Best Exhaust System

[GolfDan]

Guys and Gals

Im in the market for a new system what would you all recommend and how much should I look at paying

Thanks in advance

There's quite a lot of choice, try and go for a full stainless system, which will be everything except the downpipe from the manifold (which are mega expensive in stainless) and expect to pay around £300 - £350. There's quite a bit of choice, myself I got a Scorpion system with the twin DTM backpipes on, which I like. But different strokes for different folks I guess.

You'll be looking at a few extra bhp, more if you get a downpipe, and a much nicer sound, but be carefull cause some are freaking loud!

Powerflow
Miltek

are the 3 main players in the exhaust scene when it comes to stainless, only things to look out for are that the persons work is good, I.E> go and do a bit of research on each place before you commit, have a look at the welds and just try to get a look at a car whilst they are working on it. If they will not show you, do not go there.

All prices are going to be from about £300 and upwards.

i'd say milltek anyday, i like 'em so much i've been told i should be a spokesperson for them!

I have to second Miltek, very impressed with their quality, refined (as much as you get for a bigbore lol) sound, subtle look and easiness to fit. 

I think i paid just under £300 for a 3/4 stainless system direct from Miltek with the tail pipes i wanted.

Go Scorpion!! Build quality, sound, and looks 10/10!!
I hate Powerflow ever since they cocked up my mates custom exhaust on his Honda Prelude! Took em ages to get it to stop blowing! Even then they fitted it wonkey!

I have a powerflow back box on at the moment and although it does sound quite good it blows quite a bit where its attached to the original exhaust.
Im still undecided but the advice is helping

custom exhaust on his Honda Prelude! Took em ages to get it to stop blowing!

honda prelude's create a vast amount of back pressure due to thier high performance NA engine. Thier exhaust system is more complex than it 1st seems. unlike other cars just plug and play a back box. On the prelude the downpipe will die slowly and start blowing, as back pressure has been changed.
My brothers prelude needed much care n attention when he just welded a jap style on the back LOL it was soooo loud just a back box welded on with 2stock silencers!!

I have a complete powerflow exhaust, and i cannot fault it. It is coming up for its first annual check soon and all is well. But as with many places as powerflow are a franchise i would suggest you go and check the level of their work first, or if you know of someone nearby that has used them and reccommends them even better.
