looking for advice on new exhaust

Post by Ron » Fri Jan 12, 2007 2:56 pm

Hi all,

Not sure if this should go in the technical section but i was Just looking for an opinion on this exhaust i'm thinking about getting. It comes from a company called long life exhausts and will be considerably cheaper than most other options. I'm just looking for a bit of a growl to go with the hurricane, nothing major. I realise the 12bhp gain is probably nonsense.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... B:SCO:UK:1

Should i go for it?

Cheers

Ron

It's the best. No question.
Sounds great when you want it to and the overall product is awesome.
Jims great to deal with too.

Nope, not on commission. :D

Larini was the best (or at least most popular) choice for the K S2. They sound great with a hurricane.

In all honesty mate (and I know yu'll disregard this completely!) you would be far better off keeping the standard exhaust and doing some trackdays or driver training. After a while, you forget that the sound is more burbly etc than standard. In any event, the hurricane will prob have made the best difference you're likely to get; I hazard you may be disappointed.

Another option is to have the car de-catted. This will cost you £30 for the pipe, and will prob give you a similar 2-5HP gain (or actually, maybe not as you need back pressure with VVC) and a louder noise.

Best advice, find people with different zorsts and have a listen :) Mac's Janspeed does sound the plums :D
