Exhaust System

[wisewood]

I am looking for a good performance exhaust system... am after some recomendations, prices and maybe some companies to buy from in store or online.

Any help appreciated.

[Bilbo ballbaggins]

think theres a company called Magnet or Magnex or something like that. Supost to be gud

[wisewood]

yes mate i know all the brand names, i just want to hear from people who have a full stainless system that they are happy with, want to know what they think of it, what it cost and where from.

www.motorsportdirect.co.uk

There system is for the 1.2+1.3 and also 1.6, very good value for money, I belive Ste has one and we have one fitted to the rally car....

[wisewood]

:D anymore for anymore?

[jkhilton]

I had the full stainless Magnex exhaust and manifold, they sounded good and the fit was spot on.
The price in total was around ?350(from memory, it was about 2.5 years ago!!! lol)

I used to run a Mongoose and I have to say that it was the best exhaust I've ever laid my sweaty little paws on.

I've got a full magnex system, i didnt like the tailpipe so changed it for a 4" powerflow one, but it sounds excellent, not too loud, but your still heard coming. Fits perfect, but the handbrake cable touches it and rattles sometimes.

[wisewood]

[krobinson]

There was 3 brand new magnex systems on ebay last week.. all 3 went for around ?65.. a far cry from ?270 in the shops!

[Alex]

cambridge always rated ashley

[dave.gsi]

ive had no major probems from my full sportex. rattles a bit on the back axle but most will when the car is lowered.

only about ?120 from what i can remember.

[Adam Moran]

Ive also got a full Ashley system with a 3inch tail. Raspy and not too loud. Quite on the motorway (well it was before i stripped the car out :lol: )

I've been told there Grp N because there made for rally cars, don't know how true that is though.

When i brought mine i went up and saw there factory in Walsall, met the owner and the son. Have to say, they really new there stuff, mind u, it's what you expect when they have been making rally exhausts for 25+ years.

fit a peco big bore 4 *snigger*

ive got a magnex system on mine and it wasnt loud enough 4 me
so i had the front silencer removed and then the back box in favour of straight through then a pipe put at the t'other side mine sound spot on just how i wanted it
if ur after a custom tho isnt ther that company called astek or summat like that in sheffield ive heard nothing but good comments about them
all the rev's staff used 2 use em and fast car

[peester]

im gonna try jetex. from work (halfords) a full aluminised (spelling) steel system from the manifold (downpipe included, ) to a single oval be ?250 ish quid. but then i'll get 15% discount. :D looks a pretty straight system.
btw; my gsi is a 1993 non-cat model. if youve got a cat andy visit www.jetex.co.uk look under aluminised systems and click youre aplication. shamone!

i have a scorpion stainless steel on my gte, it sounds lovely with a piper cross induction kit.

:D

[dave.gsi]

always liked the look of scopian. deffo be either that or a mongoose when i get some cash together :wink:

[wisewood]

Thanks people, been a big help.

one thing though... Non-Cat GSi... didnt know there were any non cat gsi's in 1993... ??

The gsi we got is a 1993 - so how can i tell if its supposed to have a cat?

[Adam Moran]

Might be wrong on this but........

I think it's the engine number:

E16SE = Non-Cat

C16SE = Cat

The number is in the right hand side of the engine just below the cam carrier.

Or just have a look under the car :wink:

if you have a cat bin it, i have on both my 1993 GSI's :P

[wisewood]

well someone at ATS told the missus the other day it aint got a cat on it, and that its a performance exhast on their already - but if its a performance exhaust i am the tooth fairy!! :lol: I reckon they just saw a woman walk in and figured she wouldnt know anything :lol:

There is a nut missing from a bracket thats holding hte exhaust on underneath so it rattles a bit, which is why she went to ATS and they told her she needs to replace the whole system :lol: and it'll cost her 200 quid for standard parts.

[Adam Moran]

What bolts that then? Don't think there are any bolts that "hold" the exhaust up, only rubber hangers.

Can you get any pics of the exhaust?

[wisewood]

all i have to go on is what she told me - aint looked myself yet, bit dark when i get up and too dark when i get home.

no matter about that anyway - we're having a new performance system asap anyway.

[Adam Moran]

So which one are you going for Andy?
