[Mk2] [NA] Will this fit?

[blue2]

Hi just a quick question. I have a V6 conversion and my car was an NA. Im looking to change out the exhaust (back box only) and found a Fujitsubo Legalis R backbox from a turbo. Will this fit my car? Im aware that turbos and NA's have different fitments but this is just the backbox. I have the decat pipe etc.

Thanks

no in a word, can be made to fit but a turbo exhaust on an NA is going to be very loud

As above it can be made to fit with a small amount of fiddling

Im pretty sure its standard practise to fit either tubby or na exhausts to v6 conversions. Its certainly no where near as bad as fitting a tubby exhaust to a standard na. A lot of people use tubby exhausts on their conversions I think.

Might be worth dropping Paul Woods or peter Gidden a quick pm just to clarify.

i seem to remember kelvin (kayjay) put a turbo exhaust on his v6 and took it off rather quickly

I've run my v6 on a blitz nur spec r with a custom down pipe and Camry cat

Now got a Legalis R fitted to the same down pipe and cat

ah didnt realise you still ran a turbo system, very loud or really loud?

The reason people don't put turbo exhausts on NAs is because they become insanely loud.

The reason they become insanely loud is because with an NA, you lose the turbo that interrupts the exhaust system - on an NA there is nothing between your explosive chambers of goodness and your burbling backbox except resonant metal piping (which is very short compared to most cars), resonators, and silencers.

With an NA exhaust there is typically more baffling and larger single-body silencers which do a better job of quietening things down than smaller ones do — this is why very few NA exhausts have split back boxes. Of course, as well as this, it is because the piping comes in at 90° rather than straight... Anyway...

Putting a turbo exhaust on any engine that does not have a turbo interrupting the exhaust system is going to be very loud.

The Nur spec was a little loud at 70 mph so changed it before I got an ASBO

The Legalis sounds great and not too loud

John (Torero) runs one on his v6 too

Thanks guys! So is the Leglis R a turbo or NA pipe? Theres one for sale on here is all, and if it will fit mine with minor adjustments and its not too loud Ill get it. Cheers

Fujitsubo do versions of the Legalis R for the 3sgte and 3sge, the NA version has 60mm piping and more silencing, the turbo version has 76mmm piping and will be quite a bit louder fitted to V6.

Thanks guys,
Just got my car back from the garage and the pipe behind the back box are blowing like crazy and need replacing. Do any v6 owners know if these pipes are fabricated to fit, from a camry or are they stock mr2 ones? Im completely in the dark as to which part I need to order.
Thanks!

downpipe is used from the camry, and it is modified to join you choice of backbox, my car runs a blueflame turbo box modified to fit and it sounds lovely not asbo loud, but nice and deep on idle and even when u get going it is subtle..
I did for a short while fit the oem mk2 n/a back box on and fit that to the v6, it sound very quiet on idle and had a raspy note once u got going , only thing I felt with it though was the car felt a bit held back at higher rpm, u could feel the torque but the car seemed be a little strangled towards top end, fitting the blueflame cured that

[blue2]

Thanks just wasnt sure which car it was from. Which blueflame have you got, off the shelf one or bespoke? Ive been looking at them as theyre main warehouse is not that far from me, price is quite high though at £500ish. Do you get the nice V6 burble with yours?

[p5ycho]

this is the exact model that I have fitted, but I got my exhaust off ebay and was considerably cheaper.,

rogue motorsport do the same item for £337

and here is a similar exhaust on ebay but looking closely the tips arent rolled like mine..

with regards to sound, well mine does have the v6 burble on low revs and idle, when you get going over 4k it roars but is bareable and not the asbo loud

[blue2]

Thanks that's really helpful. So is yours a mongoose or a blue flame? And did it take a lot of fettling to get it to fit?

[p5ycho]

both blueflame and mongoose exhaust are actually made by the same company, mine is the blueflame I posted in the 1st link..
fitting wise the exhaust hangers are in exactly the same place on both n/a and turbo cars so no issues there, the downpipe was modded slightly to mate with the exaust, if I remember correctly I paid either £140 or £160 to have the downpipe modded and mated to the exhaust, might sound bit expensive but it was a last minute booking and job was done while I wait..

[blue2]

Thanks I didn't realise they were one and the same! Ill get the downpipe ordered today

[Ryan6926]

Sorry to hijack the thread but when you say it'll need a bit of fiddling what do you mean exactly? Is it that the mounts / flanges are different or just a bigger diameter to allow more gases through?

I want a new exhaust on mine so I'll possibly end up with one off a turbo, I don't mind it being loud as when I bought a MR2 I expected it to be but have been a tad underwhelmed by the fact mine's quiet

Cheers in advance

I've got a custom Stainless steel(Hayward and Scott) downpipe fitted to my v6 and is made to end where a standard n/a exhaust would , So in theory I can fit any n/a exhaust

ones I've tried

n/a TRD exhaust (with MR2 cat)
n/a Japspeed exhaust
Turbo Blitz Nur Spec R (with Camry cat)
Turbo Fujitsubo Legalis R (with Camry cat)(or FE decat) and custom stainless midpipe

[Ryan6926]

Ok cheers so I'd need to go for the downpipe down then as opposed to the manifold

Also would this only be relevant to a v6 conversion?

Sorry for the noob question
