my ebay exhaust.. new vid added page 3.

[jamie16v]

so, i was after an exhaust for a long time but couldnt afford something like a milltek so i was having a look on ebay. i saw a few come up for about £200 which was still above what i could afford but they still looked very good quality for the money (i still wernt prepared to pay that much).
there were a few that came up for auction for the golf but always went for more than £150 which still was more money than i had to play with at the time.
so i was looking at the differences between the milltek for golf, leon 1.8t 180 and octavia 1.8t ect. and i found that the 4mo style exhausts had the same part number as the leon. i figured there would be less demand for a leon exhaust (dont ask why i just assumed) so i searched for an exhaust for a seat leon and found an exhaust with 99p start brand new.  here is what i found. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400178323332&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_929wt_698
i was in work when the auction was due to end while the auction was at about £50. i said to the missus to keep an eye on it and stick a maximum bid of about £85.
once i got home from work she said, "i did try baby but,...... i got it for £110"...lol
to be honest i was chuffed. the exhaust arrived on tuesday and i managed to get it fitted tonight.
my honest verdict, not bad at all, well worth the money and quality is not an issue. it fitted well and sounded good. not loud at all but gave a lovely sporty tune when opened up. it made a real difference over the stock exhaust regarding responsiveness and really made me smile. i will make a little vid tomorrow so you can get an idea of the sound.
i know i sound like a right tight bastid or a pikey but im just a bloke with little money for toys and my message is these are spot on for the money.

im actually in the market for an exhaust at the minute...do milltek do the stealth exhausts? same as the stock just obviously better quality and a bit more of a roar? my stock exhaust kicks a fair bit but thats is only because im highly suspect of a hole in it lol needing a new one soon and a recommendation would be blinding...any u can suggest...my limit is about 300 quid

[jamie16v]

for £300 you can get a good custom. and stretch an extra £50 for a milltek

Sure we all dont have as much money to spend on our cars as we would like!

I made my exhaust from a backbox i had from a punto  , axle pipe i had from secondhand golf backbox and downpipe + sports cat from the chinese in a group buy.

i managed to get my de-cat cheap too, i think that was about £50 delivered. obviously the problem now is swapping over every mot time.

Chances are you might need a new one for every MOT, i thought without regular heat from the engine and damp conditions from being left laying about for a year they become non-reusable?

not sure to be honest, but they do self clean, a good blast up the motorway and get some heat into it should do the trick.
