ANYHOW, that rear "BOX" would deffo' hit the speed-bumps [ BTW, all this exhaust business is partly down to you 'cos of the noise yours made at Woodbridge ! ! ! made me feel all inferior-like ! ! THEN, blattin' about Wednesday night with Scoob's I really started getting the urge for a proper rumbly-one ] Fat-noisless-S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Originally posted by Steve W I asked Nathan (TDi) on another thread, if they had 'em both but got no reply..... 'cos they're only just down the road.. You're bl**dy lucky I saw this post.....I only logged on by chance as I was going to be off until Tuesday. You're better off mailing me direct if you are after something than post it here as I dont read all the threads anyway. Anyway, I only have Dragers here as they are far more popular than Hipers and I would say we sell 10 Dragers to every Hiper. Absolutely nothing I have come accross sounds as nice as a Drager on a Soop IMO. I will be here until 5pm and you are welcome to have a good nose around one if you want.

MONKEYmark Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 get one bought and stop pussying around. mine used to be quite bad over speedbumps, it was the old blitz decat middle pipe, since had cw decats and it hardly ever scrapes. used to cringe driving over speed bumps before. now can drive over them ok. cw pipes must sit higher up than my old de cat pipe. i normally go over them on drivers side wheel.if you can avoid areas with speed bumps.

Guest Usmann A Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Steve, have you had a look at the HKS Preist, its like a oval dragger, but is more noisy, as its S/S. I thought I had a pic on my HD, will hunt around for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 i get quite a bit of bottom-scraping so have to go over humps at an angle (which pisses of everyone else behind me cuz i go slow) and have been thinking of changing exhausts (my current one is big-bore but no discernable brand that i can see). have been leaning toward the nur but still unsure...may be time to get CW style raised pipework ?

Nathan Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Originally posted by Steve W ps. just double-checked TDi address/site-'map' ! I thought the River Road flyover went months ago... :p Doh! Yep, need to get that map changed. As you've probably guessed though, River Road is in the same place but the flyover has now turned into an underpass... I think the HKS Priest is no longer available. Could check on Tuesday of you were really interested. More money though...

Paul Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Right, I'm also thinking about changing the stock exhaust after owning my soop for two yrs!! My UK spec is a true 'virgin' in the mods stake, I'd like to get rid of a cat but don't want to have to arse around at mot time so I take it I have the second one removed and exchanged with a replacement pipe? Also, listening to the guys on here I'm tempted to go towards a Blitz Nur-spec, I asume I'd be going for 'cat back'? So, reading what's gone before, the replacement pipe for the cat will help determine ground clearance? As I see it, the CW pipe is the best option? Oh, one major point.........price, what sort of dosh for each, and what to expect for fitting. Cheers Lads, Paul 95UKTT6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted April 20, 2003 Author Share Posted April 20, 2003 I THINK that all sounds right Paul... I think CW's pipes are ~£150/160 each (1 for each cat) I think the NUR-spec is ~£650/700 fitted ? ? (I'm still pricing around) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Cheers Steve, so, you having one or both cats out? I hadn't accounted for the de-cat pipe:conf: so these prices are slightly more than I was thinking. Any 'deals' available or are you still deciding on the make? Paul UKTT6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted April 20, 2003 Author Share Posted April 20, 2003 I've got BOTH out ! NO, it wouldn't go thru' a legit' MOT test without 1 cat' ! ! I got the Mongoose De-cat to match the Mongie zorst that was on it when I got it.... MUCH cheaper (~£170 does both at once !) but, can't put just ONE cat back in:( Jap' (as you've heard ?) can over-boost with both out - but probably the Mongoose zorst is acting like CWs restrictor ring ? ! - it's 'stifling' it just slightly - which isn't really a bad thing when I change pipes I MUST get Guage or Controller fitted to either SEE or CONTROL boost ! ! Your UK could run without either - NO OVERBOOST possible however the MOT thing is your choice ? ? ? FatS. ps. Either Hiper = ~£500 ......OR......NUR = ~£650 Hiper = MORE NOISE ! NUR = St/St ! Still checking 'em out:innocent: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Yeh, I sussed over the last few years that the UK can cope better with both out but I don't think I can be arsed with the hassle at MOT time. If the de-cat pipes are in two parts then I guess that I still have the choice of removing the second at a later date? One other thing, the NUR, does this have a removable baffle as I don't want full on noise but it would be nice sometimes Oh, and I read earlier about the NUR being stainless throughout, seems a bit iffy not having the welds stainless on some other exhausts.

Geezabloke Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Paul the NUR spec is ss throughout and is better made IMO than any of the others available. I too said the baffle was the deciding factor, but since being fitted i hav'nt put the baffle in once, cos it sounds bloody gorgeous without.. :flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Emma Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Originally posted by Paul One other thing, the NUR, does this have a removable baffle as I don't want full on noise but it would be nice sometimes Paul Yes the Nurspec does have the removable baffle, but it does need to be screwing in tightly, otherwise as Martin has found it becomes a missile launcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted April 20, 2003 Author Share Posted April 20, 2003 People are TELLING me the NUR comes with the tail-piece removable baffle .... I KNOW the Hiper has the same thing but SEEMS that you have to buy it as an extra ? ! ? (which I would - want the choice) WOOPS.... Emma beat me to it ! !

Geezabloke Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Belive me , go for the NUR spec its better made (IMO) sounds better (IMO) and is the NUTS.......................(IMO) and you get the baffle you wont use thrown in,,,,,,,LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
