I've had an exhaust sytem made by Tube Tourque. They are really nice lads. I think it's 'Mark' that runs the company, top bloke, very friendly, but...when me and a couple of lads got under my car to look at repositioning the exhaust it turns out that it wasn't as tidy a job as it could have been. My brother has also had an exhasut from Tube Torque, but that was for a 1970 Corvette Stingray and he was much happier with the system than I was.

I've only ever heard good things about JP, so I'd personnaly be tempted to get an exhasut from there just so I can actually compare the two companies.

I think the main difference is JP use fewer bits of pipe and try and bend the pipe round the chassis, whereas Tube Torque will cut bits of pipe and join/weld them round the chassis.

I was more than happy with my system from Tube Torque, the sound was great and it was nice to have a "custom made system", just a shame it wasnt as tidy as it could have been underneath.

JP are more expensive and usualy have a huge waiting list, but tube torque are ok aswell.

Strange, I never had a problem with the service, just the quality wasn't as good as I hoped.
