Just picked up my car from Rogue.........

........and wow!!
There is a world of difference between NA and turbo, moreso than i realised before. Despite the poor weather all the way home i managed to try out the power a little bit before i got scared and backed off!!!!
Workmanship on the transplant certainly reflects rogue's reputation-can't fault it one bit.
Had one of their exhausts fitted (first one they have fitted i believe) and i can certainly recommend it!!! Lovely exhaust note, and a lovely little burble at idle.
Thanks to everyone at rogue for all their work on this. Its put a huge smile on my face!! :D :D :D :D :D :D

Pics please!!!!!

How loud is the exhaust, and what does it sound like when motorway cruising? Im looking at getting one of them soon with any luck. Partick at Rouge played me a vid of the Rev6 zorst last week, and it sounded great. Cant wait to hear it attached to my car!

Here are some pictures of the exhaust. Note the revision 6 logo through the grill, very classy!!
Not as clean as it should be really but as i say, it wasn't the best weather for the trip home!!

Right, for some reason i can't get the pics to work!! so here are the links to them which should work. [-o<

in answer to some questions- motorway driving was fine, i had dual carriageway/motorway all the way home and loved the sound all the way!!
And, would i recommend one? i certainly would do yes. Fantastic bit of kit

Did you get the engine bay fan kit at the same time ? - did you get a special deal ?
I might ask for one tmrw - pah it's only money #-o

Can i ask how it's connected - ie when the fans come on .. manual or connected to a sensor circuit ? - does it make much noise ?

thanks for any info :wink:

yes i did get it at the same time mate.
They have recently been reduced in price to £200 plus VAT i think it was.
Mine is set to come on when the intercooler fan comes on but i'm fairly sure Patrick said they can be wired to a switch if needs be.
Noise wise they are fine only a faint whine when you are sat in the car, only come on for a few seconds at a time though i've found so far as they are so good at their job.
Plus, as well as the cooling benefits, the gas strut is excellent as is the finish, i think it really finishes off the engine bay area nicely.
