Find out what spec exhaust will suit your application and get them to make it to that, thats what I did with my 205 and it worked out quite well.I'd imagine you'll need 2.25 or 2.5 pipe and the biggest rear box you can fit under there, and a decent lenggth centre box. keep the tailpipe the same size, or smaller in fact (as the gas speeds will have dropped by then and dont need such a large pipe) or you'll make it noisy and crap. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I've got a long life in 'mild sport'. Quality is pretty good, went back to have it set straight as it hung slightly wonky and they did it there and then no questions asked.It's quiet enough driving around town but unfortunately there's a boom under load at motorway speeds of 60 - 80. Quietens right down after that though  : |

I have a long life and it a nice pipe. When I ran their decat it sounded awesome. A nice little rasp and it popped quite nicely too. I now run it with the cat for legalness but it still sound great. Not too noisy unless your thrashing it. Fits okay but the mid section is a touch too big to tuck up totally. But would reccomend them. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

I had a custom 2.5 exhaust system to match my turbo down pipe made by Longlife's head R&D guy at Topgear in Bridport. They did a fantastic job, though I had a few sneaky mandrel bends put in. Only issue was the backbox was not made as a single straight through pipe which has held back the system a little, but it is very quiet which was my request. Book yourself in there for a good job.Realistically I wish I shelled out a few hundred more though on a fully mandrel bent system. Bore size and flow rates are as important as each other. ________________________________________ Turbocharged Honda Integra Type R DC2 |

Following praises who have had them, I opted for the customised system on my Golf mkI 1.8 campaign GTI back in '00 at their Croydon site in South London and was very happy with it. When I bought the Rallye in '06, I went for the full cat back 2.5" ultra quiet(my preference) system and got it done in Battersea (SW London) and I can't fault it since  ________________________________________ 306 RALLYE |

Since you've asked, had a look at my service history archives and found an address: Queenstown Road, SW8 3NP.Not sure if they're still located there. But worth checking it out. ________________________________________ 306 RALLYE |
