    Question if I may..... Exhaust for Project RED ALERT, Advice....

    Hi guys n Girls....

    Right I need advice for my project 850 estate (RED ALERT)..... (RICA)...

    In about 4 weeks time I want to order or have a custom exhaust built..... (I live on the Isle of Wight)

    Stainless and as loud as the IPD systems (they sound good).... not sure about shipping costs for them to UK.... so looking else where...

    I'm not worried about noise as I think the right system will sound brill..... It is a project car so not worried if its loud (better than quiet)

    Any Recommendations, direct fit or custom local company Southampton etc....


    Thanks Phill

    Owners seem to rate the Ferrita system from Don. Good value too.

    I've got Jetex twins on my AWD and it is very quiet, almost stock noise levels.

    I'm off to Totton exhausts in Southampton, they're a retailer of powerflow and have a good reputation, bar be it some of the vehicles they fit exhausts to are chav-tastic!
