badboyV6 4 Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 This is the first time ive ever bought a car that has had engine mod (if minor). Ive got a superchip, a power boost valve, K&N filter replacement and full ss magnex exhaust. Has anyone here got a similar setup, and had it rolling roaded? Its a strange feeling with this VR compared to my last one, as it doesnt seem as torquey low down, but seems to really fly above 4000 RPM. Has anyone else got a power boost valve? If so did you feel a difference? Anyone got a louder ss exhaust system they would like to swap for a Magnex system ? I know the only way ill tell for sure is to take it to the rolling road session thats planned (im provisionally on the list hopefully), but id like to have an idea of what to expect.....

binliner 0 Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 I've got a powerflow ss cat back exhaust here thats a bit too loud for my liking and has got to come off the car anyway either to go on my new VR or sell... what tailpipe has your magnex got? Link to post Share on other sites
stu h 0 Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 you can have the exhaust on my car if you like - its not really really loud tho - just the original one thats seen better days lol. Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted December 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 hmmm sounds good binliner. Mines twin round tailpipes i think they a re 2 1/2" to 3 im not sure but i will check this afternoon. I know it sounds a bit chav like to want a loud exhaust but ive had a magnex before and fancy a different sound. What tailpipes are on yours?? Has something happened to your VR? i caught something on another thread- your car looks stonking! Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted December 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 thanks for the offer Stu but im not really into the 'OEM' look Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Mines got letterbox tailpipe Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 but the car is now totalled so Im breaking it... I'll be keeping some bits to go on the new VR and selling the rest. I fancied a different exhaust... it all depends on whether the new VR has an exhaust I like or not...if it doesnt I'd be interested in a swap... got any pics? Link to post Share on other sites

badboyV6 4 Posted December 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 By the way its a shame about your VR- i really like it very clean indeed!!!! What happened? Link to post Share on other sites
anorak 0 Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Check out the results from the first RR Day (22/02/2004) in Events. There were a few cars with similar spec to yours there.I'd have thought you should be close to 200bhp [ Edited Fri Dec 31 2004, 04:17PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
VRVIRGIN 0 Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Will a Superchip give good results? Had chipped 325 and that was pretty awsome. Anybody got any tales to tell about them? Link to post Share on other sites
