Exhaust choices....

[Vipers_Venom]

Hi,

Thinking of getting an exhaust for my FR, and am stuck between either a Jetex or a Milltek..... Jetex - £264.60 and Milltek - £286.49. Both twin round tailpipes.

I would like an exhaust that fills the gap in the rear bumper, so how much bigger are the tailpipes than standard?

Thanks.

have you thought about going for a powerflow custom made system as i got one for my leon cupra in stainless steel with a lifetime warrenty and a choice of tail pipe ends for £170 from the cat back and it sounds great

Powerflow?



Problem with powerflow is some places are good... some places are bad.

I say ... blueflame ... all the way.

Do supersprint do one as they tend to be of very good quality and less restrictive.

Ive ordered a Milltek from Awsome GTI.

Should get it in a week or so.

After having a Powerflow on my Calibra, I wouldnt touch them again. Started blowing after a couple of months. Was probably down to where i got it from as the guy who fitted it looked about 12 yrs old!

I have a supersprint my my LC.. looks better than standard (more like the LCR) and fills the cut out nicley

Milltek on my LCR

Very nice bit of kit

Darth have you painted the bottom section of your LCR bumper silver?????

Venom did you go to BMC on Alum Rock Road??? I am local to them and have had 3 powerflows but all have been perfect.

 

[Darth Tater]

Darth have you painted the bottom section of your LCR bumper silver????? mate

Has always been like that. Mine's an MY03 210. Maybe bottom of bumper is like that on Black ones?

Mine is 52 210 red but lower section is dark grey ????
Looks a nice light silver in pic

Darth, that Milltek looks pretty sweet!!

Cant wait till I get mine. I got the twin jet tailpipe though.

BHP Addict - When I had my Powerflow, I got it fitted from a place in Coventry. A right bunch of chav's they were! Hence the shoddy fitting!

Prob the flash from the camera mate. I didn't take the photo so can't be sure. It's prob the same colour as yours I think, just looks a bit diff' in the photo

Vipers, I didn't realise they did a diff' tailpipe option to be honest but I should think twin pipes will look pretty sweet . I'm pretty happy with mine as it's similar to the standard LCR's in looks. Sticks out a little more at the back that's all

Vipers Venom:

Have you gone for the resonated or non-resonated CAT-back system?

 

[Vipers_Venom]

Ive gone for the resonated cat-back system. they advised at Awesome that if i did a lot of motorway driving, which i do, the non-resonated exhaust can get a little loud and irritating.

 

[cordobabrendy]

nowt wrong with powerflow, its the fitters, go to a reputeable one and your laughing, I think milltek is over priced to be honest.

 

[Vipers_Venom]

Does look nice, and they do sound good too. Just a shame some fitters are such cowboys otherwise Powerflow would be up there with the top brands.

 

[cordobabrendy]

independant rr runs also show they are top of the pile for gains too. saw a write up somewhere on t'internet.

 

[petay_pan]

I'm in this same boat, from all the stories I have heard about powerflow they are a no go....also as for power gains from the exhaust don't expect too much if any, if you want gains change the piddly manifold the standard exhaust type is fine.

I just after a replace ment that isn't made from rubbish mild steel so milteck one looks best?

 

[Vipers_Venom]

I guess its down to personal choice, budget and reputation. But cant go wrong with a Milltek.
