WLW® 160 X 90mm Big Bore Round Straight Exhaust Tail Pipe Tip - Fits 42-60mm (WLW1-RB80)

Product Information

But if you want the absolute ultimate from your 650 then why keep it a 650 at all? Why not fit S&S’s 750cc or even 865cc big bore kit? Naturally you’ll want to pair one of those with the race clutch kit if you want to have any hope of sending that power to the ground. on most six cylinder engines. The after market in the USA are way ahead and usually know what they're on about as do the aftermarket in Germany. It’s a car that needs to be learned and respected, one more often thrilling to drive fast than enjoyable, and one that can slide neatly but misbehaves often. It’s flawed but, for the fast-Ford diehards who’ve been waiting for a spiritual successor to the Escort Cosworth, the M520 is probably that car. Only you can answer that. If you're hunting for the most thrilling Focus RS sensible money can buy, you'll find the M520's duality impressive.The powertrain'sdocile persona when the turbo isn't lit makes the carnoless usable than the standard Focus RS in normal driving, which is nothing short of amazing when you consider how switched on the driver needs to be when500bhp and 500lb ft is flowing.

The result is an engine that builds power earlier in the rev range and holds it all the way to the redline. If you really know what you’re doing, you can even adjust the timing to suit how you want the bike to feel. The engine moves around quite bit (quite normal!), so I would be careful about trying the restrain the front end of the system too much. The manifold is quite capable of supporting the front half of the system, without needing any additional mounts. I did try straight-through pipes instead of the middle boxes, and the result was dreadful, for daily use. Elsewhere, the front driveshafts have been beefed up and there’s a Quaife torque-biasing differential to replace Ford’s open differential. Interestingly, the rear axle, which in the standard Focus RS is never asked to cope with more than 240bhp of the engine’s 345bhp total, has been left untouched. From 2021 Triumph has introduced new Euro 5 models and have started phasing in anti-tamper, welded on rear link pipes to the Cat unit on some models. If this is the case on your bike the Cat unit will have to be removed before installing the system.They say: Design from the outset has been to offer subtle unobtrusive style while still achieving maximum performance both in horsepower and torque gains, with unique sealing at the slip joints to ensure no unsightly mess, and ground clearance/cornering lean angles. I would agree with the “drill through the first baffle” approach, as that’s exactly what I did over 10 years ago. So I asked John, if money was no object and the design of the exhausts incidental, what would be his top four for performance. he replied: “B-Race, then CL Race, then AF Clubman and then the Saigon Fresco copy.” Thanks to Paul Karslake, John and Dean at JB Tuning in Southend-on-Sea (01702 545952), and congratulations to Dean who only managed a minor burn to his arm compared to the two large blistering affairs I clumsily accumulated – it’s true, stainless steel does take longer to cool down! Front pipes & Silencers also available separately, can be mixed & matched with the O.E parts – please see other listings.

For a second opinion beyond the conclusions we’ve drawn, we asked John Balcombe of JB Tuning, which as a long time scooter mechanic, tuner and racer is a pretty experienced one. This hardened-up, 35,000-mile development car is fitted with two-way KW adjustable dampers, which aren't included in the kit but are worth having. They give the M520 the same solid but supple brand of body control found in the BMW M2 Competition, even if the front axle now needs a very firm hand on cambered or rutted roads. Meanwhile, fuel economy varies between 30mpg when you’re cruising off-boost to as little as 8mpg for cross-country blasts.But what blasts they are. At around 2800rpm the torque curve spikes violently as the turbo wakes up and piles on 250lb ft in the space of 1000rpm. The acute torque-steer that follows is a candid reminder that the throttle pedal goes both ways, though if you keep your cool you’ll find the M520 never drags you screaming into a hedge, no matter how real the threat at first may seem. Ifit has to be Ford, and a special Focus RS at that, Litchifeld’s more subtle, 410bhp effort is also worth a look. On the expansion pipes the B-Race has the highest power and the graph suggests it would be great for touring, two-up and pretty good on a TS1. In fact it should be good on a standard 200 as well. I’m surprised that the Saigon Fresco copy has next best power, but the graph shows a fairly parallel line between the power and torque, the revs pull low rpm and it does rev on a bit. It does seem good value for money. As for the CL Race, well the engine is a bit small for this pipe, it’s too far up the rev range really. The power band is quite narrow and you can tell it was designed for something more powerful.” They say: The Ancillotti is an all-rounder aimed at all engines, tuned and standard, for people that want to retain the standard look, and you can remove the head cowling without removing the downpipe.

Availability: Production will begin when we return their prototype! Cambridge Lambretta 01223 516662 or www.lambretta.co.uk We love their retro charm as well as their keen prices but, like with most new bikes out there, we also wished for a bit less weight and a bit more power. Thankfully, the men from Milwaukee have come to the rescue. They say: This is aimed at tuned engines on Series 1 and 2s. We think that the JL road and race pipes are the best value for money pipes on the market, especially for an European product, light and easy to fit.

As for me, well I went home with the AF Big Bore fitted, in my opinion a good value-for-money pipe that fits easy and works well, which incidentally was John’s choice when asked what he would fit if he had this scooter and was after value for money – the winner I think therefore today. Yes I did have desires for one of the expansions, but I think them a little overkill for my Li. For those saying it defeats the object, I think you're missing the point that for some people fitting a larger bore exhaust is primarily to improve performance (i.e. spool and top end bhp on a turbo-charged car), rather than noise.
