Title: Exhaust
Post by: tokemk4gti.t on 30 October 2012, 11:09: been quoted £475 for a 2.5" stainless exhaust with high flow sport cat fully fitted with lifetime warantee.. is this good?? the high flow cat .. im asuming thats part of the downpipe? so this mean it includes downpipe aswell?

Post by: dom on 30 October 2012, 20:31: I'd hope that price is for a full system?!

Don't bother with the sports cat...just get a decat pipe and save your money :wink:

Post by: GTi_James on 30 October 2012, 20:58: im doing mine in stages, twin rear miltek non-res, then sports down pipe unless i can twist my mechanics arm, and then i'll start with manifold, my friends dad owns a metal shop and specialise in castings :lipsrsealed: and then hopefully one day uprating the engine itself or getting it rebuilt which ever way i feel about it, though if your wanting sounds then just go for what most have done and get the drafts zorst i think it is, 3" all the way

Post by: dan2252 on 02 November 2012, 23:18: I've got a 2.5 full system if I could choose again I'd go to 3" as the 2.5 isn't loud enough I've heard doms before which is 3" and it sounds lovely. Get rid of the cat you don't need it. :)

Title: Re: Exhaust
Post by: shaft69 on 03 November 2012, 18:48: I'd say that's cheap i'd say the APR d/pipe with sports cat on my car alone was near £500.
Title: Re: Exhaust
Post by: AaronGS on 03 November 2012, 22:24: I have to agree with shaft69. I have one of those downpipes knocking around the shed, gathering dust too! Its not for the standard turbo though.
