...you could put a TUBI exhaust on a 1991 MR2 turbo? :StandsBackWithFlameProofOverallsOn:

I know its not a fezza BUT is it possible? i'm thinking of changing mine and have already call PowerFlow so its no biggy if a TUBI won't fit.

Umar

Let the flaming begin

Don't encourage Manu to sell you something made form titanium that will cost more than your MR2 to buy and fit

Get a decent stainless system from Powerflow and watch out for the noise limit if you plan on tracking it. Tubis sound best with an italian V8/V12 pumping through them anyway. You wouldn't be missing much in the Mister 2.

Cheers

If you want it in Titanium then all bets are off

I have a regular stainless steel Tubi on my Elise and it wasn't too bad.. (I keep telling myself )

Bye, Arno.

I am almost as nice as jeremyc and a titanium tubi system is almost as expensive as a second hand MR2. 10k for one type of system, IIRC. We'll have to wait for Manu to pipe up for the full lowdown.

Umar!

They are pretty expensive mate... I think the Tubi for Arno's Elise is one of the most expensive Elise systems in the world!

The F50 system runs to thousands... although £10K for one system is what we would charge Domster and Domster alone for his cars...

P.S. *Rumour* has it... they did make a custom system for a Toyota Landcruiser once for a rather prolific customer. (arab rally driver who also had an F50/F40 blah blah)

LOL

Domster price... I always knew that ajay and manu were canny businessmen

Umar, see what Manu and Ajay can get for your car, Tubi or not. They do a few different makes and could probably get the perfect one for your MR2.

It was the F50 one I was thinking of. Something mental because of the titanium and stuff.

That car doesn't actually look *too* bad. I've seen some really nasty replicas and in that pic it doesn't look hideous.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that car out and about, looks...not bad. The manufacturer's been jumped on by Ferrari though, IIRC.
