Please help me

Any suggestions how to make it louder and sound nice please

Any suggestions how to make it louder and sound nice please

Decat and a small rear silencer. Not loud or droney when driving normally, loud and growly when driven hard.

Thanks

How much does the full exhaust ruffly cost?

If I do a stage 1 map... Are their any other things I need to do or change on the car

stage 1 map and zaust will keep u happy for a while and no other mods needed at that stage although theres a long expensive list. lol

Thanks mate :-)

For it to sound half good you need to stick a hybrid turbo on and de-cat it. Anything else will just sound poo IMO.

P-Torque are a sponsor and are in the midlands somewhere and Dirty Torque are not far from you. Plenty of other sponsors that are worth the drive, so don't short-sight yourself

As for lowering, it's down to what you want from your car. Lowering springs will give a modest drop but not at the sake of comfort whereas coilovers will give a much better drop and better handling but can and probably will make your car less comfortable. (Budget dependant)

Plenty of threads on all of these subjects mate so go get searching and learn from it like I did once upon a time

Thanks for your advice

No worries

Before going faster you need to be able to stop. 312 front brake upgrade is a must on the Fabia.

Just the front ?

Would anyone recommend JOM coilovers

Would anyone recommend JOM coilovers

Although I've never bought them, I wouldn't unless I had no choice given the reports I have read. You get what you pay for, so buy cheap you tend to buy twice. Save up a bit and get something that you will be happy with long term.

Just the front ?

Yep just the fronts for now

110% agree with this.

Set your car up for the power first so it can handle it, that's what I did.

Thanks guys

Before you do anything, ask your insurer how much extra they want for you to upgrade the brakes and map it, with any luck that'll put you off spending your money on JOM's, at least for a while.

Their that bad ??

Getting then for £90 brand new and £30 fitting..

I've had virtually every set up exhaust wise and for the best all round I'd say decat with a box in at the back and it remapped. A 0 box system sounds good on full boost but the whistle on idle starts to get irritating after a while. I'd make your own system instead of spending £250+ on a system. I just welded a pipe in place of the cat and I've got a oval back box on now.

Lowering is upto you, I loved how mine looked on coilovers but everyone moaned it was bumpy, got eibach springs on now and it's really comfy but looks abit high for my liking. Think the only way to get comfy lows is to buy expensive coilovers

.

Thanks very helpful shall be taking your advice..thanks Kyle

Shall I get a screamer fitted
