more exhaust talk

Opinions required please on which replacement exhaust to buy.

The one on the car hasn't rusted through quite yet, but its on its way, problem is, it sounds like its blowing. It hasn't any holes in it so I guess the baffles etc are worn / rusted out inside.
I would prefer a performance replacement and would consider buying a new exhaust manifold too, to go with the K&N fitted on the intake side - ( you know, to make it breath more easily).

Any advice on which one to go for (I know there isn't much choice now), is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

well I believe (back up from Guy Croft) that the old auto-sensation pattern is the best you can get .. we could get these made (obviously) in stainless, but we would need a run of at least 10, and they won't be cheap. How about we all try out favourite exhaust contacts for a quote for, say, 10 to start with? (I have the complete system to copy)

As you know John I'm up for 1 of these Auto Sensation systems, possibly 2 if the price is right! - email me some pics of the exhaust/measurements if poss then I will follow up with the guy that did my rather nice 3" turbo back Integrale exhaust system...

Come on chaps lets have a show of hands so we can get 10 made up!

Me me me me me me me me me

Tell me more about the auto sensation exhaust, I haven't seen one so I've no idea what they are like. Twin exit ? , manifold ? sound good ? better performance ? any idea on price, a rough figure...

I have been told that Endyke Tyres in Hull have a pipe bending facility and make exhausts...

I'm the other side of the River Humber but could make enquiries if no one is closer to see if they do one offs, or if they would offer a discount on a run.

a pattern would be usefull - andybrown.1315@btinternet.com

The autosensation exhaust-

sound good ?

Well,....it's loud.

I thought it was almost identical to the CSC. Is the CSC not still in production. Whole lot would cost about £500. Also, Autosentation system goes under the right rear wheel arch.

its very different from csc .. the downpipes are much longer .. simon, I still want one!

Does the Auto-Sensation system use the standard 4 into 2 manifold with 2 into 1 down-pipes (similar to the Janspeed system ) or has it a different manifold. Looks a neat system.

Temporary weld up tomorrow on the standard box, which ups the stakes in the search for a replacement. Yes, its blowing big time ! :oops:

Like the look of the auto sensation system, but at around 500 notes, its a bit out of my budget.

CASCU and Alt Autos advertise systems, anyone got one who can give me an idea of what they are like ?

The Auto-Sensation catalogue lists the system as 4/1 tubular exhaust manifold.

Available a long while ago for the princely sum of £249.50

I wonder whether someone could knock up one of these in stainless steel for us. Mmmmm.

Hi Browny!

I've had two X1/9s with the CSCs on.

Did have second thoughts when I had one fitted to my VS (only had a standard exhaust) because of the noise.

I went for one on the bore size and build. The standard exhausts only last about 2 years whereas the CSC is a lot better built. (Check out by lifting it!)

I would highly recomment these! You get a lovely throaty sound and brilliant overrun
