Hi guys,

I saw a few other threads discussing about that, but couldn't find anyone quoting prices...

Would you have any summary table of prices?

Cheers

You can also have a purpose built bespoke system made for similar, if not less money, than a SP system.

There are many choices, and different people with jump in with suggestions, normally based on where they've spent their money.

Main options:

Standard system - Still available?
ACT - Sports and stainless systems
Silverstone Performance - unique system designed by them, at a price.
Bespoke - you get what you pay for, spend as little or as much as you like.

You pay your money, you make your choice.

Seems to have little effect on the rollers.

Hi Tim

I have a very loud decat sports system, with short boxes near the rear.

Can you be any more specific with recomendations in the South East?

Hi Steve,

I used these guys: http://www.powerspeed.co.uk/index.html

Give them a ring.

Alternatively talk to Tim at ACT about the options. He knows his stuff and is very helpful

I went from ACT sports tails (two separate silencers near the tailpipes) with sports cats to the full SP system with linked de-cat and the difference is amazing. Used to be loud, in a lairy 'giant fart' kind of way. Now sounds much more refined, a bit more breathy/less strained and revs rise and fall quicker which makes for faster up-shifts (mostly due to decat). I can highly recommend the SP. It's not cheap but it's built to last, gives some power gain, sounds the nuts and looks the dogs smile That and the remap are the best money I've spent on my car.

If you're thinking of a custom system route then have a talk to Hayward & Scott (basildon in Essex). I have a bespoke system on my T350c and the quality is superb. I'm pretty sure they've done a system for a Cerb before as I think MrFreefall on here had one made up.

If it ever drys out, I'll get underneath and check my system for names, but it sounds (sorry) like it is an ACT system.
Car came from Walldonway near Maidstone and lived in Kent all its life until I got it in March. So makes sense it would be an ACT.

I do like the quality look of the SP system and the thought of a bit more subdued deeper exhaust note though.

Although my son loves it just the way it is!
