HMS Exhausts

[drybeer]

Very interesting thread, if this turns out that we can have a switchable system like my PSE on the C2S was...

In theory could be the start of a new RS specialist exhaust company!

I'd imagine S3/4/5/6 / RS variants would ALL be interested...

this anygood

Indeed, we could be onto somthing here and I want to get involved in some capacity...... How about we all combine to get a unit here, and check it out. My old man had a copper system made for a dino, apparently the sound of copper as a zorst was undescribable, just too good!

[the6]

i would love to produce a system for the 6

ME TOO! Let me know where we go from here!

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.

awesome...looking forward to it



defo get where ur coming from re road trip being addictive, esp with the non res milly singing in the background

THANKS FOR THE PIC.

i read on another forum about the copper exhaust, must have looked awsome

we can do a full system Turbo back or cat back and ideally get all your views on how it should be built before getting a couple of samples done. i already sell an electric valve for exhaust systems but i feel a better design would be needed for the RS6. one that re routed the flow through a baffle or direct exit.

...one that re routed the flow through a baffle or direct exit.

Now you're talkin'.

re cooper zoorst - would you have to call out CORGI engineer if you sprung a leak?

[drybeer]

i feel a better design would be needed for the RS6. one that re routed the flow through a baffle or direct exit.

So when the electric switch is used, the rear tailpipes would silence, and the side exit stub sized exhausts in the left and right sills would bellow V8 sound like a Nascar racer? Sounds more appealing by the day!!

Having done a little digging i have found that these systems may not be all they are cracked up to be,

They sound amazing, But
a) Car looses serious power
b) Way to much Drone inside the car for every day driving

Most may be able to live with the Drone inside the car but the loss of power is not what every RS6 owner really wants

[bam_bam]

So if you flick a switch to change to straight through plumbing, we'd loose power? Yet if the flaps are closed it'd be dronesome inside the cabin?
*Scratches head*

Back to the Milltek catless then it is then.

[drybeer]

Maybe it is not straight through when you flick the switch, but just tunes to sound horny.

So far it does make a Milltek sound good value.

HMS has a good reputation for their remaps over here and their exhausts are of best quality (and they WILL fit). Not the cheapest option, but worth every euro and they sure sound brutal. And afaik they're the only ones doing flaps with an oval end and not only twin pipes. 3600 euros with black ovals

The most popular are certainly Milltek, MTM (top gear) and BN-Pipes. Flap exhausts are rare, most are custom build by some regional shops, these would be difficult to export I guess. Go find a known local good shop and talk them into doing an RS version is probably the way to go . Also while the TÃœV thing is quite needed here, I'm not too sure about any paperwork required to legally fit these in the UK.

I'm still on the original and want to change (if I can stack up enough € in between repairs). So still looking myself but it certainly won't be anything without flaps.
