Exhaust fitment

[cejsmith]

Here is a general question

to fit a TF exhaust to a f what would you need to do and to do the reverse.

The reason I ask is I've seen a scorpion exhaust at a good price and it's off and F and as I haven't brought a car yet I wanted to know if it would fit a TF ( or what I would have to do to make it)

[Matt Parker]

If its a Trophy or mk2 F then the TF system will go straight on. If its a mk1 F then you will need the additional 90 degree elbow joint for the TF system to meet the Cat, or fit a mk2 F/TF Cat which has the extra length and bend on it.

If you don't have a secondary lambda sensor then you can either fit a lambda blanking plug or use an old lambda sensor or spark plug to fit in the lambda hole of the pipe.

edit;
As you mentioned about the reverse I take it that you are thinking of just swapping one exhaust from one car with another, if so then if it is a mk1 F then you will need to swap the Cat also, you can run mems3 without the second lambda sensor fitted(as per Trophy) and it will be fine as the ecu just puts the second sensor reading into default reading.

Thanks Matt

So do you all think £150 is a good price for a quad pipe scorpion????

[Rich]

I reckon it is. Personally, I'm not a fan of the quad finishers but that's a pretty good deal whatever.

Ummm yup that's an awesome price mate, though you could just buy a boxster and have done

[Matt Parker]

Depends if you like them or not, as I'd say its way over priced for 4 baked bean cans

honestly as Nick said it is a good price for what your getting.

Why would I want to buy a Boxster, I'm now used to slumming it with you lot

... and choosing not to rough it with the rowdy Porsche bunch...

So have you bought this exhaust or not?

Errm an extra question, have you bought a car for it to go on yet??

[cejsmith]

To answer the questions

Yes and no

But I now have some pieces to go on what ever I buy

So still looking, I quite fancy A/C now I think about it, buit you know me I'll end up buying FOO fighter on the F registers site!!!!

Looks a nice car shame isn't mem3 , also I'm not insured to go into an active war zone

Better not come near Northampton either then. It's all kicking off in the town centre and in Wellingborough and Daventry who have areas locking down this afternoon...

Perhaps we should all trade in our MGs and buy armoured cars, or even a fleet of tanks! Only thing is you would need a different kind of scorpion exhaust...

Rich

[cejsmith]

True aways fancied a scorpion tank, I think they where powered by 2 4.2 jag engines

[StevePem]

This really is a quite bizarre situation. I guess things will inevitably kick off in MK too!

I have a colleague over from Germany doing some work for me in the Uxbridge area. Customer has just sent him back to the hotel and told him to phone one of them before thinking of setting out tomorrow!

[Nick]

Colin I think most 2000 reg vvcs were mems 3 so that one should be OK

Wellingborough has lots of police about, but no trouble. It was all just a rumour on facebook/twitter that caused the town centre shops to panic.

My guess is that the other areas are the same.

[Matt Parker]

Mems 3 didn't not come in till 2001.

I still have most of the parts from my aircon, I know I got rid of the main under car pipes so will require new ones but should be able to pipe them up cheaply from a breaker if you wanted to retro fit it.

if only that was true. Kate had an increase in incidents reported at work this afternoon. It's just that a media blackout had been enforced that it wasn't all public. I was monitoring websites this afternoon where the BBC, Chronicle & Echo and Evening Telegraph were reporting stuff as it happened and then all of a sudden the links stopped working.

Anyhow, back on subject once again... Colin, just buy the Trophy and be done with it. You know in your heart you'll have heaps of fun with it and with a couple of stripes from Lee, you'll be flying! And the Trophy did win the vote last Thursday, especially with those of a more in depth knowledge of all things MGF/TF...

AH yup as usual you're right Y reg was 2001 wasnt it? I was thinking it was 2000

[cejsmith]

Missed a trophy for £700 yesterday, but luckly I did a HPI before bidding on the car, it had finance on it!!!!!

So the search goes on

[cejsmith]

Here is the picture of the exhaust I brought what again would I need to make it work on my new Tf, luck I brought a new one the exhaust on it seems a tad rusty!!!



Here is a pictue of the joint on the old exhaust
