Longlife exhaust system



  Clio 182 FF
Hi,

I am going to need to get a new exhaust for my clio soon as the silencers are deteriorating. Have been researching into different exhausts, Scorpion, Miltek and the like and came across LongLife. Has anyone got one of these exhausts and are they any good?

Cheers
 
All depends which one you go to, they are a franchise like powerflow. So you get good and bad ones. Unless you know somebody who has used them before then it is a bit of a gamble.
Not thought of fred@btm's new system?

Hi Scott,

Would be going for the franchise in Northampton as its really close. Fred is only a bit further up the motorway. Just trying to get an idea of prices to start with. I know that Fred will do a good job as is very highly regarded on here and is only a bit further up the motorway from me in Milton Keynes. I will have to contact him for a quote. Good thing about longlife is they do 0% finance on their systems.

whats wrong with an off the shelf system? There are some very good ones about for reasonable money

Hi Gandi,

Its not so much the bespoke system i am after, i just want a system and it fitted really. Most of the garages round here would probably bodge it to an extent. So yeah i could order a scorpion or a K-Tec but i can't fit it myself.

ah ok, then most will say see fred and i'd be inclined to agree as he'll do a good job
 
Freds system will be fantastic, Ive got one of the original yozza and the quality of the system really is fantastic.
The Piper exhaust also gets some positive reviews if you are on a bit more of a budget. I think Dan over Bedford way can supply and fit these.

I have a longlife system. Cant fault it! I opted for the 'race' box and it sounds perfect. Lifetime warrenty, awesome build quality, great price.
Im on my phone now so cant upload a picture, but ill get one up this evening for you.

Would love to see a pic please. Seen some decent reviews on the net from other forums. Seems to depend where you go as to what customer service and quality but generally very good feedback. Northampton is only up the road and they offer 0% for 6 months so won't have to shell out the full whack immediately!

Ill put some up later.
I use the one in Bristol. I have had 2 of their systems now, and both have been 100% spot on! Literally cant fault them or their service! But as mentioned previously, they are a franchise so im sure its hit and miss.

I had one fitted to my old 172 and I got everything I asked for. even the after care was great. a year after having it I caught the silencer on a speed bump and cracked it. took it back in and they welded it up for me with no questions.

I used the one in Doncaster when I had it fitted.

I have a full Milltek stainless steel system with sports downpipe and cat cat fitted to my 53 172 phase 2. It has twin tailpipes that exit under the stock rear bumper (note the 182 has centre pipes that exit through the bumper so a slightly different system is needed for a 182).

I has the system fitted in October 08 and it's been great. The car seems more powerful than when on the standard exhaust and the typical 4k rattle has been cured. It makes a great noise without being too loud, and sounds truly rourty 'on cam'. Best of all it lasts. I had my car in for a new alternator a couple of weeks ago and took a look underneath whilst it was on the ramp - the Miltek system looks like new.

I had the system fitted by Linden Special Vehicles, Regent Park, Wellingborough NN8 6GR and wholly recommend them. They specialise in performance cars and were both knowledgeable and good value. As I was away for work my 70 year old Mother in Law took the car in for me to get the work done. They were great with her. Also in know that MoreGo at Brackley also fit Miltek systems.

Hope this helps

Been in touch with some of the longlife depots and the best for service and price so far is Leeds. Bit of a mission up there but even with the cost of the fuel is still about 130 quid cheaper than Northampton or Bicester! Got in touch with Fred at BTM too, awaiting reply. Thanks for your input chaps.
 
  DON'T SEND ME PM'S!!
you're only up the road from me in MK, I'm near Bedford. I can supply and fit you some very good exhausts
