Haha, that sounds like a 1000 whores being a$$ raped.

The6 - I'm very interested in their response.
I found the HMS guys a while ago when researching zoorsts, not cheep, as already mentioned and it'd require a channel crossing plus 2 days. I also found out that they no make the C5 system. So, I asked Blueflame to give me a quote to do the same system this side of the channel, their response:
"Hi there
To install a cabin operated system for that car with race cats would cost £4500.00

Best regards

Nigel Leeming
(Director)"

It'd be great to flick a switch and increase volume for the loud pedal (or turn it down... for the softer 'men' amongst you). However, I was more interested in a CAT bypass switch (straight pipe) built around a 3" system. BTW, Blumeflame quoted me the same £4.5k price for the CAT bypass option I dreamt up, stating:
"Hi Luke.

We could plumb into the standard cat arrangement and utilise the bypass valves for power.
Its the variable valves that are so expensive and also the solenoids to operate internally with the switchgear plus the installation and routing.
The cost of the FIA cats would reduce the bill by £250.00
It may pay you to consider the option of swapping the restrictive stock cats for FIA cats altogether and doing away with the control valves.
This would drop the cost down to £2500."

Another important note: 'custom' exhausts might sound good but they aren't always mandrel bent, and if it ain't mandrel bent, then don't bother. I had my heart fully set on a custom sound but everyway I looked at it, the Milltek is just such great value, quality and performance (unless you're purely after sound, if so, then throw my last comment out the window).

That last bit is not my quote I hasten to add..

But Bam Bam as soon as I hear (If I do) I will be sure to let you all know. I don't expect to though the German lads seem to like to keep this HMS business very tight to their chests.
I emailed all the people who had posted HMS Zorst vids, about 6 months ago after first seeing that 6 vid not one ever answered. Still nothing from HMS-Tuning.de either....I don't get it? Whats the problem?:sekret:

I could try Blueflame as you did buddy and see if it is at ll possible to doctor mu current Millies to create that "open" flap sound, Im into that in a huge way, don't mind if they are fixed open either....

grizz you wanted to go aswell dint ye

Post by **seanypeeps** » Wed Jul 28, 2010 7:44 pm

We all know why they won't respond!!! Were this side of the channel thats what the problem is. i'm sure you all know what i'm getting at just want to be PC and not say that the germans hate us

So let me get this right you want a bunch of lads to do a road trip to germany (hoar capital numero 2) to get an exhaust fitted then on the way back take a detour over to the Dam (hoar capital numero 1)?
Credit card bill would be something like this.
Ferry£100
Fuel £250
Exhaust £2800
Miscellaneous £4000
Mrs face £Priceless
For everything else theres mastercard!!!

hahaha errmm yep its only 754 mile or 12hrs an 3 mins from my house

just think of the fun you could have getting arrested and beaten up by the french police before they impound your car and all for just speeding

actually sounds like the uk

Can't wait, where do I sign up! I thiink perhaps we ought to organise a proper 246 road trip!

Post by **jamesthecat** » Wed Jul 28, 2010 8:23 pm

that would be good,

but not alot of people can get permission to go especially if you mention the dam

and i think if we can empty all the immigrants into the channel within a week we could drive across them and save on ferry fare

I love this thread but you're all pissing on my chips! I just got back from a 2,400 mile road trip with my 'ho - £729.36 on fuel. Write up coming soon.

Post by **iR8V10** » Wed Jul 28, 2010 8:37 pm

Look forward to that Bam! Pics too I hope!?

Post by **the6** » Wed Jul 28, 2010 8:39 pm

Best not to mention the dam then, perhaps just the German beers whist the zorsts are fitted, takes 3 days now as there is a que of course, then the "scenic" route, red lights etc...
