Mylee Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Picked my Zed up on Monday and thought I'd pop it up on a ramp today to have a check underneath it.... It's just a little bit like Swiss cheese hahaha.... So it looks like I'm in the market for a new cat back! Maybe a full system as I'm under it already! Just wondering what people recommend? I've had a look through the posts but there's a lot of choice and I'm new to the Zed scene haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Depends what you're after... What: Budget? Loudness? Raspiness? Personally I think the best thing to do is watch exhaust videos and pick ones you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Have a look through the dozens of threads below your one. I know you said you e been through them - but you'reasking what they already asked! Loads of different opinions to suit all budgets. Get to a meet to hear them in person. Failing that use YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irn Bru Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Guess it's all about your budget, anything from £300 ish to.......well whatever you want to spend. Toyosports is a good budget exhaust but the y pipe flexi's are sh!te, but rest of it is good quality, Invidia for the quality and sound, Japspeed K1 for brutal noise lol.

Mylee Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Thank you that's what I needed Irn Bru! It's all very well watching videos and listening to noises but I needed to know fitment problems, @*!# pipes, bad service or general advice on what people have found when they have been fitted! Thank you for your replies though, I'll look into deeper off of here, just thought it was a good place to start!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's all about taste at the end of the day.......and budget obviously, but I'm not one for spending mega on a mod that's only got a fraction of it on show, barr the Ark Grip system that is, but that's mega maccaroonies. The Toyosports exhaust came with the car, brand new, and not loud enough for me, so got the resonator deleted. ........ still not loud enough so decatted, but then my flexi went pop, so shelled out for a Stillen Y pipe, so now I'm running a full mongrel exhaust, Japspeed decats, stillen Y pipe and Toyosports exhaust, no fitment issues with all the different pieces and loud as............

Japspeed can be a very hit and miss in terms of fitment. Avoid the temptation of unbranded cheap eBay specials. Will cost you more in the long run 👠1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASemper Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I would recommend an ARK GRiP! The fitment on mine was super easy, it sounds great without being too loud with stock cats and also looks great! Not cheap though. I have a vid of mine with stocks cats and a vid with ART pipes fitted on Youtube if ya fancy looking. Good luck 😀 Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHEZZA Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Personally I'd avoid Japspeed, as I had fitment issues with my K2. I've now got a invidia Gemini and can highly recommend them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnorW06 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Motordyne TDX2 paired with ART pipes! Sounds absolutely awesome! One of the more expensive exhaust systems but the build quality and fitment is spot on, can't complain about it at all. As with most of the exhaust videos on YouTube they don't do it justice, you get a rough idea but the tone struggles to come across. The TDX2 sounds sweet on YouTube, but it's not a pinch of how deep it sounds in person. If you get the opportunity, have a listen to a couple in the flesh! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mylee Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Thank you for all the help guys I went for the K1 in the end as my friend got a good discount for me at Japspeed. I decided not to go straight into the top end of the budget as it's a daily and I've just bought some very costly tyres for it haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apoc124 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 i have the K1 with decats that i picked up from another member on here and it is disgustingly loud and obnoxious... and i wouldn't change it for the world! people can hear you comming from a mile away and you get all sorts of head turns, i had no issues with fitment like alot state but i would suggest if you get on with your neighbors to keep the cats on and the bungs in else you'll fall out with them very quickly with the system 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbours are so good with my motors actually haha they are used to our loud exhausts at stupid times in the morning! I am keeping the cats for the time being but I can't promise about the bungs hahaha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mylee Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Just a small update ( I don't really want to waste your time with a build thread for him but am too excited not to share!) I fitted the K1 today, and boy o boy!!! I am not disappointed! Japspeed have always been so hit and miss with the S Bodies, so I was dubious about buying from them. After the exhaust turned up three days later than promised, I was pleased with the fitment and lack of persuasion it needed to fit properly Also whilst I was there, I found a lovely little surprise! Anyway, in love with the sound! (No baffles as I like people to know Im arriving) so thank you for all the advice and help guys and girls it is much appreciated!
