Title: Exhaust system
Post by: doggy & Nola on October 01, 2019, 08:17:09 AM

Hi  all I’m thinking of up dating the  exhaust system
On 2008  st 1300  she’s done about 78 000 km
 Just want to get a little bit nice sound and perhaps a little bit of fuel economy boost
 I would appreciate any thoughts and ideas cheers 🍻  :chocolate-box-smiley-emoticon

Let's face it- it's all about the sound.  You'll never recoup the cost in fuel savings.  Might as well claim a power boost while you're about it- that's more likely than a fuel saving.

I decided to have my exhaust modified (08 model 124000km) by an expert (Redline Exhausts here in SA). I like the sound, deeper note without being obnoxious. It was much less expensive than Staintune or Delkavic or any of the others at $300 all up. I like to kid myself it is more fuel efficient with an improvement in power and throttle response - but if there is improvement it's negligible. Would I do it again? Yes, I reckon I would purely because I didn't really like the sewing machine/Jetsons sound - call it a character flaw.
Cheers Mark.
