Went through all this about 8 months ago as im sure many will remember ... especially those that were at Bexley's for the RR session.

Problem .. my exhaust stupidly load ... simple, not tuned either so prob not getting most from engine + want it remapped and can't expect someone to do it as by end of day won't have any hearing!! lol

Now problem is noone seems to make 91 'is' systems any more!!
What i have found is ...

Jetex make a cat back system for Ԛ£180
Supersprint make a half system for Ԛ£270
Sebring make a separate front/rear box that together is Ԛ£340

(All these are designed as cat back but i don't have one as the box that was there(just a box, sure wasn't cat) was cut out and custom exhaust welded to it)

Anyone had experience with any of these exhausts, asuming i can get hold of one i will order so your vast knoledge would be greatly apprieciated guys!!! Cheers

lol, just found distance ... 160 miles is quite some distance!!!

I already got a handmade exhaust, can't knock quality as its superb and the 'is' twisted exhaust is sufficient for what i need just want a designed and tested exhaust that will give better back pressure rather than a hit and miss custom one.

Ԛ£70 for a remap??
Sure thats the full jobbie as that seems rather cheap!!

Im looking at Ԛ£400 for mine with similar quotes from 3 places and they need car for the whole day with half a tank of fuel. Thats where the cost is in the time spent.

Come on guys surely someone must have experience with any of the above makes??

Is Jetex any good as is the cheapest ....

not a hit or miss he mesaures everything and he will want the car for two days.. if you want to go the whole hog with him you can spend upto 3000 pounds+ on 6 tbs and adjustabe mapping..

Think distance is the problem in this scenario ...

Arrggg ... all those exhausts above ^^ are single exit :(

The Mtect 2 really don't suit a single pipe, me don't thinks!!

Spose can always get the single chopped off and have a single>double welded on ... grrrr so much hastle but gotta be done as parents moan when i get in at 2-3am and make things vibrate with the

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

:cool:
