which kind of exhaust for a silver top ZEI ?

[pierreA]

hello guys,

I've recently fitted a 4-1 manifold on my silver top zetec ZEI.

it is now running with an independent cat + supersprint silencer.

Result is :

- noisy (very noisy)

- bad looking

- possibly leaky (2 connections, not the best ones)

 

then I'm wondering if there's any kind of silencer + cat (in 1 piece) that may be straight connected to the manifold, not too loud for road usage, ok with MOT ?

 

any advice or your own experience very appreciated!

 

cheers,

Pierre.

That silencer looks quite small to me. A bigger one would probably be of some help noise-wise at least.

MK sportscars sell a long 6" universal with integrated cat. Marketed for trackday use, so should be good noise wise. I've no experience with it, but others might. There's also a shorter 540mm version.

Half the price!!!! I personnally consider westfield's one far too expensive. Also, when they started again selling parts, they were not able to ship to EU.

that's the 'heritage' element of the Westfield brand 🙄

 

They told us at Malvern that most of their stock is sent oversees, so hopefully they can now ship to EU

I dread to think. Won't affect me though, I'm definitely an aeroscreen boy.

The price on that Westfield part…..good grief.

Maybe WF price is high because they are not buying many because of the low number of new cars being made...
