clubman or stainless steel expansion

Postby grandpa » Thu Aug 13, 2015 8:17 am

Hi Chaps,
I have always assumed a clubman would be an all round good exhaust for a standard GP 150 Vijaii MKI..However there are stainless steel expansions exhaust on eBay at similar cost .I have to remove my leaky exhaust to fix a clutch problem so may fit new exhaust....So which would give best performance scoot is Vijaii MkI with the lower final drive 5.65 .( my MkII has the high 4.82.)
KBA clubman or stainless steel expansion?
Thanks
Grandpa
P's on expansion is there a seal between down pipe and expansion chamber do the springs pull it tight as there appears no clamp?

Springs pull it tight and no need to seal.
5.65 would be fine for expansion box. It's really about value for money. S/S expansion pipe looks nicer in my opinion but it's about personal taste.

Hi Grandpa,
There is no seals just springs other than the head to down pipe gasket.
Now have my GP running. I fitted this exhaust eBay item number:

171871213805. I am very happy with it, it looks good, it sounds good, and now running goodish, and the price was good, just got to tune her a bit better.
Cheers
Stag
