hey just bought me a 6 branch for my tech1 325 sport, need to find the rest of the exhaust, not a fan of the scorpion stuff, loooking for something a little less lairy.

Sebring was my first choice, but it seems there has not been much success getting one under a tech1 valence... anyone had any joy?

I'll jump on the list for the zone shop Larini system but that could be months away

Eisermann??

Just want centre and back section, twin exit, straight out the back

here's the stock system... same thing in SS is what I need.

Any suggetions

to be honest the standard system is as good as anything, the manifold is the weak point and you have changed that. stick to standard and get a nice set of chrome tips put on properly (i.e welded on) and will look good.

i have a standard front/ scorpion middle and powerflow rear on mine

gotta say as above ya cant really beat a standard system

powerflow rear seems good quality and sounds really nice and mettalic when floored
but the centre section was crap and rotted away so im gonna go standard fr/middle and stick with the powerflow rear

green - i had a 6 branch with a mongoose system and when i sold the mongoose and fitted the oem exhaust i noticed NO power difference at all at any revs... also the standard exhaust sounds very very nice with a 6 branch, ur welcome to pop down for a listen sometime.
