VR6Pete

So are there plans to make the tail pipe look like the std one and when do you think the system will be available to purchase?

Yes the plan is to make it as "Corrado like" as possible.

No idea I'm afraid as still at product development stage

that looks awesome mate. what is the diameter of the whole pipe? 2.5"?

Yep. The system is a 2.5. Done over 500 miles now and all is good so far. I'll measure the tail pipe, I'm not 100% sure what it is.

I have one pass left over for vr6oc stand if anyone has missed the boat on here and wishes to attend

Not yet mate. Did have a play with it though yesterday fitting my decat.

Personally it doesn't look too bad, but needs more oval on the tail pipe.

P.s this is just a test unit

Is it a new item mate? The reason I need one is because it's bent.

Nice. Do you have a link buddy?

Hi there. I'm after a bonnet latch for my late VR6.

Cash waiting :)

Thanks

Hi all.

I'm after some info on compatible roof bars / roof boxes for a Corrado VR6.

I'm going on holiday tomorrow and have some space issues so ideally will need to be something I can pick up from halfords or the like.

Cheers.

Pete

Got the car back. I have a 2 box system with cat, it's on par sound wise with my standard exhaust, however I can't take it over 3,500 rpm yet so pottering about its quiet. Will be putting decat on tomorrow see how it sounds then.

Noted.

Right Pete now I get it I was under the impression you were trying to get the dubpower exhaust that is currently available looking more OEM in the way it exit's the rear of the car didn't realise it was a new system/backbox that is made to look like a standard exhaust it's hard to tell from the pic's :thumbleft: The rest of you put your guns away :2gunfire: :cowboy::lol:

Yeah, I have 2-3 different DubPower back boxes and different style tail pipes so we can build a good prototype that can go into production. Essentially what you see on the car is only tweaked angle of the pipe with a standard tailpipe with the rolled lip cut off, next step is to ovalise and slashcut.

Might even try a smaller diameter pipe, I do have one down there which is almost a perfect copy if OEM but the diameter is smaller than the standard one.

This is the prototype replacement cat back for dubpower James.

 

I for one am looking forward to the end result and the more input dubpower receive, the better the final product.

Exactly.

This isn't just me being anal, I'm trying to help bring a product to market as a cost effective alternative to the standard OEM exhaust.

It does! Has it been driven?

The new engine was only started for the first time today, exhaust went on about 4pm so not really much time to mess.

The plan is to ovalise and give it more of a slash cut to give it more of a Corrado look.

Today was getting the pipe that comes out if the backbox to get the tailpipe sitting right, as you can see a standard DubPower is on the left which has quite an aggressive angle when fitted to a Corrado which doesn't look right IMHO.

This is only test fit number one to get the angle of the box and pipe off the box right, this isn't the final tail-pipe

Tatton one of the best shows of the year

My Corrado is having a new engine being built now, this is still happening but will be a bit longer than originally anticipated.

Weather was dry so full day of racing :)

Fantastic support for the club too !

Quick bump for anyone who is undecided.

We still have some spaces left for this - if your are interested in dusting off your Corrado VR6 for the season opener then let me know :)
