Hi,My exhaust system is completely rotten and need replacing. i currently have a scorpion backbox and supersprint middlebox, but it is too loud for me, so i'm looking for one quiet system, i think the Jetex system is best suited to what I want (non original). My engine are completely original, do i have any advantage in a aftermarket system? or the original is the best? Thanks, Ricardo Martins |

I'd go aftermarket and stainless steel as it will last forever and sound and perform much better.________________________________________ Rallye build: 11 November 1998 - a WednesdayTeam rallye,built for track ----Click this if you like rallyes Rallye dead  Secret Team Astor... |

Jetex have a lifetime guarantee, and probably are a similar price to a genuine standard. Then again, a genuine one should last 10 years________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

Speak to miles about a mild steel one, I also dislike the Jetex tailpipe.________________________________________ cress87 wrote: I'm stopped for speeding on a daily basis but now the police are aware that I live for the 306 they dare not interfere, just sit in their cars quaking as I drive past. |
