Title: Custom exhaust?
Post by: jnufcuk on 12 April 2012, 17:14
Emailed a few local companies and got this back, sound good?


Hi Jon thank you for your enquiry on a cat back system for your vw golf. I can give you a price for a standard custom build cat back for £299+vat with a life-time warranty, built with a quality 304 stainless steel tubing.
our custom build will be more ideal as it is made to your choice of sound, looks and flow... it will take approx 2-3hours to complete the job..


My other option was a scorpian for £336?

I have a Longlife one, you get a choice of standard, mid sports or full sports sounds, I have the mid sport and its pretty loud when you put your toe down  :evil:
Life time guarantee etc etc
Cost me £340 from the cat back - and had a 200 cell sports cat added later for £399

Just a local company near me. Deal with longlife exhausts. Seems quite good price and get lifetime warranty. If I get scorpian will have to get someone to first as well so more hassle.

This is the scorpian one. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330527047712?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Cool sounds good. Don't want it overly loud lol, comes to about£350 fully fitted so didn't think that was too bad.

Ive got the 3"dp with sports cat atm so think a cat back will set it off nicely  :smiley:

Was thinking of turbo back but what's the difference?

Nick and Craig at Carbon heard mine and that was without the sports cat  :evil:
Next time I go and see them will be with the K03s fitted too  :wink:

If you are looking at long life I wouldnt recommend anything over the mid sports because given how loud mine is a full sports would be horrific  :laugh:

Another company just replied and will do it for £270 all inc. and they are power flow dealers?

So stuck again lol

Think I'm gunna go with these guys as they are cheaper and done a quick search and people recommend them highly. Few people on ukmkivs have been there so all good  :cool:
