I guess it depends what you're after ? Looks or performance for e.g. There are a lot of threads on exhausts on the forum, you could also speak to Jamie as ge can supply and fit them

Depends on how long you intend to keep your car. Wont get much performance on a bigger pipe, its the catalytic converter change that gives the performance
Change the Cat and you certainly feel the difference
But a stainless steel exhaust will outlive the car ie- no new exhaust needed now and again
A back box would be for the sound

im looking to keep the car for at least 3-4 years before i look at changing the model i rekon. its more for cosmetic rather thangaining extra performance but i was thinking about having it remapped as well so i spose if this is the case going for a full system would make sense

I replaced the exhaust on my DStyle with one with twin tailpipes from a Dsport, looks much better and gives it a slight growl.

Yes the DS THP does have a nice rumble.

Anyone else found the rubber exhaust hangers to be a pain in the a*se? Or just me .....

I nipped into Kwik fit who charged me a fiver to readjust the tension settings on my Non standard exhaust, and they only charged me a fiver (After me promising to buy tyres at a later stage etc etc). It was making a few creaking noises and just needed adjusting. Theyre the experts

[lfcrule1972]

Kwik fit and experts ?? Isn't that an oxymoron ? Maybe it's just my experience of Kwik Fits.....

[mjholde]

Haha okay. Confirmed my suspicions

[Chris_Blue]

Have got to say Ive found them courteous and helpful. Visited about 3 different sites over last 6 months
Even left positive feedback and got a nice letter from Kwikfit Head Office
Theyre sometimes a bit pricier than web sites but are a big organisation, and personally I prefer that if poss
