Really starting to like them. I think they sound very good.
Been looking around on the net and can get a full system for under £200. Thing is they dont list mk3 gti 8v, only mk3 1.4l, gti 16v and VR6. Doesnt anyone know where I can find a system for a gti 8v? Or maybe would a mk2 8v system fit?
-
i would think gti 16v and VR6 would fit?

nope, 16v and vr6 have larger bored size than 8v
-
fair enough, i'm trying to look for an upswept twin back box anyone know where i can get one?
-
They're sh!te.
I had one on my mk2, the fit was appauling. Sold it to a mate (he knew it was a shoddy fit) and within 3 months the welds were cracked where the pipes enter the silencer. Ashley didn't want to know as i didn't have the original receipt, which i suppose is understandable, but the thing was quite clearly brand new. Anyway, he welded it up a couple of times and ended up chucking it after a year.....

ahh right. And what about OMP group N exhausts?
-
Omp will be a lot better than the ashley setup.

I cant find the OMP exhaust for mk3 though. Had a look all over google but no luck. Anyone know any pages that sell it?

You know what, it may well have been an OMP rather than Ashley, i'm not sure now! I'll try and find out, it was a couple of years ago though :undecided:

I want to avoid OMP because they are very raspy, and i dont want raspy.

My friend had one on his Civic and it was not raspy.
