Looking to put a free flow exhaust on the VX 200 T/D.
Has any one put a "Brand name" system on and what was the result?
I was going to do the exhaust first, then chip it after seeing how much the exhaust system does to economy and power.
Where do most systems start or do they have to have extractors fitted as
well.
I am based in
Sydney, but would travel east coast if a good system/company.

I have a
Beaudesert Mandrel exhaust and a Safari chip in my 100ser.
Gives more oomph but still use the same amount of fuel.
Reason being if you have the grunt you tend to use it.
I get exactly the same consumption figures with the upgrade to what I got before doing it.
I believe Safari chips are no longer imported by the distributor.

Should have said Safari DTRONIC chips.

I can't help you with an East coast supplier, but I have a custom twin 2.5 inch stainless system fitted with a chip by Manta exhaust in
Cunderdin W.A, (no affiliation) from the dump pipes back and around the long range tank.
On the dyno the exhaust gives an extra 17 kilowatts and the Sting chip an extra 37 kilowatt on top of that.
The revs dropped by 175 at 110 km/h and the fuel consumption is hard to judge accurately as the wife and I have extremely heavy right feet.
The sound is brilliant and we are extremely happy with the wormanship and service from this company.
Hope this helps.
Dave

Have been thinking about a 3" exhaust for my 200 as
well, know a local bloke who put one on, he says it has improved fuel economy a bit.
As for the chip, a friend put a Spyder chip in and has got extra power as
well as marginally better fuel economy. But I wouldn't risk the chip, as it will affect your warranty. Besides haven't they got enough grunt anyway!
