Tube Engineers Exhaust

Took my MK Indy ZX10R yesterday to have a full exhaust system built from scratch. Must say I was very impressed from the moment I spoke to everyone there. They ran me through all my header options (4-1 & 4-2-1) etc. What sort of back box id like and overall finish when completed. If anyone is thinking of having a full system made, Id definitely recommend these guys.

Ill post some pictures once its done. Looking forward to the end result !

Looks like a nice system.

I'd put money on it being a shed load cheaper than anywhere else.

We all like to pat each other on the back and say, how great is that!

How many of you looking at this, are thinking that those tubes on cylinders 3 & 4 are just plain wrong?

It looks like an apprentice with a hangover just fitted the things in as best he could, with no proper thought whatsoever.

There are many ways of getting the pipes in and all the same length, and that is not one of them!

Sorry for any offence, but I'd be throwing that manifold back in the face who built it.

Oh yes, it looks pretty, but must be costing HP.

Cheers,
Nev.

I am thinking of getting my exhaust done by these people. They have had very good reviews on here. Please could you explain your comments and suggest a better option with reasoning.

Hello Neville,

Your entitled to your opinion and thats fine. However please don't offend some other persons hard work. For your interest the header lengths are perfect matched and for your information I asked for that specific style. Ok I may lose a few HP however that can be gained elsewhere. Ive seen similar styles on other BECs and no reported problems.

The people behind this are extremely skilled and have a fantastic enthusiasm for what they do. please think about your comments in future

If they're equal length and packaged how you want then you'll not loose anything at all HP wise..

4"+ of straight pipe out the head, all equal length, smooth joins. thats about as good as you'll get without altering chassis to suit. looks damn fine too

It should work very well. Also it'll look better once they've had some heat through them

Now ever they look at least you have them. I've been waiting 8 weeks for a set of header for my hayabusa fury through Fury cars from these people. All we have had is broken promises or in old fashion language, lies, lies and more lies. Any way now getting them made locally - delivery in 10 days.

OK, it's not my place to show 'experts' how they should be doing their work.

If you lot think that manifold is fantastic, go give the makers your money.

But, have a look at a few racecar exhausts before you decide that pipes bent like that are what most are using.

Just because it's pretty, doesn't mean it's right.

Cheers,
Nev.

Mr.Phelps, you're an eng student (?I think, first year?), go find a text on gas flow and fluid dynamics, then YOU come and tell us why that exhaust is not 'optimum'. Just make sure you do the homework well.


I just spotted the chassis.......no, I won't comment.

Enthusiasm and aesthetics doesn't mean good design!

you've still not said how you would have done it. diagrams or photos would be good. I'm thinking of getting mine redone after my car's on the road.

It's all very well slamming the guys exhaust after he's just gone and bought it. But at least enlighten us why you think so. Hopefully with diagrams and mathematical proof. What would you have done???????

Criticism is easy, constructive criticism take some brains and as he hasn't been forthcoming with an explanation I assume he just likes slamming others work for no reason.

I can see why it might lose a few hp though the big kinks but compared to the standard aerodynamics of the 7 I don't think it would make the slightest bit of noticeable difference for a road/track toy.
