Jetex exhaust fitted (PICTURES)
« on: 02 March 2006, 19:57 »
Hi

I've just had the Jetex stainless steel fitted to my MK 3 16 Valve. The sound is just right - not too boomy at motorway speeds but a nice roar when you floor the throttle. Build quality is superb and yesterday I got the garage to adjust it so that it sits higher in the rear valance and flush with the valance.

See the pics below.

I've got the jetex cat back system, its excellent, good performance without a stupid booming noise, probably because of the huge centre silencer!
Fitting is difficult because of the size of the pipe and boxes.
I got mine for 140 quid off ebay, worth keeping an eye out, as they pop up from time to time.

i agree about the difficulty of fitting it. It's taken me 3 weeks to get it just right. The pipes and boxes are quite big but the sound is very acceptable at motorway speeds.
The Jetex normaly sticks out a bit more on the MK3 but the garage I took it to yesterday shaved a bit off where the front box and the middle box join. It's now almost flush with the rear bumper. It also sits a bit higher than when i first got it fitted.
