exhaust dilemma


LRF4N

Recommended Posts

iv got a hole in my exhaust where the flange is broken, very noisy but actually sounds good lol (ask jay and adam) but a bit too loud so it needs fixed. spoke to the chap who jay recommended and another guy also recommended. hes given me 3 options

 

-£40 to fix the problem

 

-£100 to fix the problem and fit custom pipes (look the part)

 

- or £300 for all of the above and an aftermarket backbox

 

:wacko::wacko: iv said for a while im gonna stop spending more money on the car esp if its not needed and the car already sounds awesome as it is with the induction kit. and iv always preferred engine noise to exhaust noise. so i was thinkin option 2 but i really dont know. i know most ppl are gonna say for for option 3 lol but can i justify payin another 300 quid just for the sake of modifying it more? help lol

for me i try and only modify parts as they need replacing, or if i'm going to keep the OEM parts for when i sell up so i can return to stock (did my exhaust earlier while it was still new), hence i haven't done the brakes yet, or tyres. personally i would go with option 3, it should mean trouble free motroing vrom that part for the rest of ownership as SS exhausts tend to last a very long time.

 

but occassionally in life you go for cost effective. if your happy with the car and just want it fixed go with option 1.

Sound advice. I personally would go for option 3 as like said above it will last a lot longer and possibly mean less costs in the future. Only you can decide at the end of the day though. :p

if option 1 is out because its boring might as well delete it now.

 

and if you want option 2 because option 1 is boring i'm fairly certain that you'll get bored and end up doing option 3 further down the line because you'll want more sound.

 

if thats the case you might as well go straight to option 3 and tune it and style it to how you like.

lol i need a better reason than that stew- if someone gives me one good reason to persuade me to get a custom exhaust il do it, but it has to be better than "it makes sense" lol

Come on irfan, you have changed most things on the exterior of your car, so wats the point of it looking good, yet the exhaust letting it down, you have spent a good amount on your car to get it to look the way it is, so dont scrimp on the zorst. Just do it. Its like a good looking girl wats the point of her looking gorgeous when she is rubbish in bed.....................

NONE

 

 

SO just bite the bullet and get a sweet zorst :thumbs:

 

If you dont i WILL slap you :lol:

fish slap lol good one and lamby dont agree with jay that was a crap analogy! lol

 

wel nobody came up with an actual reason to get a custom exhaust, rich was the only one who tried... so u would think that means its option 2... but... BUT... lucky for u guys today i was in an underground car park with a very low roof... and i was in 2nd gear with this rumbly exhaust... so option 3 it is! custom exhaust here we come!

 

already chosen the pipes but should i go for 2 single boxes or one box? for looks i think one stainless steel exhaust would go well with the spats.

we didnt need to come up with a good reason you have came up with the best reason to get option 3 all by yourself

 

but i still stand by my statement that Jay came up with a good analogy :thumbs:

 

the best reason to get an exhaust is for the sound if you like a nice sounding car get an exhaust :D

 

i am pleased your getting option 3 cause you have a lovely looking zed and no exhaust was making a great car only good it was holding it back. so really the only way forward was option 3.

 

now however i am aware that this reasoning is a bit late but still im sure it would have worked either way :) and it has because you are getting option 3 :yahoo:

lol i wanted option 3 but i said to myself a while back i was gonna stop spending more money on the car. i lookin for a good excuse from someone to kid myself that i would benefit from the exhaust apart from the noise. its good but prob not worth 300 quid- oh well... u only live once lol. il use rich's excuse that it will last longer. let the modding continue!
