I did the same thing to my M140i. I do not like loud exhausts, or massive exhaust tips, I like a sleeper. I had a 200 cell Wagner cat fitted, and my car is now a beast at 455bhp/634nm ... yet it looks and sounds standard.

Mate the part at 3:30 were you mentioned the British roads really is tru haha, probably my biggest hate in the world is went they fill a pothole with gravel my mk2 st gets coverd in stone chips and is lowerd so it makes quite a bang when i hit one , why do we even pay road tax to then constantly have to fix our cars they really should re lay the whole section of road for saftey reasons im sure most agree with me on this one

You need to get a miltek cat back but get a custom exhaust place to fab on the original oem tips, be the ultimate oem+ finish

You will need injectors for 370/375 🙀, they aren’t too expensive, but it all adds up. No point custom mapping with out them or the intercooler. Keep the torque under control otherwise you’ll need a new clutch….as I found out. As for why we pay road tax….well to pay to pedestrianise the roads!

When you map it that's when you get the real gains out the mods such as downpipe because you have to remember these are breathing mods

No mate because I’ve still got the standard cat back on with the resonator.

360 - 370hp sounds good in my opinion ... I drive mine with around 380hp and 550NM of torque ... it just feels best for me in the car, not too much and not too little power, and it's solid too. 🙂 I once was allowed to drive an RS with around 510 hp and ... of course, a lot of power is great and maybe it sounds a bit weird, but in that car it was just not my thing to be honest. 😉 For my taste, the absolute upper limit for the best driving experience (I can only estimate it) is around 460hp and something around 600NM of torque in the MK2 RS. 🤔🤷‍♂️ I really like your opinion on that sound and the original look! 👍

@CarFocused

3 жыл бұрын

Completely agree. The MR375 car I drove felt spot on. It’s all too easy to chase big power and ruin the balance of the car. It’s not good when it’s spinning up and scrabbling about for grip. I’d rather be able to plant my foot and extract all of the power that’s on tap 👍🏻👍🏻

I've always been a fan of the stock exhaust. Aftermarket alternative options are just far too big they look out of place, also the standard option has a nicer tone, alternatives are too deep too loud just sounds like noise. Worse on focus st models. I think your at the sweet spot here
