Andy Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Go for an aftermarket system. CS does the Scorpion system for a lot more respectable money. (He is a trader on here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MITZ@CougarStore Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 As per the posts above, the Scorpion is a popular choice if moving away from the OEM exhaust... If you need more info please feel free to send me a PM, happy to help/advise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 HNK Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 or just stick with the oem and get one off here for pennies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 to the forum I am sure someone will have an oem exhuast here - well probably all the modders who put a K1 on ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Welcome along, As has been said, the best exhaust route looks like CS for a scorpion or advertise (wanted section) for an OEM exhaust on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisdew Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 thanks for advice from everyone, i think i will stick with an oem & will advertise in wanted section. i am certainly no mechanic though so will have to go somewhere to have it fitted. i was pleasantly surprised when i logged on this morning to find 19 welcomes to the club i suppose i am a veteran driver! i have had mine nearly 5 years with 100,000 miles on it now so maybe i have been spotted by some of you in the past genearlly around yorks / lancs / derbyshire!! my only moan about the zed is the Bose Cd player - why do the cds keep jumping, i know it is related to the humidity cos if i take out the jumping cd & hold it over the warm air from the heater it cures it!...it is annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
