just got a price from longlife cat back with a 2.5 tailbk is that any gwd thn ?

They given you a price for a single 2.5" rolled out tail pipe, imo I think that type of tail pipe doesn't suit the Ibiza. Try getting another price with the tail pipe that you want..... eg, twin 2.5", 3", 4", letter box etc but don't pay no more than the price you got now with the tail pipe you want.

Custom exhuast companies quote you a price depending what mood they in or the 1st set of numbers that comes into their heads. My mate managed to get a cat back system from Longlife in Cardiff for £250 and as he was going out a boy came in asked for just a backbox and they quoted him £200 for one.

There's loads of custom exhuast companies in South Wales, Longlife in Cadiff, another one in Swansea, Prospeed, Z-Ex, Welsh Coast Customs (Powerflow). So just ring around and get some prices.

from what i've heard (this may just be my branch) the powerflow in leeds are.... lets say no good. i saw one of thier welds come off a golf as i was at superflow (small known custom exhaust makers also in leeds) and they hadnt even welded the exhaust pipes to the b/box properly, just tacked it all the way round.
the guys at superflow also quoted me less, and said they were forever takin powerflow systems off cause they were shat.

he also showed me the underside of a clio williams he had done from the manifold back and said if i could spot a weld he'd give me £100, which i couldnt... show off!
