Longlife stainless steel exhausts - any good?

[BEERBOY123]

As above, the website looks good and there's a dealer close to me.

Are they good, any experiences or comments? Good value? What would be the approximate cost for a full 318is system?

Many thanks

prefer prospeed in cardiff myself

my mate payed £400 for a full system for his cupra and hes had to return 3 times :S

depends on the fitter/welder how good it is

full system from where the down pipes merge in to one, you'll be looking at £350. but it would be easier to call them and ask rather the me guessing

I got quoted £286 with a discount from a forum, so prob be about £300

If your near cheshire, try jp exhausts.

Really good company to deal with, and the quality of work I cant fault.

[BEERBOY123]

Thanks, unfortunately I'm not that near, but I'll bear it in mind.

A very daft question but could a new top drawer exhaust help a dodgy idle? I presume not but I'm a mechanical div.

Where about are you?

MIJ performance in Walsall, Torque flow in Birmingham and a few others do good custom exhausts to suit your requirements. Anything between £180-£300

[BEERBOY123]

Thanks, I'm Kent way.

BTW we obviously joined within days of each other, how the hell did you rack up so many posts and get three badges!

Must be a power-flow franchise somewhere close to you.

These guys are based in Ashford, but I couldn't guarantee their quality as I've never used them. May be looking for a new exhaust with them soon though...

My brother also used this company for his '02: http://www.torqueflow.co.uk/index.html

My brother drove up from Sussex and it was done the same day. Top quality job too with good quality stainless steel.

i just paid 400 for my exhast from longlife. To add to my btb3 manifold. i was missing the middle bracket when thay did it. I orderd one from the steelers took it back to them and thay fitted it for free. it gives of a good note and i got non standard tips throwen in for free

Not too sure where you are based but give Martyn Davies at infinity exhausts a bell, he used to work for longlife exhausts and then setup on his own. Knowns his stuff, good prices. Was featured in a bmw mag recently (total I think).

Thanks Jonesy, I'll do that, sounds good.

Thing about Longlife that appeals is the 'lifetime guarantee' and 'no quibbles'.

Anyone had them 'quibble' at them?

[Dominitry]

Highly reccomended, and not just biased because our team is sponsored by them

[BEERBOY123]

Nice!

So if I'm lucky I can toodle up tomorrow, and they'll whack a lush exhaust on while I wait (M42) and off I go 300/400 lighter?

That would be nice!

[Dominitry]

Yes, make sure you let them know what kind of noise you want, how loud etc, enjoy

[BEERBOY123]

Brill. I don't want a 'noise' as such other than the standard thrum. I'll tell them that.

Thanks all.

As FMH said above Torque Flow do very good exhausts his a good friend of mine and does really good s/s systems how ever you want at good prices i have had several systems done from him for e30,e28 and e24's and have all been to very high standard, much better than the powerflow crap. If your intrested drop me a pm and i will give you his details

[knightmare]

They do have a curtsy car if u ask in advance if you do not want to hang around. But as it was fiat panda at the Cardiff branch you may want to wait

Had a cat back system done on my E36 in march 2006 at their Leeds depot. Got a Citroen AX as courtesy car for the day( better than nothing). Sounds great , never had any trouble with it and it still looks good.
