Scort_CVH Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I sold my last two magnex systems for £40 and £50 can pick up a full escort for £200 so I wouldn't pay £100 for just the exhaust lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-Serenade Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 If you get another free one let me know. Like I said I quite like idea of just having the back box and just a pipe in the centre but is it legal MOT wise? Understand what your saying but I wouldn't want to be stuck with another car just for the sake of an exhaust. Its like the cosworyh wheels, they go for silly money compared to a car but what can you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil-Serenade Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 I quite like e idea of just the back box and a long pipe going to the cat, would have thought that would have been cheaper too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 in that case dude ur better off going down to ur local powerflow dealer or something and getting one made up custom not as expensive as you would think, i was quoted just under £200 for a single box stainless cat back......oh and get a decat made while ur their Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 vid of supersports mk5 with protech and scorpion fittedhttp://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j432/scottybo1/th_20131213_230522_zpscdf6fe14.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-Serenade Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Not a bad sound. Think I would prefer more of a deeper tone than a burble but if I could get one cheap than I guess it don't matter. So was that exhaust a mixture of a Protech and Scorpion? The exhaust catching on the kerb sounds familiar though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil-Serenade Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) Morning guys. I've decided I'm going to go for a stainless steel tube in lieu of the middle box so I'm just wondering if anybody knows of anyone who could make one up for me cheap because the actual price of the tubing isn't expensive. Once again any help would be much appreciated. Cheers again. PS sorry to sound thick but what's the decat?

PS sorry to sound thick but what's the decat? piece if pipe that goes where the evil power sapping catalytic converter used to be.......they also make the car sound better just get on ebay n get a second hand stainless system, bending pipes is easier said than done, welding stainless is difficult at home as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil-Serenade Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Fair enough. I havent got the tools to keep doing that every year, just leave it as it is. Would have thought you would use more fuel that way though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
