Exhaust option Gippsland

Postby eskimo » Tue Jan 03, 2012 6:55 pm

Hi,
Not a new member but first post as I never really had anything to say.
I own a 93 clubman (ex 93_Clubman) and when it came time for a better
exhaust (quiet cars have no character IMO) I wasn't prepared to pay a
premium for stainless (not a Magpie, don't care for shiny things) and no
offence to T&C, but too far away so I went to an exhaust shop in Leongatha
& asked for a 2.25" cat back system with a resonator at the front & a free
flowing rear box which he did while I hung around in approx 2 hours. The
workmanship was good and cost very reasonable. It dosn't vibrate, rattle or
drone at all but has a nice deep growl which can't be heard at open road
speeds with the windows up (hardtop fitted). Hope this is of help to someone.

Cheers Steve.

AHHHH, I think the resonators about 350-400mm and mufflers a copy of something,
maybe a Turboflow, He said it's pretty much straight through with just a baffle plate.
He did have a brand name of his supplier on his entrance but my crap memory lost it.
It seems to have improved torque a bit and revs alot easier to the redline.

Steve, good to hear from you - saw the Clubman parked at the last RACV Great Australian Rally at Mornington Racecourse last January. Will be there this year (15 Jan), so might see you around.
