of the NUR and Hiper and see the way they both droop down just in front of the rear tyres:( I'm gonna' go and take a pic of me' Mongie from exactly the same angle this morning to compare - if they're similar-ish then it's TIME TO BUY - mine just NEVER grounds on ANY speed bumps ? ! ? - I'd hate to not be able to go to Tescos ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted April 19, 2003 Author Share Posted April 19, 2003 WELL, I'm not sure what's going on now ? ! ? Just went out and took some pics of me' MONGIE.... It DOESN'T hang down like the NUR or Hiper by the rear tyres HOWEVER, it looks bloody low along the rest of it ? ? I SWEAR, it has NEVER grounded out on any speed humps - and I've been over some pretty bad ones ! ! I've got standard susp' but even so ! TAKING THE PI**.... PETE.... any chance of any MORE pics of yours along the main length (oooooh errrrrrr) ? ? and, anyone with a NUR ? - the same question/favour ? > > >pic of the MONG:- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted April 19, 2003 Author Share Posted April 19, 2003 ps. the N/S/Rear tyre only LOOKS bald on the inner edge... It's an optical dillusion:D (and, before anyone says "CAMBER", "TOE IN/OUT/UP/DOWN" etc. it was like that when I got them with the wheels - just can't bring meself to throw it away 'cos the resdt of the tread and other rear are really good !)

Terminator Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Steve pictures may help a bit, but actual measurements, combined with suspension setup data would be more use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted April 19, 2003 Author Share Posted April 19, 2003 I just wanted to see if they're 1,2 INCHES higher/lower... I WAS pretty much resigned to the fact that any louder/bigger bore pipe was gonna' hang lower..... but having just seen MINE, now I'm not so sure ? BUT, if not, why does everyone moan about speed-bumps ? I really don't even have to think about them (though I've NEVER gone over them fast anyway in ANY car - we do so many ball-joints /suspension repairs at work it persuades you otherwise!!

Terminator Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 I have a Hiper on stock suspension AFAIK, I have only grounded once, not due to a speed bump but the state of a road/dirt track. Some speed bumps have a good shallow ramp. You can spot the steep ones and crawl over. The worst ones are those nasty narrow bolt down jobs.

Steve W Posted April 19, 2003 Author Share Posted April 19, 2003 I don't suppose Matt does/keeps 'zorsts ? He's mainly Audio, isn't he ? (might be down there this afternoon - want him to see if he thinks my Soop is "OK" in steer/susp/ etc - I THINK it IS but wouldn't hurt to get an 'expert' opinion...... NO ROUNDABOUTS THOUGH !) Where was Justin's place (I know I went there, but forgotten now! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Steve as Em said you're more than welcome to come and see my Nur spec over the weekend. But just to add to the thing about grounding out, believe it or not when mine grounds out it's not the Nur spec but the CAT removal pipe at the front. My car is lowered on Eibach's and Bilsteins though. Also my Nur spec is quiet unique in that i don't have a middle box only a rear one. IMO workmanship on the Nur spec is a lot higher than the Hipe, have not heard of anybody having problems with Nur's failing at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted April 19, 2003 Author Share Posted April 19, 2003 HE's RISSEN ! ! (that don't look right ? ?) Sounds luverly (sounds...pun...get it ?) YES, if you wouldn't mind too much...... WITH milk.... 1 sugar.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
