Piper need 10 people before they will go ahead, perhaps with a nice group buy discount Garry ?
so if you want a 2.5" cat back system for your vx220 (z22se) please add your name to the list
might be an idea to add what you want as well; 2.5" cat back : 2.5" downpipe : 4-1 manifold
Thanks for setting this up Vocky. Shall be keeping an eye on it for you
But i think i should be making a slot in my development schedule already to keep you all happy

what about noise? will it be track friendly? by that I mean similar to milltek levels
Being a 2.5" bore system it will be louder than the 2.00" Milltek system. Sadly this is a side effect of a large bore system. If this development goes ahead tho we shall be looking at ways to reduce the noise to a more track friendly level.

No option for a 3" system?
Not for a NA car, its just way too big. Sorry.

Any idea on price & looks?
Price - Not yet, but shall look into this. It will very much depend on the way in which the system is made, bearing in mind it needs to be track friendly.
Look - See below.

This looks like it should be a good development job we have here. I can however see a few problems already. Mainly with regards to the noise. You all would like a system to be developed in 2.50" pipework, which will be loud, but you would all like it track friendly? This is going to be a problem
In the past we have found a couple of ways to combat this:
1) Fit additional silencers - Not possible due to lack of space
2) Reduce the bore inside the silencer - Will reduce the flow rate and limit performance
3) Fit a tailpipe with the option of having a restrictor added for track use - loud when in road use, limits power in track use
So, which of the above options would you like me to work with? And i shall look into it.
Another thing is the tailpipe. As its a new development i can consider new options at this point. My initial thoughts are to offer 3 options:
1) Two pipes, one over the other - inwardly rolled - Black ceramic coated
2) Two pipes, one over the other - outwardly rolled
3) A single tailpipe with restrictor option - for track use
Again, let me know what your thoughts are on this
Target price is another thing i would like your opinion on. As an example our current 2.25" system is £437.00 inc VAT. Now, the more work that goes into the 2.50" version the more it will cost. Now i keep hearing positive things about the Milltek system (except the 2" bore) and that retails at £618.80 (
http://www.thorneymotorsport.co.uk/products/product_info.php?cPath=23_69_105&products_id=2709) so am i correct in assuming that if we can offer a 2.50" system for around the £600 - £650 mark you would all find this acceptable? If not then let me know a target price you would like to see and i can see if we can meet the targets you set.
Remember, im developing this product to YOUR specifications and demands, so the more input you have, the better the product will be showo..
I await your comments.
Kind Regards
