OMG! Outrageous exhaust fitting prices!

[Charlie]

I just rang up Predator Motorsport and they have quoted me £120 for fitting a 4" Rage exhaust! WTF!? How hard is it to fit one of these (I want to cut into the bumper)???? or anywhere else in herts/essex?

cheers

You sure thats not supply and fit?

 

[Charlie]

no....definately just to fit! thats why its shocking! he said, "oooh thats at least three hours work...120 quid!"

For something that basic you can take into Hi-q, kwif fit etc. They should have a board in reception for fitting costs, otherwise phone up.

However that zorst is universal isnt it? Which means it doesnt fit anything!

will kwik fit cut into bumper? universal means fits everything!

 

[RobFenn]

lol yeah thats it!

Take your bumper off and get a bodyshop to do it after the exhaust is fitted.

it takes a lot of fiddling to get a universal to fit! did u get the fittin kit wit it?

most will do it for £20 for exhuast fittin and i doubt the bodyshop will charge must for the bumper to get cut!

The gezzer at motorworld told me not to get the twin 5 inch universal one, especially on smaller engine cars, because it is not built for your car and can make you car perform crap. The 5 inch tailpipe makes you loose quite a lot of power, smaller tailpipes will perform better he said.

I know what he means though because when I had me standard zorst on the power was instant as soon as I put my foot down, now I have a crap peco powermaster which sounds nice except it defiantly has made me car a bit slower, when I put my foot down it doesn’t seem to respond as quickly as it used to.

good thing is i aint bought it yet...doing my research first. im either gonna get a stainless bb4 or a powerflow - only 20 quid in it so im not sure what to get...
or i could just stick to the original idea of a rage but i just rang xtreme in harlow and they said 70 quid to fit.

the tail design has f**k all to do with the performance of the system. be it 1 inch or 12 inch.

its the bore of the pipe and muffler that is gona be yay or nay.

on n/a cars - lets say a valver - u cant got anymore than 2 1/2 inch on bore size.

better to keep it at about 2 1/4 as standard size is.

the universal mufflers will fit anything.......they usually come with a chop of point just after the muffler so u can fit a 2 1/2 or 2 1/4.

just make sure u go no bigger than 2 1/2 on n/a.

btw, powerflow/longlife/tiger/ascar all should be able to make up the rest of ur system after uve got ur muffler sorted.
