Thread: New to my MPS 6, and clueless.

  1. #1

    Default New to my MPS 6, and clueless.

    I hope I'm allowed to ask lots of questions, I will shortly be getting a 2006 Black MPS 6, with around 55xxx KM's.

    Will I have any problems if get a cat-back?

    I was thinking corksport because of the deep growl it gives, but then again I don't know many exhausts made for the 6 MPS.

    Has anyone bought from MPSgarage.com.au?

    Also, http://www.mpsgarage.com.au/shop/pro...st-system.html is not the full exhaust yet is it? I need to buy the downpipe and midpipe too am I right?

    full corksport too I suppose...

    and SRI or CAI?

    Also, will I need a tune?

    Sorry for all the questions!

    Corksport exhaust is exceptionally well made, looks beautiful, sounds great, minor drone.
    Dad had one on his 6. Well known for polishing it after every drive.
    Highly recommended.
    Will have no problems with it.
    Maybe slight power increase, but could be noise = power.

    SRI vs CAI. personal preference thing I think. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.


    MPSG......well, ummm, search button is your friend.
    Some get great service (seemingly those who spend most with them) while others couldn't get worse service
    It's a bit hit and miss with them
    Mostly miss.
    And it seems Corksport stuff is next to impossible to obtain from them at the moment.

    Ah thanks for the reply, yeah I just read up on some stuff about MPSG... think I'm going to pass lol.
    But the exhaust they are selling is minus the mid pipe and downpipe right? I don't even know what a mid pipe is.. and I read something about needing to get turbo inlets if I went with a different exhaust, wth is a turbo inlet? Lol

    Dump pipe is the pipe straight from the turbo, mid pipe is the next bit including the 2nd cat, then the last part is the cat back. The dump pipe makes the biggest power gain.

    Turbo inlet pipe is on the intake side of the turbo, nothing to do with the exhaust.

    For intake parts, contact Troy "2XS" he's in business because of mpsg. Quality products, and Aussie made.
    And if you are in Queensland, I'm sure he can sort out anything else you could want.

    yes, the mid pipe replaces the 2nd cat. The 2nd cat will be no more replaced with the pipe

    So a full exhaust would consist of the down pipe / dump pipe starting from the turbo, then the mid pipe, then the cat-back? btw why is it called the 2nd cat? whats the 1st?

    a downpipe replaces parts 1-3, a "test/mid pipe" replaces part 3, so it's that last 1/3 of a downpipe

    if you have a downpipe and a catback, you dont need to replace anything else

    Test pipe is a substitute for the second cat. The mid pipe runs from the second cat to the T piece.

    So the mid pipe is number 4 in the diagram.

    A catback includes numbers 4, 5 and 6.

    In any case, the OEM mufflers are extremely well designed and you'll only gain a measly 2 kw if you replace them, plus a lot of droning. If you're looking for power you only need a DP and a custom made mid pipe. My advice is to keep the stock mufflers.

    Hey mate, Welcome! I've got a test pipe lying around if you're interested, got it off another member and never fitted it! You're welcome to have it (or anyone else in perth) PM me if you want it.
    Cheers

    Ahhh, well what confused me was that on MPSG there's a downpipe, midpipe, and cat-back exhaust system for sale, so I was thinking i would need all 3 of them to make a full exhaust, not just the downpipe and the cat-back exhaust system?

    And number 4 in the diagram looks alot longer then the midpipe on MPSG, i appreciate all the answers and would just like to remind you guys I am new to all this, just incase you guys are getting frustrated with my questions lol
