Exactly Dan and that's why i am doing this,I'm not changing the inside diameter.The tip is 3inch on the outside but 2 1/4 inside and "filled in" in between for want of a better term.(Apparently called dual layer in the trade)

PCMX5 has heard and dríven my car and can attest to this. He was there when the system was fitted.

Have been lucky enough to have dríven this well sorted car, It has a great purr to it.
As Pete said hope to catch up with you soon, if you are going on the GOR run maybe we can head to the starting point together.

Just to throw in my 2c worth here. I've had a T&C built system on my car for 3 years now. It's done about 30 track days, been dragged through the kitty litter, bellied out in the mud and bounced off ripple strips forwards or backwards more times than I'd admit to, as well as done 30,000km on the roads, including a fair bit of dirt. There's never been a peep of trouble with it during all that time.

When we cut the front off it to do some mods to the header pipes last year we had a close look at T&C's workmanship. Perfect welds; the 2.25" front pipe had been smoothly flanged out into the 3" cat convertor and the interior welds had been shaped out with a die grinder. Not a crack or a bend in any of the system and no signs of it hitting or rubbing anywhere.

My previous system lasted less than 6 months, belted into oblivion by general manga abuse. T&C were a higher cost up front for me but much cheaper in the long run.

Also pricing!

Josh, finally got around to having a 3 inch outside diamenter 2 1/4 inside tip fitted and it has made no difference to the great sound but looks heaps better.$70 as a one off purchase or $35 on top of the one usually fitted to their system.

Go for it!,

how long did the whole thing take you? Oh and can you see the small tip inside or is completely hidden

pcmx5 · Postby **pcmx5** » Wed Sep 07, 2011 11:52 pm

Took all of ten mins to fit, they cut off the other tip and welded the new one on.From the back you see a 3inch outside diameter tip and a fill in to the 2 1/4 inside pipe.nothing else.

Give me a call if you want to see it on my car,

Peter.

Yeah i'd like that, I might give you a buzz some time tomorrow or Friday. That or just cruise by TnC. If they have a spare 10mins I'll see if I can get them to do it on the spot lol

Wow! So many glowing reviews, I reckon I'm sold.
I have some time off later in the month and may make the drive over. Any guides on cost and what the system consists of? Full system, including headers and cat or cat back?***
A nice 8+ hour drive home should burn it in nicely or what better excuse for a GOR trip on the way back.

***Derrrr.....Probably better to give them a call myself. Just did that and seems very reasonable. Will get the cat as well. Mine is probably overdue being on there for nearly 20 years. Roll on end of September!!!
