Jacamo97 Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 This will cause some debate I'm sure! I'm in the market for a stainless cat-back exhaust, however the only readily available one seems to be Scorpion which has the oval center pipe. However, I think the car looks much nicer with twin center pipes so this one really isn't on the cards. I've emailed Janspeed and they said they still sell one for the Lupo GTi, but seems like it'll have to be manufactured as a one off because they gave a 4 week lead time, they quoted £425 inc VAT and postage (plus fitting of about £40 at a garage). On the other hand, there is a custom exhaust place near where I am that would do the cat-back system for £400 all in, and this is much more customizable. Just looking for opinions really, see if anyone has a custom system or a Janspeed system and what they think of each! Any opinions are appreciated!

Skajme Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 I have a Janspeed and I love it. Not too loud for driving around normally, but gives a lovely growl when you floor it! The fact it was twin pipe was the main reason I got one aswell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacamo97 Posted October 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 I have seen a few youtube videos on the Janspeed exhaust, and they do sound great! Can i ask how much you paid for yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing wrong with the exhaust that's on there at the moment, its in really good nick as its been in Japan all its life. Just fancy an exhaust that sounds a little more sporty, what's the harm in that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 cool, I want it! I will buy it and fit the replacement for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattymdm Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Janspeed all the way. Plenty of videos so you know what its going to sound like. Personally don't like custom as you'll never know what it sounds like until you've paid and drove away. Tough to find a janspeed, I've been looking for 2 years. last one was £200 and snapped up in minutes with 4 others waiting for the sale to fall through!

Kam Racing Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 the Kam Racing / Grams one is available off the shelf with twin tailpipe exit ;-)> KR Exhaust was developed on mine alongside our manifold to get as much performance as possible from the exhaust system this was it with the centre silencer This is it without centre silencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacamo97 Posted October 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Could someone who has a Janspeed exhaust let me know if they have just the rear silencer or 2 like in the picture link below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Yeah I think mine looks like that, but I have the smaller tailpipe version which looks more OEM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo1.0se Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 4 weeks is better than oem. Try 4 months for a oem back box. Not stainless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just making sure that's standard, don't what an extra box if others don't, as they sound class from what I've heard. Wouldn't mind the tips being a tad bigget, fill the gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
