mike-p 116 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 Had this bad boy fitted today, what a difference to the exhaust note, much more tuneful i.e.LOUD! I'll need to get it logged for Adrian so Cosworth can tweak the map, but the car feels even more responsive (but that could be the exhaust note fooling the seat of my pants). Looking forward to a shakedown with it next weekend. If you get to the Premier Inn before me, you should hear it from about 1/2 mile away! 2 JamesP1991 and chillismoke reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesP1991 222 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 Very nice Mike, what manifold is it? The Cossie one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike-p 116 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 Nope it was nowhere near £1,700. I got it from a place in Dorset, I'll tell you more when you pop up for a butchers. 1 JamesP1991 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ade 517 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 Lovely! LOL at the comment about hearing it from 1/2 mile away! Look similar to the HKS manifold. In the defence of the Cosworth manifold it does costs £1,554.00 but it is a proper stepped design for max hp gains (I forget the formula but these is one for runner length tuning to give max torque at a given rpms), flow tested for 380HP, and has a very expensive and quality cermic coating on both the inside and out. A top quality ceramic coating costs the best part fo £500! Having said that, there is no CAT in the cossy which also costs the best part of £500! Are you going to re-dyno the car once you get the tune? 1 Special K reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smudge 1020 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 You can hear me from 2 miles away according to a friend of mine so nerrrr Lovely piece of kit though I wonder what difference having the sports cat in the manifold (like you) or the front pipe (like me with a Berk HFC) makes to noise/power?

It is why I generally go over to the US or Japan as you get a much more reasonable price for exactly the same products! I wasn't sure whether or not Cosworth did a sports cat version of their equal length, so just thought I would ask the question after you obviously got the Cossie SC kit too! Would be good to have a chat about it though I think the sports cat will definitely take out the rasp, creating a much more "clean" sounding tone. When you consider how loud that is, imagine what I have to put up with on a daily basis with no cats and just a 2.5" straight pipe back to the catback Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smudge 1020 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 adding a Berk HFC to a standard exhaust system made very little change to sound of the system Why would it? The main sound deadening is in the resonator in the mid pipe and the back box I have a straight through mid pipe into an invidia back box and a decathlon manifold up front Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The main sound deadening is in the resonator in the mid pipe and the back box I have a straight through mid pipe into an invidia back box and a decathlon manifold up front with less restriction in the pipe it should flow more and increase noise, like decatting does but not as much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
