kpro ecu and exhaust

30 Oct 2006, 1:48pm
Just had an interesting conversation with cpl racing regarding the kpro and fitment into my car!
When I said it ws for a kit car the first question he asked me about was the exhaust apparently it has to be 4-2-1 not 4-1 with the primarys 24inch long!
Not sure how this would fit though but he stated that some companies are fitting elise's with 4-1 for cost and they don't drive very well.

As I have said in a previous post I will be changing my exhaust and will defo look at this option!

As for the kpro I will be getting one within the next couple of weeks £728 all in including testing on a type r before sending back to me!

Cheers Jerry

I have a standard downpipe in the garage. I'll take some pics, and post them, as if you've not got an OEM pipe you might find them of use?

Edit: photos are here:

Note that although the downpipe to the cat looks like one tube, it is split across the diameter internally. Probably about 10 inches for the 4 - 2 section, then 14 inches for the 2-1 section (assuming it extends all the way to the cat substrate).

http://www.k20a.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12789 - worth a read - I'll stick with the marlin one.... and stick mine on the dyno... then we can compare.

I think it's a black art.... and to say one thing is better than another, without considering the other aspects of the exhaust is perhaps a bit sweeping.

Interesting thread John! But when i was talking to cpl they did not really mention power but the driveability of the car and the power delivery with a 4-2-1 against a 4-1 which he said was totally different and very noticable
