Stainless steel system

[Logie]

I had a stainless system and hated it  they are ok over a short distance but migrain inducing over a distance. Got rid of it and replaced with VW longlife system

Ehhh Longlife would of used Stainless Steel if they made a VW style system. Unless, they just fitted a VW System you bought from VW :p

  Down here in Cardiff we got a few places. Longlife, Pro-Speed and Z-Ex. All pretty good. You go in, tell them the car. They ask what style exit you want and how you want it to sound.

Had three cars all with Custom made stainless steel systems, all better then off the self. You can have the bore and style of the system design to what type of perfomance you want. Want Low-Mid Torque? Faster top end? Custom made is the way to go. Just tell them you dont want to sound like a cock in a 1.2 Corsa with a 9" Jap box!

My car on the RR with a 2" Stright through system. Gives some indication as to what a 1.4 sounds like

Got a Milltek front pipe to back (couldn't afford the manifold) on mine and its works just how i wanted it too. Good fitting and it only sounds loud if i put my foot down, cruising on motorway and i barely notice it, flooring it up a quiet road with walls and windows open and it sounds like a spitfire! (K&N may have a little to do with that) Either way soooo much better than the Peco DTM  on my last one!!

I got my new system from VW main dealer they have two options standard and longlife which is supposed to last longer

I get the feeling that longlife in "vag" terms means its a slightly harder wearing metal grade not a stainless system.

Oh lol thought you ment the company Longlife !

Heres the link again for my car on a RR http://homepage.ntlworld.com/james.logue1/rrpt2.wmv

btw, full systems from the Manifold back always cost me £250. And thats fitted etc so it does work as the same or slighty cheaper (Due to no delivery costs) then off the shelf Mongoose system for example!

cheers guys,

but I dnt know which one to buy now!!

I dnt really want to spend more than £400, and am not too bothered about fitting as i will get my mate to do it (handy having a mate as a mechanic!)

If you are going to get one done and are willing to spend that much, then make sure you see some of his previous work, I.E. turn up at the workshop during the week and have a look under the car he is doing.

When you finally decide book it in, and turn up and hour before he says it will be ready, as you will be able to see the welds and see him getting it in position, if you do not like it then do not be afraid to challenge him. After all its your hard earned pennies.

Yea definately, i am abit warey of going to one of these frachises in case they are shoddy, as i have heard mixed things about places like powerflow but each one is different isnt it!
