Hi All- Is anyone running a EX box or the EX box ST on the GT186 -- I was thinking I might try one, but want to know how people are finding them first on this kit. :roll:

I’ve just built and fitted one but not ran it yet

Yes,just fitted one but have also changed carb at the same time so it is a little bit difficult to compare it like for like with the v1 MB/bgm Clubman that was on before.

I also haven’t done any miles as still jetting the Mikuni TM24.

All that said, I can tell it pulls strongly through the entire range. I can’t say anything to dissuade you from getting one.

I've got them on both my ts1 225's & can't fault them , bags of torque , I don't think you will be disappointed if you purchase one ;)

A few years back I ran a tino ancilotti on a gt186 and it was dire. When I changed to a bgm v3, it transformed it.

I know that doesn't directly answer your question, but they are both 48mm headers, so I'd expect similar results. The ex-box has a larger tailpipe so will lose a tiny bit of bottom end but gain at higher revs.
