Title: Jetex exhausts
Post by: mk4Martin on 27 February 2008, 23:11
Anybody have a jetex exhaust on the 1.8T ?  i know miltek come highly recommended but i have a load of halfords vouchers so would be costing me virtually nothing and halfords dont do miltek .

my choices there are piper or jetex

most people opt for twin 3" rounds... especially for the mk3's - but it is totally your choice

which do you prefer?

yeah i like the twin 80mm tail but they are showing 2 on their website one of the exhausts the twin pipes go to the side slightly befor exiting through the splitter

what i dont is to have the exhaust sitting below the splitter without cut out i soar that today on a mk4 and it made his car look well tacky about 5 pounds worth.  :lipsrsealed:

i think i see what you are saying...  :undecided:

you want the tail pipes to sit correctly? right?

have a look at my tailpipe picture... jetex are a very well made exhaust and it fitted very well - it's even and just looks right

best thing to do is to give jetex a call directly and ask their advice about which one is correct for your car... I did that and the old boy I spoke to was very helpful indeed

to be honest if you read on other forums about choosing an exhaust alot of people recommend jetex over miltek for fitting, sound and not forgetting price. check ukmk4s quite a few pople wanted to get their miltek off just as quick as they got it on. sorry to most the lads on hear you'll hate me for saying such things. :angry:  :rolleyes:

Again it all down to personal preference at the end of the day. Ive heard a lot of exhausts and would never buy anything but milltek BUT thats just me (Im getting old  :grin:)

 Mods are all about what YOU like. No one will hate you on here because its your opinion  :wink:
