the pics they sent me







Seems the service is very good, but sounds a bit expensive to me, to say i could get a larini for less....also is it possible for a vx to sounds like an aston martin? lol

[JG]

what a load of BS.

caps, silly performance gains, silly noise comparisons etc etc


i think i'll use this again:

[slindborg]

thats a lot seeing as i had a quote for a FULL including manifold system from Simpsons for £1K lol

[jonnyboy]

Go down and see the guys in the shop if you have emailed the cetral franchise they will quote more. Still gonna be at least 400 quid I would have guessed

What a retard. Sound like a Vanquish...and + 14 hp for a cat back system...

[super fandango]

I can't comment on the sound or performance gains but having seen a Longlife exhaust and owning a full Milltek, I can say the Longlife is better put together than my Milltek. The welds & the finish appeared much better but that's only on the two exhausts I've seen. There's not a lot of technology in an exhaust, so bettering the performance of a Milltek may be difficult but if someone can produce a better finished unit for less bucks, then other options should be encouraged, so go for it Jamie!!

[Crimson_Killa]

There's not a lot of technology in an exhaust

Pardon

I think you will find getting an exhaust to perform well and produce a sound thats better than a wet fart takes more than just welding together some tubes and saying there you go thats good.

I contacted longlife and thats the standard clio/saxo response etc, im willing to guess £400 will get you a nice custom back box with the "loudness" you want, and that does take some "technology" to get right.

[Stevoraith]

I'd be worried about a company that can't spell 'catalyst' making an exhaust for you! And a 4 cylinder Ecotec will never sound like a V8! And presumably you're supposed to think that the first pic is a Ferrari 355 and not an MR2 with a bodykit? 600 bucks seems like a lot to me- get a Miltek or something else which is proven to work on the VX- then at least you know what you're getting.

[MrSimba]

Yep according to DVLA G77 VWD is a 1990 MR2

[ciderbooze]

second pic looks like a photochop and that spiel is just bollocks

[mandarinvx]

[attachment=17893:attachment] One way to get the tyres warmed up i spose

Dunno about that, there's some abyssmal speling one here quite frequentely.

[covert ops]

Thats the first thing I thought when I saw it. Crappy MR2
We have a yellow monstrosity that prowls the town centre at night trying to fool the "deeply" intoxicated

First impression from that advert did not full me with confidence.
I also believe it may well require a little more then cutting, chopping or welding the odd bit of drain pipe.
