Alcran Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Morning Gents, I have an Imported fairlady on a 2003 plate with 65miles Im looking to get a spacer and uprev+ hks panel filter, I was wondering how much bhp my standard exhaust is good for, I've seen some statements that its good for 360 to 400bhp Would it be ok to keep my standard exhaust or would i need to change any sections of it? work will on the car will start near the end of Feb Thanks.

coldel Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I think the back box is fine, its the cat and y pipe that restrict. Most people swap out the exhaust as it tends to rust, although if yours is a new import it might be in good nick. Assuming you are going the turbo/supercharger route for 360-400bhp as a remap, spacer and intake will only gain you circa 10-20bhp on top of the 250bhp you have at the moment.

Grundy Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 If you want the most from you're car (Performance wise from the UpRev) Swap the exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcran Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Nope to the charger and turbo, keeping it low cost and low hassle, just trying to get her back to what she did have. any recommendations to what Ypipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Have a chat with some of the traders on here, CS, Tarmc, Clark, Redline etc who all can offer good advice. You should be able to drop them a PM with your needs or go straight to their websites... One of the best sounding Zeds I have heard is Wasso's which had standard back box and a decated motordyne XYZ Y pipe - stunning sound.

davey_83 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 do the HFC pass MOT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Yep, I had a milltek and berk HFC on my Zed with a remap, passed the mot emmissions. Just needed a nice warm up beforehand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-350 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Nope to the charger and turbo, keeping it low cost and low hassle, just trying to get her back to what she did have. any recommendations to what Ypipe Low cost? You do realize a NA tuned Zed pushing 400BHP will cost you 3x the amount of a supercharger? (EDIT: I may have read your original post wrong, originally I figured you wanted to hit 360 - 400BHP) If you aren't planning on pushing it to this and just want a slight boost, you will want a less restricting system and a remap. I have a full system and uprev and I have 300BHP at the fly. So anything beyond this is going to cost thousands.

coldel Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Maybe it was a typo on the post? 'Getting her back to what she did have' would be getting it back to circa 260-270bhp at the flywheel, not 360+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 with the upgrades you have listed you wont be getting more than 20bhp. Exhaust will be fine. Most of us change them for the noise enjoyment regardless of what bhp the engine is putting out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcran Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks guys, and Mike, My thoughts also. My current exhaust sounds really nice, has a great mid tone rumble to it, and if its possible to get the work done with my current setup up, i'll do it, if its not, i'll get whats been suggested in here. Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all your standard exhaust will rot at some point, common issue. A good time to upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
