Vortex Exhausts
Anyone got a Vortex Exhaust fitted. Quite interesting claims on their website. Discovered them after an enquiry to Nene, who now say they offer them as a retro-fit to their Icons.

Feedback anyone? Thumbs Up Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

Can see no real facts about how it "increases" anything.

In fact the truest thing on the website is this at the bottom of the page:

lots of stuff on google, mainly for hot hatches etc.

If Nene are selling it for £900 it must work Whistle

Hi , After seeing a Vortex fitted on a Cobra whilst watching Wheeler Dealer, it made me contact them. They have put me in touch with a Local Supplier who has quoted £600 Fitted They claim 10% better bhp and torque. Wait and see

Unless you are planning on a dyno run before and after, it's going to be difficult to know anything isn't it?

There's a certain irony in that people are removing them from the intake side but adding them to the exhaust side, apparently to do the same thing Confused

I know these chaps and aren't far from me.

I always use them as they are friends to fit exhausts I buy such as Milltek but never had one of theirs.

Always do a great job at fitting mine and snooping around their parts, there's always nice bits.

Can't. Comment on their actual Vortex systems though.

Upgrades including exhausts
I wouldn't have thought just changing the exhaust without a re map would do any good.

Had my 90 Dynoed before and after mods (exhaust, Intercooler and air filter), and it produced exactly the same results.

Bit of a difference after re-map, 40% more torque 30% more power.

But it was a surprise that there was no change just by adding "bits"!

On "Top Gear" a while back, with a Renault performance modded by the threesome and driven by "The Stig" I seem to remember the biggest performance gain was just by giving the car a service!?
