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.
