Ive got a quote for a stainless steel system from Longlife of Leeds for my 320i it came in at Ԛ£369 fitted+ a little for different tailpipes...anyone got any experience of longlife products? its a toss up between this and a Scorpion?

I had a Scorpion half system on my 325i, center box started to rattle and sound crap, so I had Longlife cut out the center box and fit 2 s/s tubes in its place. Its got real growel now, without making you want to get out of the car which is nice :) and almost no different on tickover.

As for Longlife themselves I found they were great. Cost me Ԛ£50 and I got tea/coffee and got to watch Jc videos while they were doing it :D

Will use them again to do the 328i exhaust for sure!

Ive got a longlife on mine, pretty good service, not cheap though!
The quality is good, but i wasnt that impressed with the fit because mine rattled on the rear bumper (they had to cut the bumper to allow two pipes to exit) fixed now though

They use a much better grade of stainless than powerflow etc, which ive seen corrode in a few years! plus you get the guarantee
