Exhaust
-
Cheers for all the help guys, I'm definitely gonna go to that place in Worcester, I think I can probably stretch to £200 too :D
Was yours £200 including VAT hypnoticstoat? I called up and he said it would be between 2 and 3 hundred + VAT for a '97 MX3, but I didn't give anymore details, so it was just a ballpark figure…
I am not sure on what tip to get yet... I quite like the look of most of them! Any recommendations? I want a gutsy sounding one, but I don't want one with a proper bass drone that means I can't hear my tunes in the car!
-
Yeah mine was the entire system cat back for £200 inc VAT. They might just be giving you ballpark figures off the top of their heads. Take the car to them and get a proper quote. Let me know how you go on, I think you'll agree in the end that it was money well spent if you go ahead with it :D
-
What exactly do I tell them I want to get the same system you got fitted?
Cheers!
-
I just said I wanted a "full stainless steel cat back system with twin tips on the backbox that will sound meaty". They showed me some tips, I chose one I liked and they got to bending and welding pipes. Good luck :)
-
Wicked, cheers man. I think I'll head over there tomorrow and say something similar to that!
I'll post the results on here when I get back!!

I called A44 today and it was the same guy i spoke to yesterday, but he was being a bit of a cock. He said they wouldnt be able to fit it for as little as 200 and he couldnt give me a price at all… He said I'd have to drive there so they can look at my car first, then they'll arrange a fitting in a weeks time. Thing is, its about 1hr20 to get to Worcester for me and that means massive petrol costs for driving there twice and a big risk of getting stopped without and MOT :x
I called up the Newport branch instead and the guy was a bit more friendly there, said he can do it for £270 and he can do it tomorrow, they don't have to look at it then book me in a week later... which is good! Its a lot of money though, £270 is gonna empty my account!
-
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience so far. When I had mine done I just rolled up and said "i want a exhaust" guess I caught a quiet day. £270 might sound a lot but remember that for your money your getting a custom made exhaust that will sound the bollocks and last the lifetime of the car. and any way don't you students get another loan cheque booster around this time of year :P :D
-
Yeah, thats true, I think you def got lucky at A44, I would have have to of waited at least a week or 2, he said they have people comin from all over the UK…
Anyway, the place in newport "Welsh Coast Customs" sounded ok, so fingers crossed they will do a good job! I'll put photos up tomorrow night.
-
dude when you going to newport, might pop down and have a look at what they got to offer at same time. could be a chance to meet up with another peroson off here. i live bout 20 mins away. (normail speed) will be after a life time exhaust also but would love to see how much a manifold full system would cost.
-
That'd be wicked mate, but not sure whether I'm goin anymore, cos i found out my engines a bit fucked today :(
I'm leaving at 11 tomorrow if i do go, so I'll post up on here v.early if im going or not.
-
Whats up with the engine?
-
Check the spark plugs topic, its not good :(
-
i might go to powerflow the weekend and see what they say. i prefer the jap cut ones, but will see what sort of stuff they can do me when i go there.
-
Its back on for tomorrow Valley, think my mx3 should be ok…
I'm arriving at welsh coast customs at 12.
-
well im booked in for fully custom stainless this tuesday coming, woot woot
-
tidy will post up tomorrow morning if im up early enough as just popping down in to cardiff to see if can find the cruse. last time got lost down barry way. and mate got followed by police.
if cant make it good luck
-
Valley mate, I think I saw your MX-3 today??!
On my way out of WCC I saw an mx3 with nice wheels and a smashed in light on the one side. I stopped for a little while, but noone was around…
Very pleased with my new exhaust, looks and sounds like the dogs danglees!
I'll post a video up on youtube as soon as I can. They took quite a while, but the guy did a good job I think. It was £290, so it better be!
-
nope sorry mate, was ment to come down. but as left house with new music for car. went to unlock and my car thought nope. flat battery day….
toad alarm system went nuts ass. and had to spend 30 mins de-attaching the alarm box so i could either jump start it from another car or bump start. went for latter as no family car was around.was quite pissed as managed to get around newport just after 2. not happy.
anyway. will add a messenger addy in so can have a chat some time (everyone) ps what was the dammage on the student account as i get my load sat hehe!!!!!!!!!!
-
Its a good job I didnt have my car when I was a student otherwise I would have had no money left from my loan within a few days of getting it :D
-
Thats a shame valley…I wonder who's MX3 it was, looked quite nice...
I've posted a vid up on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9vmZ_3u5P4Its upside down, but the sound is more important than the movie!
I don't have a student loan this year, as I'm retaking final year, sucks!
