MIJ 2.5" bore exhaust system fitted, pic's pg1.

  1. #1
    Just got back from MIJ, was cool meeting Ben_vts again, the facilities at MIJ were awesome, highly recommend them to anyone who fancies a custom exhaust and the pricing they offer for a bigger bore system is un-touchable

    Here some pic I took:-

















    Some of the stuff they had laying out back lol




    One of the engine bay's in the Skylines, somthing missing no ;p

    What are people thoughts???

    Thx.

    Little vid of Ben's on tick over here

    1.75" diameter stainless steel cat-back exhaust system. (Same diameter as Magnex etc).
    is that a typeing error as I thought magnex were at least 2". If not how muc you paying for your 2.5" system
  3. #3
    so it's £185 for a 2" system cat back ?

    What sort of price for a 2.5" cat back? And do they stock 3" tubing

    Im confused

    I didnt realise that Magnex systems were 2" . I need to confirm the diameter of the standard system at £184.99, I will do this tomorrow & update this post

    The 2.5" system me & Ben are getting is actually from the manifold back, we are also getting MIJ to create a means of changing over the CAT come MOT time also , all this is coming out at £300 which is pretty good I thought, are you interested in a 2.5" system also?

    They can do a 3" system but how such a large bore system would route under the car is beyond me, would you like to ask for pricing on this system? Cat-back or manifold back?

    Thanks.

    Don't worry about asking for a 3" - was curious if they were doing them around the same price as the group buy system.

    Bloody good price though

    MIJ are very good at making exhausts 1000times better than powerflow etc. Thats a good price aswell, My brother had one made on his lcr not long back, for what he paid blueflame had my pants down with there exhaust loads cheaper at mij and if anything better quality

    I'm pretty sure if you were to approach them asking for a 2.5" system they'd be able to do around the same price as me.

    Are you intrested in one Nicole?

    Can i ask if they "purge" welded the joints?

    As i can tell from the pics that they have only fused them together and havent used any filler wire.

    Not being nit picky but those welds wont last with all the heating/cooling down and vibrations.
  44. #44
    if its not been purged its a waste of time as above, and you will get a crust inside and it will muck the flow up, 2.5 inch your going to start loosing back pressure, comin from the jap tuning scene, ive never seen any exhausts that have been made up as pipe work, they need to be bent really, especialy nearer the manifold cos as the first welds warm up there going to end up cracking, in my opinion especialy for performance your better off opting for kam system or saxsport, have they dyno tested these yet, and also tested for back pressures, any1 can make up some shiney pipework but does it actually work !

    I never really paid any attention to how they welded the exhaust, however I will drop them a email asking which type of welder they used and whether not it the welds were purge welded, i'm sure it will be OK thou...
