Herrod Exhaust

[dutchie]

Swanga,

Check my sig, I did not get the full system........I simply had the Center Muff Removed with dual stainless steel pipes and exhaust tips from MagnaFlow.

Add couple hot dogs and in the end she only cost around $370 as apposed to anywhere from $800 - $1500 if you opt from Cat back in S/Steel.....

Apparently, (and this may apply to all T owners, but my rear muffler apparently is from an XR8...according to Dandy Exhaust Centre.....

After contacting Ford, they mentioned that in some instances, if they are out of stock or short of supply, they install the larger XR8 rear muffler instead.

Dandy Exhaust actually stated I was better of leaving this one on their......hows that for an honest opinion and service.....

Believe it or not, this together with BMC filter gave me an additional 20 RWKS...tested this before we placed on the CAPA Edit......so we jumped from 161 RWKW to 182 RWK and then after Edit to a safe 242 RWKW's...

At this stage I wont spend anymore money on her (until next month) only joking.........wife's coming in the study.........

I got the Herrod 2 1/2 inch Stainless installed by the guys who make it for Herrod, Hi-Tec mufflers Sydney and saved a truck load Vs getting it from Ford or Herrod. Love the way it sounds no drone and not a bad performance gain when added to the pace maker headers.

Dutchie, WTFs doing with 161RWKW mate whats the go. Is that a miss print or was your hand brake on mate?

I was just looking at the herrod zorst because you cant buy the APS one seperately

Yes you can buy the APS exhaust separately it's $1897 RRP not including fitting.

Most if not all Herrod gear is someone else's rebadged. Take a look at the CAPA tuner for example. I know a few guys that have run Herrod tuned cars and they aren't quick. The Herrod exhaust is someone elses badged Herrod, I think it could be DeFillipo but not sure. They usually charge more than the original manufacturer aswell.

If you're interested in buying an exhaust I'd do some researching on this site and you'll probably find a better cheaper exhaust.

Geea.

I agree Craig. A mate of mine that works at a Ford dealership fitted a Herrod's exhaust for a customer and it had Redback stickers on it!

NOS XR........this is from a dyno renowned as being about 20-25RWKW lower then most.

Here in Melbourne, Autotechnique is known for giving a lower reading........

No worries, that's the story just looked a bit out of place, thought you may have been sold a shocker mate.

From my time around here I have not heard or seen much feedback about any Herrod gear other than it is overpriced.Not one even moderately fast T has run Herrod gear that I can think of Gotta wonder why dont you?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Don't think there is anything wrong with their gear. It is usually good quality. Probably more to do with the tuning of the vechicle more than their gear.

I'd like to see all their gear on a car and tuned by someone else like HPF before you can draw that view. It seems that the only ones complaining about their performance or perseved lack of are the people who don't use any of their gear. If the complaints were coming from their customers then you could say they had a problem.

It's not always about having the fasted or most powerful car for a lot of people. But knowing you can leave your pride and joy there and know that it will be looked after in the same manner as you would expect and have piece of mind. You could eat your lunch on their workshop floor and they only have quality cars there.

If they were no good they'd be out of business.

Macka , I do hear where you are coming from, though to give context to my post, in 2+years on this forum I do not recall anyone having fitted a Herrod Exhaust . This may not necessarily be the case . Before I stumbled across this place the local Herrod dealer quoted me $2400 for a fitted "custom" Herrod zorst which to the best of my knowledge was a Di Fillipo rebadge.Would this option be better value than the APS system at ~$1800. I think not. Marketing guff at best.

Yeh, have to agree BP, $2400 sounds pretty step. One thing that I don't understand is if Herrod exhausts are just rebadged from other manufacturer why do they have their own distinctive sound. I have not heard any other exhaust options sound anywhere near the same as theirs. On either a V8 or turbo.

Anyway, I just get sick of people bagging Herrods stuff just for the sake of having a go at them at any opportunity, especially on the tuning side. I'd say by the look of the quality car they have outside and in their workshop they cater for some pretty well to do people with plenty of folding stuff to spend. They would be people who are not concerned like a few on here about having the fastest car or probably even racing their car at all and concerntrate on having it look .

Next time you see a Herrod preped car, have a real good look at it then have a look at one that has been by joe blogs. Its like comparing a T with a typhoon. Chalk and Cheese.

So stop the bagging and get back on topic.

I have a Herrod exhaust and would by another when the time comes.

My dad has a Herrod exhaust on his T and it sounds awesome. Some people may bag them but have a close look and they are extremely well made. Won't putting an APS exhaust on a stock T bring on overboost.

I agree Macka, Herrods are a very professional outfit and are probably the best marketers in the Ford aftermarket.

If you want a car that looks and sounds fast Herrod is for you. On the other hand if you want a car that actually go's fast or stops and handles Herrod's is not the place to go.

I personally would never use Herrod's because with a bit of research you'll get the same product at a much better price. This coupled with the fact that they can't tune are good reasons to go eleswhere in my book.

Geea.
