($) Turbo big bore exhoust

Has anyone dealt with MIJ in Walsall? My 940 currently has a Jetex cat back system, and as is always the case with a Jetex it's dead after just under 3 years.

MIJ say they'll do a complete 3" stainless exhaust, including downpipe, for 430.00 including vat and fitting with an extra 222.00 pounds for a Sports cat. That gives me the chance to fit the C70 16T Turbo I have sitting about.

So the question is does anyone know their work from personal experience or do you have alternative suggestions?

I had mine done @ Sound Proof Systems in Tipton, not a million miles away from Walsall.
MIJ always seem to be on the pricey side and happier to cater for the 'fast and furious' brigade.

Hi,

Never heard of them. But that's not to say they are no good.

What you will want to do is find out what grade of steel they would use for the exhaust (304? Stay away! 316? Ok) and similarly for the Cat.
You can get a Jetex 3" sports Cat (stainless with 100 or 200 elements) for, I think, £300. But it is a fair decent unit with 316 steel.
Linky....

Or get a price from PD Gough for the same, they fit and give a lifetime guarantee. Just outside Nottingham.
But they do use 316 steel for their systems...

Get mild steel and paint it with stove paint.

Jetex are OK, but not at the price charged for them in the UK, they seem to be sold as a premium price system.

I'm kind of thinking of going for a half way house. For the moment I just need the car to work reliably. A standard car back system will be 100 quid or so, and I'm not turning up the boost on the 940 for the moment. It ran well with the 2.5" cat back jetex, where do I get something similar at sensible money?

It needs to fly down the autobahn again later this month.

Stainless steel one?

Mild steel will still rust with 1" of stove paint on it!! They rust from the inside out...

So where can you get them cheaper (including your shipping and taxes etc)?

The last one I saw, they "sort of" forgot about the second Lambda Sensor.......................

Took a few pages before it became apparent , and he definitely wouldn't recommend them to anyone
