i had an ashley full system wiv std vaux manifold on my 1.4sri before i put valve lump in, not to loud fella gives nice sound n i think cos its mild steel not stainless actually sounds better. my mate got it on his 1.2 on twin 40s n sounds amazing on that too.

ive got a 1.2spi on a standard manifold , with a custom de-cat pipe , it used to 'just' have a 'piper' backbox on , which was loud'ish , i then bought a 'ashley' downpipe , my car then turned into a 'touring car' , the noise was feckin awesome , in my experience 'ashley' exhausts are loud as feck !!!
just how i like them :thumb:

i put some springs on it this week they were surpose to be 30mm its only dropped about 15mm *shrugs shoulders*

[Jim Mcrae]

did you buy them second hand then im guessing?

[Nova_Houch7]

Anyone know where you can have your decibels measured for the exhaust!

Also if they found it to be too high, can they actually do anything ?

[Nova_Houch7]

Currently got a custom made straight through performance exhaust made by infinity-from the down pipe. Looking to get a 4-2-1 manifold too.

bought them from a chorley boy, gaskells mate?lol they were only a fiver so i wasnt expecting much getting new springs and shocks next month so not too worried

[coochiSR]

mmmmmmmm well from what people have said its well to loud for me:( so looks like a custom one for more money :(what about sportex, i heard they fit like crap, but what about the sound?? this is for my 1.4SR with 4-1 Manifold
Dan

[Adam]

[mini_kris]

[coochiSR]

Dan

[Timmy]

i magine to pick up a magnex for ~?80 fitted it look and sound cool will post pic soon

[chimp007_uk]

the only problem that i know of with ashley exhausts is that they can drop... my housemates xr2 is fitted with one and he had it welded to stop it.

finally got my gte tuned with the group a exhaust on... :D :thumb: pulls so much better. had a stainless steel mongoose exhaust before and janspeed 4 into 1 manifold and that was noticeably better than standard and i thought that was good. before with the mongoose it would fizzle out around 5500, now it pulls to 7k and doesnt loose any power. as defiantely free'd up the engine.

i know it's not stainless steel so it will rust, but so will ashley, and this was ?100 cheaper ;)

[Matt2107]

If your planning on keeping your car for a long time I'd spend the extra money on a mongoose.

I've recently put one on my GTE and was well impressed with the fit. PLus you've got the added bonus that being stainless steel it wont rust. I cant tell you how it sounds though as I've still got to fit the rad. I've also got the sportex 4-1 manifold.
