Sportex Exhausts?

[TAF14]

Has anybody fitted a Sportex exhaust to their 182? As per usual my centre section is rotting away. Funds are tight so any tips would be appreciated.

they're actually pretty good for a cheap make!

He's taking the piss ain't he

i dunno fred has a very dry sense of humour sometimes lol

 

[Fred@BTM]

no i'm being 100% serious for once! For a budget system it is good quality, very surprised when i saw one on a customers car, shocked it was under £300!

from memory it was mild steel, but you can't have everything, fitted better than some well known makes!

whats the sound like??

 

[Fred@BTM]

probably "about" 20-30% louder than stock, very quiet TBH

 

[gti6steve]

Well I never I thought they were a load of shite

 

[Fred@BTM]

oh it ain't no yozza, but its half the price and a very good option for a budget OE type replacement

They remind me of the Ashley exhausts of old. Proper boy racer things they were!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

^they're not though, as said previously, half decent cheap bit of kit!

 

[Kieran..]

twiztid on here has one on his 1.2, they look well made and they sound good but just a bit drone constant on long drives

Had plenty of Ashley systems, were great - had to fit them with a hammer mind, and being steel only lasted 20k or so, but they were cheap to buy so that wasn't an issue lol.

Made some great noises, infact my first Mk1 Hybrid had an Ashley system (I put 2 on that)
