benmk1 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 HiJust a bit of advice my mrs lupo sport's exhaust is on the way out what's best to get, should I go straight to powerflow or other aftermarket jobbie?I also think that the catalytic converter's mounts are going, so do I get a cat from vw or aftermarket, or does anyone do a sport cat for them?Cheers allBen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VWR Lupo Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Hello and welcomeIm in the same situation as you mate, my ct mounts have broke off boy in just going to get the mounts welded back on, but as for the cat back there dont seem to be many companys out there who make exhausts for lupos, i wanted a miltek system but they dont do one as there is not much intrest style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> Im going for a powerflow system when i change mine, there a good price aswell style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Jen mentioned the other day that all the GTi exhuasts fit the 100bhp sport. I think there are quite a few for the GTi so might be worth a look for those before goin to powerflow to get a custom one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 (edited) Longlife are pretty good from what I've heard. Thats what most people go for on my car if their gunna go custom. Not sure what Powerflows are like, I know the one by me in brum has bit of a dodgy reputation, but I'm sure the others are better.I've also heard of Powerflow sometimes using pipes with too wide a diameter and actually decreasing engine power because of the loss in back pressure?

LoopyLing Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I believe Longlife are by all accounts pretty cheap, probably why there's load of people with their exhausts. They've got a lifetime guarrenty though, this is what i like! Also loads of tail pipe options! (Not that that matters too much with E, S or TDi spec Loops) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arun Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 i know more than 10 people who have been to longlife, i think they charge about £250 for a custom cat back job, and theyre good quality.but i have been told that infinity are just as good and will beat a longlife quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
