standard or stainless

[hopey-182]

ive had my 182 4 years from new love it still. anyway i need the middle pipe peplacing now 100 pound plus labour for fitting. does anyone know the rough life span of the middle pipe back and price . the reason i ask is that we are keeping the car for a lot more years yet. and im wondering if i might aswell purchase a stainless system. which brings me on to my next question whats a decent system price plus dont want anything really loud im no young lad.sorry for long thread thanks:S

AAS in Newcastle will build you a custom system. Style/noise. This is what i have.

Else you have a choice of , Ktec, Yozzasport, miltek,

I've read a few stories about 182 exhaust systems being prone to rusting so you might be better off with a stainless system anyway if you're planning to keep the car.

I second AAS. Really good work and top lads.

No custom place has made a system i've heard in stainless near o.e noise levels....... Be careful!

All AAS ones i've heard sound like rally cars, which is fine if thats your bag!

Mine doesnt, my brothers doesnt.

You can have it how you want. Hutchie asked for his as loud as possible.

Mine is no louder than standard, hutchie and -Karl- can clarify that. Even fred

Fair do's then! The ones i've heard tend to be on the loud side

Have just replaced the centre section on my 172 cup with a BTB stainless cat back system, it's identical to the OE part and is a stealth version. It's very well made and comes with extra support to stop it moving about as much as the standard renault one does.
Cost was £349 +£25 delivery

Is so quiet as well for a stainless.
