[GarethM]

hey guys, am wanting a new exhaust on my 172 and was just wondering which one should i get?

1) Magnex 3.5" twin

2) K-tec twin

3) prospeed custom made

anybody got any opinions or advice as to which is better, performance and noise wise will be helpful

3, or the magnex as the k-tec will fall to bits.

i am leaning towards 3 but prospeed is 290 miles away!!!

Go for the prospeed - you wont regret it! Just put a secondhand one on my 182 which I bought from the forum, and it looks and sounds great. Also looks properly made - all the brackets are very solid and everything fits just right...

Might be worth looking whats in the for sale forums though - might save a bit of cash too..

 

[GarethM]

have just emailed charlie at prospeed will see wot his quote comes out as

 

[GarethM]

has anybody got a prospeed exhaust on a mk1 172?

 

[leeds_182]

None of the above.........

MONGOOSE.

 

[W3eeb]

go for Hidden option 4...

Hayward & Scott

 

[stu8v]

Magnex is good.

 

[GarethM]

hayward and scott are very expensive arent they? where they based?

leeds 182 - dont you have prospeed exhaust on your 182?

never fancied a mongoose zorst

 

[George16v]

Make sure it is good quality!!

Custom is definately better quality and obviously is made specifically for YOUR car!!

No mate - I broke the mould and got mine done somewhere else.

I had a Mongoose on my 172 and it sounded mint! Really deep and throaty but not overly intrusive.

I just think magnex zorsts sound a bit GAY.

Try hooking it up to a K Tec centre section like I have LOL.

Sounds grizzly!

 

[Michelle]

I had a magnex and had to go back every few weeks for it repositioning on the mounts. At least a custom is welded on and wont move.

 

[18Stu]

I am taking the plunge and going for a ProSpeed, cardiff is pretty close to here, and the travel is being expensed. 3.5" rolled in... I will try and remember to get some pics.

 

[danny1]

[GarethM]

strike - when are you going to get yours done at prospeed? wot clio do you have?

 

[Dink]

bloody hell there are loads of clios on his gallery (including mine)

 

[patty]

get a custom dude cus then u can have it exactly how u want!!

patty

 

[thedoc]

go for 3) and get it hidden... stealth ones take less cleaning!

 

[18Stu]

Am getting mine done on the 3rd Sept. On a 182.

 

[T-Unit]

If you have to go for a non-custom option go for Mongoose like someone said earlier. I work at Halfords (no Im not proud of it) and all the Mongoose pipes Ive seen are excellently finished and just feel like good quality items. Also, after having seen / heard most every other make of exhaust I picked up my Mongoose full system this evening. I know it was the right choice.

 

[GarethM]

strike - is that how long the wait is or is that the date that suits you best?

 

[cli0 172]

Spooky ..... am booked in for the 3rd also

 

[kiza1986]

If i was to go for a custom made zorst what would people suggest e.g 4", 5" no cat, no back box etc etc and what does hidden mean?

Thanks

 

[Remedi]

4" or 5" looks too big on a clio IMO.

A hidden system means the tailpipe can not be seen.

 

[kiza1986]

Hows that work then cos i assume if its hidden behind the bumper itll gradually melt the bumper? I like the look of george16vs zorst, what sort of zorst is that mate?

 

[rory182]

looking at prospeed gallery someones 182, the silencers are too visible for my liking, hayward and scott one looks better IMO - is there different shapes of silencer you can for so it doesnt sit lower than the bumper?!

 

[Clarkie172]

ive got a k tec on mine.tis fine rather loud tho as steve V6 will tell u. if u have the money tho get one made!!!!
