| Hi, at the moment ive got a jetex exhaust on my golf and it fits like crap, is there any exhaust places around here that would be able to help because i reckon im gonna need some new brackets making up and i dont have the tools or skill to make it fit right. Also i wanna replace my front box with a bit of pipe any reccomendations?
Thanks
Dan | |

| Tbh I'd say powerflow for fitment/custom applications. They make everything custom so obviously you get the fit and look perfect, I'm sure if you wernt happy they'd change it on the spot. Plus you get lifetime warrenty.
Although on the other side of the coin for a performance application their possibly at a dissadvantage, like you say on your rx7 it's sh1te, I'm sure a HKS, Greedy type thing would produce more power as they would have put quite a few hours research into getting the best results, but then you've already got a performance exhaust and just want it tweeking so i'd say poerflow lol.
If i go ahead with a vr6 conversion I'll be keeping the back two boxes on my magnex system and get them to make up a connecting pipe from the manifold to the boxes, simples. | |
