need a new exhaust,fast
old one is knocking,rusting,moaning and generaly being disagreable
not really sure what to get
want cat back system
I like Remus but cant find where to get one from
Supersprint maybe or Magnex also look good
what do you guys have and are they loud?
Want a really good fit so if you have one that didn't fit properly then tell me also
thanks
you cant go wrong with a sebring jobbie... they've jus got an air of quality about them ! mine fits sweetly! jus had to make an extra join in the rear pipe and a new powerflex bush to get it fittin' snugly to the bumper...
cost £150 for the back box and the squared version looks different to the usual big bore :o
also the section from cat back minus the extra silencer (vvrooom!!) costs from 'bout £60...
jus my humble opinion ;)

pukka,
where did you get your Sebring from
I cant find any info on the model range apart from in Halfords (excuse the language) and don't want to go there
what do you mean minus the extra silencer?
is it a cat back system without a center silencer then?
Is that not really ****in' loud?
What tailpipe options are there for the beezer?
Powerflow is an option but I've heard they can **** things up ocasionaly and give you a system that is too loud for instance
i got mine from halfords because i've got a handy contact there.... if the store near you has a ripspeed dept. then they should have the suppliers catalogue (motorsport wheels i think) which lists every single application with a picture too!
from what i remember they offer the obligatory single round pipe, a squared tailpipe(my choice), and a twin round design...
i was looking at 1.4 applications so i'm sure they'll be a bit more choice if it's a gti or cupra version you're after...
the centre section is next on my list... the back box gives a nice burbling at idle tho and sounds beefy climbing the revs!!
i wouldn't recommend powerflow unless its an outrageous design you're after as their boxes aren't proven and you could end up with something sounding like a monster but a drop in back pressure and power....

Just blew back from Lands End in my 97 Beeza cupra sport .
Remus twin square back box fitted with cat back centre box from Milltek. I think the Remus is really a golf fitment & they dont seem to do a "proper" Beeza xorst. Mine knocks/rubs/squeaks when carrying any load or rear passengers.
Sounds nice & sporty but gets very boomy & resonates from 2.8K to 4K ie 65 - 90. So cant really recommend it on a beefa. Especially on a long cruise like today :(
I have got a Cat Back Powerflow system on and I have had no problems at all and its nice and shiny lol!
Mr Hatred ....... Will we be seeing you at a North London /Herts Meet?

Nice of you to offer, CupraSi.
Dumb question, where can I find meet details?
Had a quick look but your site is under construction.
:o
Utter Hatred .............. All the local meets are in the Meets Section under Southern Meets.
We have a North London/Herts Meet normally on the first Monday of each month and the venue is rotated around the members.
I am still organising some events on here and our site will be up on Monday (Hopefully) You can see some of it at ****************************/main.htm scuse the spelling mistakes as we have not officially put the site up yet ;)
Cheers
