Orbisoud Exhaust

[Ash J]

After an Orbisoud exhaust if anybody has one or wants to sell theirs.

Only other option I would consider is a BTB system, but preference is Orbisoud.

Currently have a resonated Scorpion cat-back system which could be included in a potential deal if of interest (could come with/without the genuine cat too).

Cheers,
Ash

Are you looking for a cup one?

Not sure if being serious? what's the difference? An orbisound exhaust is an orbisound exhaust

Did you manage to find one, Ash? I'm thinking about changing my system and Orbisoud is top of the wish list.

How does the Orbisound compare to a PMS?

Orbisouds are the pinnacle 'zorst but hens teeth to find now - I believe they stopped manufacturing them, but could be wrong.

Certainly pretty rare these days and they may possibly be unavailable from Orbisoud but they do still have them listed on their website.

I actually contacted Orbisoud to see what the current cost of a system is. A chap called Fabien replied and gave the prices below:

Soft - 1350 Euros
Racing - 1250 Euros

70 Euros shipping from France.

A guess that accounts for their scarcity, mine was a deal cheaper than that.

It's rather a lot more than I was expecting them to be. I'll hang onto the Milltek for now!

 

[frayz]

It is more than a Miltek, but put then if you want the best off the peg system for a Clio then that's what it costs i guess.
Still think id rather take mine to Matt @ Simpson Race Exhausts and have him make one. It would be more then the Orb but it will be a different league of quality again.

Im making do with my BTM.

 

[hoolio]

Don't get me wrong, I love mine and though crazy expensive they are pretty much worth it. Mine polishes up almost like new after what 13/14 years and the chances are if I sold it I would get a large part of what I paid.

Oh I forgot, it also sounds F-ing EPIC.

I ended up buying a PMS system in the end. Quality of the system looks really, really good, and I would imagine it is the best exhaust system that you can still buy new (apart from an Orb but they are over double the price).

It is currently being fitted as we speak, so I will have a better idea of how it sounds soon, but it certainly looks the part.

I did enquire about a new Orbisoud system, and as has been mentioned above, was in contact with Fabien who gave the prices shown above (1,350 or 1,250 EUR). I was pretty much ready to pull the trigger, but due to Covid and them having to close for a while, I ended up going for a PMS instead. At least I saved myself about £500-600 I suppose, as much as I would still like an Orb.

The only other system to consider, if you can get hold of one, is a BTB system. Had one of these on my Black Gold 182 a number of years ago now. Quality was absolutely second to none. But like the Orb, they are like hens teeth to get hold of. I did e-mail BTB back around February time to see if they would still make a system for a 182 - they said yes, but quoted £2k including VAT and fitting!

I wish I'd never sold my Pro-Speed system - let it go for peanuts, too. I now need a new (full) system for mine as that is the last thing it needs before it can come home (oh, and an MOT).

 

[Gambit]

In my humble opinion i hold the PMS system as the best of the best for exhaust systems out there for the Trophy. The quality is second to none and in combination with the mounting system and weld quality on the flanges makes it #1.

Anyone know what size the Orbisoud pipework is?
2.25” or 2.5”?
Thanks. ?

 

[hoolio]

i've mislaid/lent my Vernier so cannot be 100% accurate but i'm currently refurbing the mounting plates so will try my best. I seem to remember 60mm??

 

[frayz]

So neither 2.25 or 2.5” then. ?
Gotta love those Frenchies!!

 

[hoolio]

Got to ask why you would like to know?
