If Carlsberg made Exhaust companies.......(Longlife)

[Carl Avant]

Here you go....

I had mine done at longlife carshalton. Full 3'' system with bypass pipes and all for 480 that was part of a group buy so i was well chuffed.
@jub Carshalton is probably your nearest one and i can personally reccomend them.

Likewise , longlife carshalton did a awesome job on my 3'' system

Shirish. If you end up having a catback I may have to come and have a listen.....

Stevie, Probably Carshalton would be my nearest, Battersea is probably not that far behind though.

I went for the catback in the end, and the Quiet option.

Just got back, sounds very close to OEM, which is exactly what I wanted. A very very slight boom between 2000-2500 rpm, but was told that would disappear once it had coked up a bit.

£390 all in, including the tailpipe, same as Carl's 2-into-1

Happy chappy

Yep...I was told to give it several hundred miles for the sound to settle.
What tails did you go for ?
Nice price BTW
I don't see the point of going for "Off the shelf" when you can get this workmanship at this price.

[Shirish]

Same as yours Carl, i think... 2x 2.5"

Look substantial, but subtle at the same time. They're the right length too; pics i saw of the Milltek suggested they stuck out too far.

I found this when my Avant was MOT'd last year. The new MOT computer system states that the S2 doesn't need a cat test. I'm sure this will change at some point in the future though.

Ben

Can anybody confirm if this is correct and if it applies to all years of S2's Avant and Coupe's?

[pastures16]

think its up to mid 1996 coupe and avant jamo

[Fat Audi 80]

I get shafted at my MOT place. The tester is a great guy and did his best to get mine through, but it would not get the CO2 low enough without the cats on. (That was this Jan with the computerised system....

Cheers.

Steve.

I can recommend Longlife in both Cardiff and Carshalton - had the original cat back system made there which was only the 2nd S2 they'd ever worked on. They made the original system slightly too small diameter which was picked up by Dialynx - I phoned them and was told to take it to Carshalton for it to be removed and an entire new system made and re-fitted without charge (or quibble....top customer service!!!)

I have the same 2 x 2.5inch setup from cat back with a single box and am 4 days the wrong side of a cat test - however if you're saying they dont need one now then off come the cats and the Y pipe is for the bin!!!!!!!!!! Mal @ cardiff said this was the single biggest restiction on the entire system as the two pipe which brach for the cats are crimped which is crap.

[pixsaudisex2]

on the pics of your exshaust you have got one tail pipe out the back going into two does this seem to make a funny noise at all just wondering as if you listen to noise on my exshaust at

http://www.frankinfarter.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk

i always thought it could be my choice in tail pipe looks like yours that causes the noise does yours sound the same or not just wondering...

[s2driveruk]

anyone managed to substantiate the claim that the k plate and later S2's now do not require a cat test?

[pastures16]

mine didnt get tested in feb the system hasnt caught up yet
