custom exhaust

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a custom made stainless steel back box and l/r exit, because i want to choose sound and tips and cost are lower than a rueffer + mounting.

I found some pictures of custom systems, they all have the pipe to the right tip in front of the wheel cover, same as bastuck. This is not an optimal flow, because the gas to the right pipe goes through a 180 degree angle and back.

The flow of the rueffer is much better, but i dont understand where the pipe to the right tip is hide. It looks like there's no space between wheel cover and diffuser.

Is there somebody with a picture from the bottom of the car with a rueffer fitted?

Thanks!

The deffuser is thin, so there is a space behind it for the bottom exhaust.

As Absynthe said - also, be aware that, should you be hit from behind by some loon, it is likely that the rear panel will be distorted. This will require cutting out and a new panel welding in. This happened to me a couple of years ago on my previous GT200, which was fitted with the Zunsport-designed Peugeot quad outlet exhaust finisher.

Out of curiosity, if you're so concerned about performance, why do you care about the tips so much. They're just finishers anyway and are largely aesthetic?

Because i want the looks, sound & performance

When i bought the car my first mod was chiptuning to 235bhp with the agreement of my dealer that they wouldn't limit warranty. I waited 2 years and fitted a pipercross filter, the zunsport grille and painted badge yesterday.

Next month i want l/r exhaust and better exhaust sound. Modifying tastes like more ..... so next steps are custom downpipe, hjs 200 cell cat further away from engine and resonator in stainless steel.

Finally i want to hit 250 bhp on dynorun with custom chiptuning

I would suggest that you move away from chiptuning and go for a proper custom map by a reliable tuner instead. That will provide safer performance gains and be better complimented by any form of performance exhaust.

That's what i mean with custom chiptuning . With stock exhaust and intercooler max safe gains will be +/- 235 bhp.
Next step is stage2, downpipe, racekat, free flow exhaust and custom map, about 255 bhp. That's enough for a front wheel drive without lsd and stock clutch.

I'm not a fan of racechip or other modules, promise a lot and results are usually disappointing.

That sounds like a far more sensible option and I'll be very interested to see and head the results of your project.

Building the same project from RCZ 156THP!
Already installed exhaust from 200GT version (63mm tube in stock instead of 45mm tube in stock RCZ 156) and going to chip-tuning by Greek Etuners in a week, it will give something about 210-230bhp and 330Nm, or about 6.8-7.0sec to 100km/h.

The next step would be intercooler and free-flow exhaust, but some time later.

I need to change turbocharger to hit 250bhp, it is very deep tuning

You should have started with a 200 but we understand you like the challenge

200bhp versions are very rare in Russia, I tried to find it, but failed

The main option was to find a car with manual gearbox.

That sucks but hey if you can get 250 out of the 156 then great! Putting the THP200 turbo on it will change the intercooler setup and the THP200 intercooler is far superior than the THP156 in regards to efficiency due to it's size. Then of course we developed an upgraded IC for the THP200 in conjunction with Forge Motorsports. Let us know if you need any assistance. BTW we have the LSD for the 6-speed. Check us out at http://shop.rczperformance.com/main.sc and yes we can ship to Russia although we understand there is a cost limit on what can be imported

I thought about THP200 intercooler and turbo, but there is another way - Seat Ibiza Cupra R intercooler is much more efficient then THP200 and it is single-sided - it perfectly fits the stock turbo.

Stock turbo may be upgraded to a hybrid one - stock body and VAG K04 cartridge. Using methanol (aquamist hfs3/5) you can make up to 270 bhp & 400+nm. Further upgrades require forged pistons and connecting rods.

The other problem is brakes - there is no good kit for thp156 in reasonable price.

Yes you cannot use the THP200 with the THP156 turbo as they are not the same setup as you are aware of. Is the Seat Ibiza Cupra R IC a direct fit or does it require some customization?

Yes a stronger engine is required for more but then reliability is sacrificed.

It's not about you having a THP156 but rather what brakes you have (Standard or Sport). Yes most THP156's came with Standard (302mm) but some came with the optional Sport brakes (340mm). Brake upgrades are never cheap but then this is the part of the car that can save your life so being cheap doesn't mean safe. And yes we recommend that you upgrade the brakes, this applies to anyone upgrading power in any car. Just better pads is something.

Have you checked out our shop?

I have standard (302mm) brakes, thinking about how Sport(340mm) brakes could be fitted - it seems, that the radial mount should be changed.

About the Seat Ibiza Cupra R IC - I don't know about customization required for fitting, but know, that lots of fast cars from Peugeot/Citroen are built with it - 207RC/DS3 - for example DS3:

Also I know that we have RCZ THP156 with the same Ibiza Cupra R IC in Moscow, but there is no photo

I have checked your shop even before I got an RCZ ))))) Keychain fitted -

Also some original Peugeot parts - gearbox shifting lever and covering - alcantara, from original accessorize catalogue

Wednesday my rear silencer is changed for a custom made free flow with quad oval tips, everything stainless steel and TIG welded. I'm not sure about changing the downpipe and stage2 tuning. I have a lot of problems with my car and if this continous i sell the car next year. Last week engine failure caused by defective ignition coil and today again engine failure. Past months dead naviagtion display, NG4 changed, oil plunger leakage, head light washers relais, key/remote control.

Yesterday my custom made quad exhaust is fitted and now the sound is complete.

That rear looks very balanced. I like how you debadged it but still use the indentation where the lion used to be for the RCZ letters. Leaving that empty would look really bad IMO.
