Zoom Pipes

Heine,

Not sure if I asked but what exactly did the pipes set you back, got quotes around 7K including the balancing pipe.

Is it loud in the car? I love the growl of the V8 but on long distances I prefer the silence.

By taking the cats out did you find a reduction in fuel consumption? Mine currently gets bet 9.5 (Driving decently) - 13 (Driving Loaded with out a trailer between 140 - 160) (Out of town). What are your fuel consumption figs?

Pipes set me back about 3.5 K , but I didn't pay any labour. I also left the existing branches in place . It is quite noisy in the car , but you can get an intermediate box (semi free flow) which will be quieter . Didn't notice in real change in consumption , but then I drive with a heavy foot . I get around 16 l /100 Twisted Evil , but when other people drive the car it is noticeably better Embarassed

Heine,

thanks for the info... 16L/100Km, that is a seriously heavy foot. I have to try really hard to get that on the long road.

Guys

Does cooper have a 18" tyre that they make that will fit the SE model.
I also enquired at TWT in CPT and they can also just offer a 265/65/18 in an AT spec. only - no MT avaialable??

I have Kumho's on and they must go - fast.

Thanks
