Stainless Exhaust System

[katmav 0]

My standard back box has decided to blow a 3" gash, so I'm looking to replace it. Any sugestions on whats best suited for my 205 MI16?

Might be a bit far but there's a couple i have for sale in my white 205 breaking thread!

Magnex is always well recommended.

Sorry to hijack but I'm hoping this is relevant, does anyone have any experience of Longlife stainless exhausts?

got two, no complaints at all with the service or product, one is a system that I specified the pipe bore and tailpipe style that's on my 205, the other is a second hand system from a 1.9 MI16 modified to fit a 2.0, lifetime warranty transferred to myself for free as I got them to mod and fit said system.

 

Both seem to work well, 405 is actually pretty quiet as it has very big boxes, both cars have RR'd pretty close to standard factory output with no other mods.

 

I had both from their Cardiff branch (HQ IIRC), have heard tales that some other branches were a bit hit and miss, they are franchises.

As above, hit and miss, depending which francise/person made it and what was specified.

 

The exhaust on my old 306 GTi-6 on 'bodies was a longlife item - words cannot describe how obnoxious it was frankly

Words can describe it actually, seeing as i used that car more than you

 

Anyway, over priced, tat, soul draining crap. It was horrifically loud. It never had a quiet spot. Although what with the car having bodies that needed mapping, it flammed rather well. Even the local police patrol car

Same old thing, WP got it spot on 'Franchises' so most tyre/general exhaust fitters know nothing about exhausts, None are dyno proven and the few I;ve seen on customer car's are far too loud, And I mean MOT fail loud.

I had a LL system on my GTi6. It was good. I did have a problem with it split on the centre box, I had lost the receipt for it but they still changed it box FOC as they could tell it was one of there’s. Again this was the Cardiff branch.

Thanks for the info. I'm after replacing the OE system on a standard 1.6 and thought LL might be a good choice for something that lasted and had a shiny, striaght exit tailpipe. I'd prob be using the Stockport branch as it's nearest to me so I suppose it's down to the quality of that branch.
