Just got back rom getting my longlife exhaust done and im very pleased with the results. Bypass pipes and 3'' system and the car goes so much better. My cats had fallen apart inside and parts of it had forced it way into the pipe. He siad it was causing huge restrictions. Anyway what do u think of the tail pipe? Cheers

P.S. My cats did exactly the same thing. Its amazing how much better the car goes with pieces of ceramic honeycomb up the exhaust pipe!

It does go so much better. I didnt think it would make that much of a difference to be honest. The blokes were great to, working til 9pm to get it done. Price mate was part of a group buy deal i paid 480 for the 3'' system with bypass pipes and choice of tail pipe. They do no what they are doing though.
@Ross and Jon post some pics of yours when u get back. Good luck3'' Longlife Exhaust, Koni Adjustables, H&R Springs, Full RS2 Setup with Mr Nugents RS2 Chips (just need the RS2 Airbox)Comment

How on earth did you get it done for £480??????????????Comment
-
Is that a really good deal then? The reason was because there were 5 of us getting it done so they gave us 15% off and a choice of tail pipe at no extra cost. How much have others paid?3'' Longlife Exhaust, Koni Adjustables, H&R Springs, Full RS2 Setup with Mr Nugents RS2 Chips (just need the RS2 Airbox)Comment

OK... got to work barely on time, KFC bucket in hand - ready to post
Well, had a good chill morning with Jon + Dave from Norwich. I'm sure they'll have a few things to say about their system... "it's nearly done!" c'mon Jon, how does it go? Glad to be rid of those cats??
Anyway. After a good run and a brimful of 99RON, what can I say - well done Longlife
Even though my wastegate is still external, and I am running a stock downpipe, and it's a little more 'boomy' than I hoped, they did what I asked: no comprimise on performance
There is a big stretch of 3" S/S from the downpipe to the rear axle, where it tapers down to fit through and then into the backbox + twin exit (same as Steve's, good choice mate ). Yes you got it, no centre box and the nasty Y-piece and bendy decat pipes section is gone...
Well, after about 40 miles of driving I've come to the conclusion that the biggest difference is smoothness! Power delivery seems smoother, definitely more go at low RPMs - good for off-turbo driving! Maybe it's just placebo but the turbo seems to spool a bit quicker; it's like there is a almost no lag on a "downchange + bury it". Can't comment on high RPM noise as it's drowned out by the WG... Power in the top gears seems about the same but alot smoother, especially flooring it in 5th @ 70 - and 1st + 2nd definitely improved response; on a quick get-away I can't change gear fast enough! Best way I can describe it, is it feels like riding a bike with a tailwind. Except alot faster

Good mate glad it went all to plan. Did u find it ok? How long did it take in all? Mine pulls a lot better in the lower gears it also pulls a bit better than in the higher gears. I take it u went for twin oval tail pipes then?3'' Longlife Exhaust, Koni Adjustables, H&R Springs, Full RS2 Setup with Mr Nugents RS2 Chips (just need the RS2 Airbox)Comment

Yeah it was an easy find... multimap always helpsOriginally posted by stevieyid
Took about 6 hours for the job; That was for the straight "downpipe-back" system the guys figured would be best; the underside looks really bare with hollow bits where lots of metal used to be.. must've lost alot of weight in that visit too!! If i ditched the AC I bet itd be less thatn 1400kg - eat that, ABY boys
Twin oval tailpipes it was btw... and yeah, I get the biggest difference in lower gears, which surprised me. I expected any difference to be noticeable in high gears + high RPMs but it's quite the opposite. That with my cleaned up MAF 7 ISV, and the car is actually a really good town driver now!! Reset my MPG which has been 20.5-22 the last several fillups and currently, 60 miles in, she's on 25.2
