sportex

[taxitucker1]

are sportx exhuast any good

[Ste L]

aint too bad from what i've heard, they are mild steel, if i can remember

had a sportex de-cat on mine, was ok, the fitment wasn't all that though

[taxitucker1]

?127 for full three inch system do that sound right

[Ste L]

yes, they are only mild steel, and are usually quiet cheap

stainless steel systems cost alot more usually around 260-300ish

[Mike.]

i've got a sportex back box on my car, there not that bad tbh

[Adam]

They are good for the money, but they fit s**t.
To fit mine i had to cut a half moon shape out my back bumper for the tail pipe to sit in.
And my middle silencer now taps on the transmission tunnel if i hit a big bump, as its pulled the exhaust system across slightly.

And yeah they are mild steel, so rot through in a couple of years.
But they are v.good for the price, ?127 for a full system, it would cost you more than that for a SS backbox.

[Ste L]

got my full stainless steel magnex system Brand new for ?80 8)

[Phsyco666]

are sportx exhuast any good

I had full system on my GTE it lasted 4 months n it was rotten n rattled like a beeeeaaatch. I had all my mates under my car to stop it tried loads of different rubbers but it was jus awful.

Id pay the extra n get a stainless if i was u they fit better sound better n usually add more power if only abit

[taxitucker1]

which system should i get then for best sound and value for money i have budget of ?300

[Ste L]

i rate magnex system's, but they have stopped making them now...

may find a cheap one on ebay, keep popping up now and again

[taxitucker1]

what about an ashley system

[-tucny-]

ashley exhausts are waaaaaaaay raspy almost jan speed sounding but from my experiance v good!

[Adam]

what about an ashley system
Ashley are good, full system for a GTE=?130.
They are pretty loud.

Again they are Mild steel so they will rust.
But they are great for the money, i would probably rate them higher than sportex.

[doni_nova12]

i have a full powerflow system, been on for 2yrs odd now, still sounds good an in good shape, no rattles or neding attention

[Phsyco666]

Full Piper stainless systems are unreal apparently, I had just the backbox and it sounded nice....

S/Steel System - 3 inch Inwardly Rolled = ?292.46

S/Steel System - 4 inch Slashcut = ?329.00 (jus ova budget)

They do loads of diff types heres the link mate!!!

cheers lads gonna have a think will let you know what i get

[Nova_Houch7]

Stick to Piper or Ashley mate, even tho i got a custom straight thru system, but otherwise i would have gone for one of the other 2 they aint a bad price too

[F188CHG]

I have had a few systems on my old sr but the best was the stainless steel scorpion system i never had any music on just listened to the exhaust it was a great sound then 1 of my pistion rings went ant it sounded like a impreza/rally car lol

[Jos]

how about a longlife exhaust? They will custom make it for you and fit it to your car.

They are top quality stainless steel, and definately won't rust :D

Although, I think their price starts at ?300 + backbox(s) of your choice, give them a call.

[Adam]

LongLife do rust ;)
Depending on what grade of steel they use.
I had a LongLife stainless steel backbox, and it was rusty.

You need to find a recommended longlife centre, that uses good grade stainless steel.

[Jos]

longlife use top end quality steel, and come with a guarantee that it will outlive your car.

[Adam]

longlife use top end quality steel, and come with a guarantee that it will outlive your car.
Yeah true, they have a life guarantee.
And as long as you go to a recommended by a mate centre, it should be fine :)

[Jos]

do you recommend a centre Long Live? :P

I'm planning on getting one of their systems fitted to my new SRi :D
