[200q20v] Thinking of upgrading exhaust???? Any suggestions

[Mike O'Donnell]

Taka,

We had this discussion last June regarding a group purchase for 200q20v owners.  Below is a copy of a reply from BN Pipes in Germany regarding their cat-back system for our cars.  Check out the web-site as well, if their system is TUV approved in Germany, it should have a manageable volume level.  Current currency conversion is $838 U.S + shipping.  We could probably get a healthy discount with a group purchase.  Has anyone tried one of these systems?

  Tim,
  Jeff Posto on the S-car list is organizing a Stromung group buy for the S cars. Once
  that is finished, he is talking to Stromung about doing a group buy for the '91 200q20v.
  I'd wait a couple weeks for some feedback from him. The Stromung is a full cat-back
  3" exhaust for about $900 (group buy price). I think I will go that route, if I can afford it.

    Hi all 
    I'm thinking of upgrading the exhaust on my 91 200tq20v, I have a SJM chip & K&N running about 19psi of boost. I would like to have something that would give me more power and a throatier sound. Do any of you have any experience with ANY applications i.e. custom, prefabbed. I would really like some feed back. Thanks 

    Tim
