FAO 1200spi owners

[Adam]

Any of you got a performance backbox/exhaust system on yours?

If so, what do they sound like?

Any good, or a pathetic excuse for an exhaust like my old astra :wink:
:+:

Go for an Ashley system, good flow, but narrow enough to carry a good noise. The 13sr system is what you want and it wont sound pish either.

[Adam]

1300 system is no good for me, i need to keep my CAT.
A system would have to be CAT back.
So its either a backbox or nought, as theres no point buying a system for a 1200i.

[Aragorn]

basically if u keep the cat it WILL sound gay as fuck

if i were you i'd fit an SRi manifold and downpipe and get a sri cat and system from scrappy

for MOT simply fit the sri cat and system, after MOT replace it with a 1.6 GTE ashley system as it will fit streight onto the manifold

that way u keep the sri stuff in the garage nice n safe for next years mot

[Ste L]

that probably the best idea...

you could always get a de-cat made up and if you car fails on emisions then put the cat back on

[getlost29]

im sure ashly did a cat back system that would fit the spi. i know spotex do and they do a decat pipe. they sound pretty good to

[Aragorn]

that would be the other option, to find a manufacturer that did an SRi catback system

you'd still need an SRi cat tho and you'd need to buy or make a decat pipe

Yeah, so its SRI manifold and downpipe.

Then a choice of GTE ashley system which will got rid of the cat, and should sound nice.
Or SRi cat, with a cat back system to an SRI.

I spose it would be easy to get a SRI cat back system and a de-cat, and then just re-fit the cat for MOT.
But a catback system is a more expensive than a full GTE system :?

Both systems would probably sound almost the same.

Aragorn-Your bro has the 1600gte ashley system doesn't he, what does that sound like?

:+: cheers for replies

[Aragorn]

aye it sounds pretty good mate

most SPi engines make a horrid deep boarrrp noise (most commonly haerd in your local cruise site coming from corsas and the like) but craigs doesnt sound like that at all

i would say the GTE cam helps with the noise too tho

[Matt Nova]

i had a 1.3 system on my old 1.2i and it sounded nice i took out the CAT aswell passed MOT like that
