Also so the best part about it is that you can have one of these 3" systerms for around the same price as the goos
.
the full systerm is what you see in the pics and that is
£345.00 i think
the down pipe comes with a elbow and is around £400
with reference to your quote at the top of this post you say that "you can have one of these 3" systems for around the same price as the goos"
Well correct me if wrong but £345 & £400 = £755 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
You can pick up a full Goose for under £300 quid these days mate.
These look really good and i bet they release quite a bit of power but if their louder than a goose surely theres no chance of you doing a track day with 1?
They are really well made Dan but take into account the points below. The complete system is over the noise levels for most tracks at way over 100 decebels.
is the elbow one unit with the downpipe or can you use it with stock elbow
Yes, the elbow/dump and down pipe are all one piece, this can make life very awkward if once fitted you ever have cause to remove just your turbo, as you have remove the turbo complete with your elbow/down pipe and your exhaust manifold in ONE PIECE. This means you have to spend loads of time removing parts you wouldn't normally remove just to remove the turbo.
Also worth mentioning at this point is that when fitted, mine had several leaks. One leak from where the tail pipe joins the end section, which was caused by the ends of the 2 pipes being out of round and not fitting together very well, I corrected this by reshaping the ends of pipe and using some nasty exhaust paste to make the seal. The other leak I had was a little more concerning as it was from the mating flanges of dump pipe and turbo. This was leaking due the flange being warped and when bolted to the turbo (no matter how tight you did the bolts up) left a gap that I could fit a 1mm feeler gauge into.
This would have happened at the manufacturing stage and caused by the flange not being clamped into position properly whilst being welded and the heat from the welding process warping the flange. I tried all sorts to correct this, in the end I had to have the face of the flange machined flat at the cost of £40. Of course this might not be the case on all the systems produced and certainly not the quality you would expect from a major manufacturer like Janspeed but it would definitely be something to look for when fitting it all up, oh and don’t forget to have the exhaust paste handy.
Other fitting problems included the down pipe touching any bottom strut brace you might have fitted, 4 point or two point, this means you have to either have your prace modified to fit. Another thing is that when fitted, the down pipe is hard up against the sump pan which can’t be good. Also on my system the downpipe has developed a hairline crack (after a year of use) at the downpipe mount due to it not being a properly constructed mounting point.
So in answer to your questions, yes it is a good system and quite possibly does produce some extra torque in the higher rev bands if using a bigger turbo than the standard T28.
But before you shell out your hard earned £755 on one of the few true 3” systems available for the Pulsar just check the quality and that Janspeed have attended to the points above.
Fair warning
