Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 14y 6m 2d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 06/02/12 08:51 AM Share Posted 06/02/12 08:51 AM Have seen the CES 3.5" FG system. The split dump (ceramic coated) is a work of art. However, I was very surprised to see the zorst was made up of a series of mandrel bends welded together. Whilst all (the welds) looked first class, IMO that's not a true mandrel system. Not saying they don't flow - we all know they do - but to me if they're all hand made like that, that's why we're paying that much coin. $2,500k fitted for 3.5" mild steel system aint cheap IMO. Also, they used the original rubber hangers on a members car which couldn't take the heat and the system sagged when hot. Small issue, but needed to be replaced at the owners cost. So after seeing that it would be xforce for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then some injectors and e85. You'll be plenty happy. (same as Franks car- the guy at maccas) Edited 06/02/12 09:06 AM by dre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it on my f6. its very well made systen.. u get what u pay for.F6mark , how does the CES sound ? , Is yours stainless or mild ?. I have been looking at a full system now for awhile and have tossed up between CES , NIZPRO and Xforce . Have heard xforce can sometimes be hit & miss with attention to deatil but value for money is fantastic .Nizpro I've heard can be very hard to fit and can make a crackling noise from the muffler when they get hot and when the engine is turned off , but still a very good system .I think I will go with the CES ( Im sure there a issues with them as well , only heard 1 though ) because I live a hour or so away from the factory so I can go and have a look at how they are made , and if there is a problem with the system I can take it back and should be able to get it sorted all on the same day .
