is this slowing me down....i have the vts decated manifold... and my back box.. but the pipe under neath my car is the 1.4 one... its really skinny thing....

How come you have a 1.4 pipe on your Vts? If its really thin then it will be restricting the air flow, but not enough to slow you down. Well not a noticeable amout.

i had vts engine put in a furio.. but had my 1.4 exhaust put on to decated manifold

Is it a standard exhaust?

So its just the center pipe thats from the 1.4? Your better off changing it to a bigger pipe, what you gain from the de-cat your losing with that pipe. But to be honest, you never see great BHP gains from an exhaust so I'd doubt you'd feel the difference.

cool.. just trying to get prioraty's right... want to spend next money on cams then sort the zorst out... thinking of a supersprint midddle section

If its a standard exhaust then yes it will be more restricted than an aftermarket one.

it will be slowing you down big time! changing the standard centre section on my zaust system was the biggest difference in performance iv noticed other that the cams and remap

i was running a decat & manifold with a standard centre but when i swapped to a straight through from supersprint. it was such a difference!
