wife now around little finger, exhaust time!!!!

[danny20vt]

righty then, when i bought my car the back box was hanging a little low, so i asked the garage to weld another bracket on before i took delivery as i was planning things secretly in my head away from the one that rules, anyway i've enjoyed the car so much i forgot about it...

...until 1 mile from home this evening, so, i've persuaded the wife to let me have some of my wages for a new one and i'm allowed around £250-£300, can anyone recommend a back box/cat back system for this price range, i also want a sporty sound but need it a bit quiet for little 11 week old ears, the 4 year old ears don't matter they'd love a loud one. I've thought of going to exhaustsuk again as i have had good experiences there before, mainly though as i fancy a 6"X 4" oval but all i can find is twin exits
HELP

milltek cat back is around £320
jetek a little cheaper but fairly quiete is £295

piper system is also ment to be okay.

struggle to find 6x4 oval tbh mate.

stick to the oem twin pipe, looks good in milltek form.

this is why i thought of exhaustsuk, they do any tail pipe imaginable, but not sure on performance gains compared to the others as i've only had theirs on low powered cars

wouldnt go custom tbh mate, no proven tests done.. may look okay, depends on the franchise really.

personally think oem look is the best, itll look like a cupra r when it isnt mate.

 

[danny20vt]

in that case i think i'm swinging towards a milltek as i've seen decent comments on here about them

 

[james walker]

good choice.

proven tested and well reported system, all you need is the dp and cat now to really feel the difference

What about Blueflame? Their cat backs are around the £300 mark and I'm sure they do the oval shape like the OEM LCR. Correct me if I'm wrong...

 

[james walker]

nope you are right mate, forgot that one. but i think his is a cupra matey, do they do one for the cupra in oval?

still i prefer the oem look, wouldnt want it looking like the arse end of an r when it isnt

 

[BoomhaueR]

True, but if he wants an oval one there's only one way to find out if they do it. http://www.blueflameperformance.com/prange.php?modelid=426&makeid=90&pageid=3
No pics of it so give them a ring and see what they can do

Dont forget supersprint! They do oval shape, very similar to the LCR one, nicely rolled outer edge etc..

Had one on mine - absolute top quality, perfect fitment. That with a milltek sports-cat and i was a happy man.

I had to wait a while, as it was made to order tho.

i can recommend supersprint, really good systems and i've had 2 in the past, both fitted really well and sounded nice. As said, miltek is also quality and as you know do the twin style, non res would suit nicely me thinks.

Remember the Milltek is not a 6" x 4".
It's a flatter oval shape thats not too pleasing to the eye

the oval miltek is not available for the LC. twin pipes only I'm affraid.

Piper do an oval for the LC, £320 off the top of my head.

The website says it's a 5x3 oval that fits the cut out on the rear bumper.

Shouldn't have been so lazy...

Only other exhaust company that comes to mind, other than mentioned above, would be Jetex.

 

[Nutkin]

Jetex cause they are english.

 

[Shadders]

Only aftermarket I have used was a 'down pipe back' system & Cat replacement pipe from Magnex. Good quality & fit. Not too loud but nice note.
I've heard they have gone bankrupt. I bought mine from company called Roadrunner & think they still stock.

Milltek Cat-Back, it cost me £330 for the resonated version which is'nt much noisier than standard, lovely..

Dont let ExhaustsUK sell you a Cobra Stainless Exhaust, that will just upset the 11 week old, and the wife, and the neighbours, etc, etc.....
