A wise choice Bob [^] They are a very good system available in mild or stainless steel. Totally straight through, so there is very minimal back pressure, yet very effective as a silencer. Usually fit on in a couple of hours, an adapter sleeve needs welding on the stock exhaust to take the larger bore first box, then the pipe needs shortened between the two silencers. the outlet may need re-angling or shortened depending on which RC40 it is (side or centre exit), a couple of new hangers and it,s sorted. All you need is a little bit of 1 3/4 tube and a mig welder.
The engine will run 100x better for it, really noticable improvement, and better economy

Yes, that,s it, although there is a small middle box as well, which is optional but quieter

Thanks guy`s, sounds good, will just have to find someone with a mig welder.
I thought we were supposed to lather commers with salt water? Then fill holes with newspaper and filler, and join exhausts with gaffer tape?
I was thinking of just tapeing a load of bean cans together :I.
:I.Thats how the Corsa and Saxo crew do it!
On a slightly more serious note, has anybody made a straight pipe version of the exhaust? I am not aware of the guts of an rc40 (is it straight through with performated tube and silencing material surrounding?) as i have several centre silencers i have kept from various cars that would be suitable if so me being scabby and trying to save money haha

As straight through as you can get, 1 3/4" bore, just about perfect. I put a system together that follows the rout of the original exhaust using off the shelf silencers and a but of fettling, again straight through and it works brilliantly.
