View Full Version : FAO Bren - Apex looks good!
Wahooo!! :D
Not got it on yet, as just arrived, but looks very sweet.. :D :D
Thanks! :D
Once installed can you describe the noise?
As im thinking of buying one.
I want burbling at low revvs! :D
Will do matey.. ;)
I want burbling, but not invasive.. then ..
**** off roar when I hit power band.. :D
hehehehehe
Just got home to find mine in the front room too. It looks smart, but now I have nowhere to sit in the house. Have to fit some stuff very soon I guess.
Cheers m8.
Note: I want to recommend bren to anyone thinking of getting some mods as he seems very helpful and I now have a m..., no sorry, an Apex exhaust for less than the cost of a mongoose. :) :)
Thanx bren.
Anyone fitted it yet?
Yay or Nay? :p
Not yet, waiting for the back box bracket. Bren is on this case sorting it though. :D
Dons fitted his and likes his Im like a do with two ****s was the phrase he used!! LOL
Sadly the back box brackets are missing and despite the manufacturers insistance that they sent them with the systems it appears they did not as Ive been in touch with everyone whos bought a systems and no ones got the brackets.
Ive been onto the manufacturers again but the guy I need has gone home so Ive been onto the rep giving him ear ache and hes going to contact the guy this evening at home :)
No-one will regret buying one of Brens my exhausts, the quality is far better than a lot i,ve seen at twice the price.
I,ve lashed up a crude bracket until I get the proper jobby.
Me ears are freezing driving with the windows down but it sounds so good.
Well done Bren. :D

Bren, looks very nice (I like twin). I'm quite surprised. Good price also.
Actually, my investigations are for front discs, exhaust system and Fuel and/or Boost controller (APEXi SAFC for ex.)
You mention your APEX exhaust system is turbo back : what does it mean for CAT ? I want to keep my CAT. Can it be used as a CAT back system ?? (is there a pipe to take off ?).
How much do you estimate the carriage cost for France ?
May I have a pic of the complete line. Thanks.
FAO Dan and John
You will not be disappointed, this exhaust delivers both on tick-over and full on.
:D :D :D :D
Does it burble and is it not too loud? :D
So, don't you think I want to know that too don. :( ;)
Glad you are happy with yours, I am dying to put mine on.
Does it sound more like a burble now at idle, I have always been disappointed with exhaust note on standard.
Idea :eek: Someone be Really cool and record the Apex onto a Wav file etc?? :rolleyes:
Sorry Tubstar
On idle there's a deep burble which the lads down the local shops tell me is "way cool".
Just pottering about it isn't to obtrusive at all but floor it and it rorts like a b*****d as my admirers down the shops tell me.
Cheers Don
:rolleyes:
Dan
Buy one you will not be sorry, believe me.
Don :D :D
Only joking mate, used to being ignored anyway (violins?).
Am despirate to put mine on now, how did you bodge the fitting?
Cheers.
Wot do you mean bodge, this was a piece of technical wizardry. Seriously though I used 3
jubilee clips about 200mm dia, as used on dust extractor ducting, linked together around the back box and looped 2 more about 100mm dia under them and then around the 2 hangers on the chassis.
It helps if you've got a garage full of rubbish like I have, cos you always find something that fits. :rolleyes:
You should all have the proper hanger on Saturday anyway! :D
can't wait until sat NEED IT ON NOW !!!!
Gonna be a bit of a ball ache doin it on the floor though .
Looks super especially the rolled tailpipes, super cool..... :eek: :D :D :D :D
Too many 3 letter d names! Got a headache. Sat is fine for me, want to sleep all tomorrow now to make it pass quicker!
Hmm, there's an idea!
Dar
Get a m8 to help you preferably a sumo wrestler, you wont believe how heavy the thing is when ur rolling around under the car trying to support it and fit it together at the same time.
Don :D
Tubstar
Fridays are drinking days not for sleeping. :cool:
What a smart idea, drink all day. That will make the time fly coz it always does when your having fun. May even take the old zorst off. (Before I start drinking!)

As far as I know, I notice no bracket (1 or 2 ?) on the rear silencer (very near to the twin pipes) whereas they're available on a std exhaust !?
How do you fix it ?
I don't to scratch the road :rolleyes:
The bracket is separate and wraps around the back box.
don
Hmm I seem to have gone over the page

Nice.
Do you some standards about the exhaust noise in UK ?
How many dB does this line produce ? Anyone knows ?
I don't want to be stopped by police for a noise problem whereas I would have taken off the CAT ! (but this is under the car ;) ) :mad:
Anyone has recorded a wav file ???? Post one please ...
Gonna b putting the zorst on tomorrow morning (if the bracket turns up!), will record a wav on my phone and download it asap !
p.s. How DO you get your motor on the bottom of your replys ? :eek:
Got my bracket yesturday. Cheers Bren. Have to wait until tomorrow to fit it though coz me of karting this afternoon for my mates birthday. Got him so drunk last night that I should stand a good chance against him.
Can't wait.
Fitted mine yesterday and have only now got out of the car ! :D :D :D
Sounds the k9's love bits !
Can't get over the sound and the size of the tailpipes very VERY cool !!!
Haven't recorded a wav yet but may do it today if not tomorrow !!
Is it me or has my turbo lag dropped !? Bloody brill !!! :D :D :D
p.s. you can really hear the turbo spinning up now as well !!
Did I mention the amaizing sound ???? :eek: :eek: :eek: null
Still not got my bracket.. :( :(
Never mind, is going on next weekend.. :D
Where's that WAV file?!! :D :D
DAR
Told ya it was good and I reckon ur right about the turbo lag, revs far more freely.
:D :D :D
Jonh,

We need another promise to allow a new batch order ...
Thanks.
Its on, and I've even heard it now after a minor hiccup with the alarm.:(
I can't believe how good it sounds. Quiet enough at low revs not to p1ss off me neighbours but when I boot it, my god I need more moey. The petrol I am gonna waste over the next week.;)
REALLY REALLY recommend this to anyone!
Cheers Bren.
:D Glad you like it :D :D :D
Yup.. mine is on too now!! :D Sounds the dogs danglies.. ripping up the Surrey countryside.. scaring the 'wabbits' :D :D
