Janspeed Exhausts

[Daz.]

How do they compare with other brands systems?

It was on the car when I got it - curious as to see if it was better changing to something else.

I had a full janspeed exhaust and manifold on my xr2, and within a year it had nearly rusted away to nothing - was not happy

Really?! What ever happened to "lifetime warranties" eh?

Was thinking K-tec too but its going to be at least new year before anyhting happens with it - it works what more can I ask?!

Just out of curiosity Tom_16v which do you recommend? The one thing I like about the Janspeed is its fairly quiet idling and round towns - more of a "burble" if you will but enough to know it aint standard - But it sounds fantastic when your on full throttle.

Id like soemthing similar to replace it - I dont want a pop pop zing zing plastic carton sound!

And does a de-cat make that much of a difference? I feel a new topic coming on about this!

If you dont really want it too loud, best bet would be a K-Tec zorst and silenced de-cat. The de-cat is probably the best power per pound mod on the market!

used to have one on my astra gte few years ago it was the best ive had the sound is unique and subtle

Had one on a CRX and A MK2 16V golf, loved the subtle quality noise when not gunning it, and the quality deep bass when the 5000, 4000, respectively, revs kicked in. On over-run they are superb too. Rusted extremely quickly though, go for the S1.
