Standard 172 Cup Exhaust



  172 CUP / MG4 XPOWER
My standard exhaust gave up the ghost so replaced it with a Longlife stainless steel cat back system, I wanted it to be as close to the standard noise as possible, anyway the Longlife exhaust is far too loud at idle and is deafening when it hits 4k then quietens down after. I took it back and they said "there isn't much else they can do, there isn't much room to do anything as they have put two resonators in with 4 packs of e-glass" hopefully that means something to someone as it really ruins the driving experience with it as loud as it is.

Have I been fobbed off? Is there a company that makes a good quality copy of the standard exhaust? The only other exhausts I have seen such as the K-Tec system all advertise it as a sportier sounding system, What options do I have?

I've got this with twin silencers.

Having owned the original exhaust and a Hoffman (Ebay special) The Piper is similar at idle, maybe a little louder, over 4k revs gives a nice exhaust note (not raspy) and isn't boomy.

Hoffmann Exhaust

Hoffmann Backbox

I've been through 2 Hoffmann exhausts - they sit stealth and exactly where the original one fits - they won't last long and eventually rust / snap and then it's not fun - been there done that. I believe the GT exhausts might be the same quality.

Thats why I went stainless with the Piper.
