CES EXHAUST

[SuperDave]

So why aren't you using semi worn out street tyres instead of semi's?? :P :P

Because Semis give more grip :P :P

Hey everyone,

just a question, is this worth the price or not?

Allow about 1.1/2" fitting time to cut & weld.

Labour $160.00 + $20.00 for flanges to reconnect.

It is to fit a sportivo catback exhaust onto my car

What do you all think?

I would have thought $80 would cover you for a new s/s 2pc flange, but if that includes removing the old exhaust and fitting the new one, it should still only cost $120 tops for s/s...

[whitestivo]

that's about $106 per hr, even plumbers don't charge that much.

So you guys think i should look around elsewhere?

Where else is the a workshop in Brisbane or Gold Coast that could do it for a better price?

I talked to ces this morning and am currently looking at getting the exhaust and cai from them. Custom to fit the sedan.

Now to save.

Ha ha ha ha. CES is of high quality, and they do a proper job.

Have you not seen some of the cars they work on...? Cars that cost 10x more than a Sportivo is worth...

Ah, Damnfuzz joins Team CES Racing! Yay!

Love it.

Has anyone with a Sportivo had an issue with the CES piping tapping on the chassis, just before you hit the muffler? Any suggested solutions? I have already had different length hangars mentioned in my "Member Rides" thread, but do we have any other experiences or solutions?

did you put new hanger bushes on? Or are you using the old ones?? Cause the system is different to the stock system the weight is a lil more and your rubber mounts are prolly a bit on the soft side. They are 5 plus years old now!! I think energy suspension make replacement exhaust hanger bushes. Fit them and there will be no more probs. I modified my stock ones and stopped the system moving and touching in one spot. Took me about 10 minutes to rectify.

SSS pulsar owners think because they have a SR20 they are unbeatable LOL. Truth is a Stock Sportivo will beat a stock SSS easily. there is 30odd KW difference inpower and weight is almost the same. I remember absolutely eating a SSS that has headers, exhaust and intake with my Sportivo that only had CES catback system. Top end of 2nd gear and all he was seeing was my tail lights dissappearing in the distance......

SB,

Shot an email to Energy this afternoon, so here's hoping. Failing that I might try and source one from elsewhere...

Cheers mate
