8v Jetex aluminised steel exhaust
« on: 11 October 2009, 14:01 »
Hi there, I know this topic has been covered in various forms before.

There's this on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380157079219&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

It's the cheapest place I've found so far.

I've heard alot of people recommend the Jetex stainless steel systems... but does anyone have the aluminised steel system fitted to their GTi? what have been your experiences with it so far?? Is the aluminised steel quieter than its stainless steel counterpart?

Regards

Mild steel does have a different sound to SS but not that noticeable maybe more crisp :undecided:
It also is stronger and more flexible but less corrosion resistant que the Aluminisation.
SS can crack from heat and excessive warpage.
Personaly i would get an Alzd Mild steel exhaust next time, Less money less weight and a good one will last the car out unless you want the polished look :smiley:
