    Longlife (WOW what a great company)

    I have just got back from a 150 mile trip to Longlife at Battersea. I can't praise them highly enough they built a new system inc decat pipes so that i can slot the cats back in for the MOT. Sounds bloody great looks bloody great. If you are thinking of a new system you could do a lot worse than give them a call.

    PS. I don't work for longlife

        The cost was £570 inc two decat pipes and a very nice twin tail pipe. Sorry but I didn't take a camera with me. Any way I would not have a clue how to put photos on here!

        Jase.

            When I got mine done @ Longlife, it took pretty much all bloddy day! About 9 till 3 anyway. That was for a 3" system, DP-back. I guess it could be a bit quicker with a smaller bore, as it was a bit of a pain narrowing the pipe to 2.75 to clear the rear diff aparrently!

                sounds like if I want CAT pipes and back in standard bore then they could probably be done in a day

                    Haha, yeah I remember yours still being well under way when I left Jon! Still, well worth the wait I say.

                    I'm sure it could be done in a day... sounds like all the southern Longlife branches at least have some experience with the S2's now!

                        Guys.... I'm getting tempted with all this longlife talk. I was chatting to the Plymouth branch last week and they have quoted me £550 for a 2.5" downpipe back with cat bypass. They say for a bit more I can upgrade to 3" (is this much more benefical in terms of power gain or is it just gonna be noisier??)

                        The customer sevcie so far has been great and all the threads I read on here about longlife are full of praise.

                        I'm in the middle of a house move at the moment but as soon as I'm sorted with that then the car will be booked in!

                          Yep, all this praise is deserved. They spent all day (10 -6) fitting mine at Leeds (3", de-catted, single box) and did a b-e-a-utiful job. all for £500

                              I dropped my car off at about 10am and picked it up at about 9pm. Very pleased with the results and the price i paid for a 3'' system with bypass pipes was very good in my opinion.
