Tigz™ Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 i do have a straight section of pipe laying around i could put in there but wouldnt i loose too much pressure? To be honest the middle silencer is tiny, and does very little.I would be very supprised if it had much, if any negitive effects.Would be worth the try Im sure.Or you could always replace the manifold.http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=17336 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Adrian Flux has been pretty good to me, although I havn't had to make a claim so I dont have any complaints.Heard of a few problems with the customer service, but Ive never had any.Isn't an exhaust manifold going to be the same as an exhaust on your insurance?What did your company say about your exhaust?

dj_slipp Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Yeah had mine on the rollers because i thought it had lost power with my longlife backbox, and it had. was running 97 bhp.so i took it back to longlife and they re-fabricated it. been meaning to get it back on the rollers, but i still reckon my standard exhaust was better than a custom one.i should have got a supersprint one instead of the custom one 2 years ago, but i was young and naive.

Mister Bob Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I know this may be abit old now but l just had a Scorpion Back Box for a GTI come today and it's for my Arosa Sport, the same as (Exxxtreme Arosa). This is a question more for you mate, as you said it fitted like a glove. So you did'nt have to cut or add any new pipe and it just went on no problem, did you do it your self or did you take it to a garage.The place where l ordered it from have cocked up abit, l think because they have sent me through two scorpion back boxes when l only ordered one and have cheaked with the card company and they have only charged me for one so, if they don'nt notice what they have done it will be up for sale at a good price..
