I love that exhaust, from that is says it will fit the 120 (suitable for all saloon and hatchback models), is that right as the Janspeed site says it's just for the 180?

Edit, it actually states 120 and 180 so I guess it does. Time to start buttering the wife up (so to speak!) How much is the OEM exhaust for a comparison?

[grimmy]

[Bobdope2002]

[grimmy]

sod all that goto powerflow and have a custom one built upNow i would have done that if money wasn't so much of an option for me ,but if you have the cash then that would well be the way to go.

id say save up for one then :laugh:

as good as piper backboxes sound on the 180 you cant beat being able to tell a guy how you want it too sound and also watch the bloke fabricate it too

Oh and Mate if you do go the Powerflow Route Dont go anywhere Else other than a Place Called Unique Exhaust in Stafford, He is the Dogz Danglies

I Originally had one done in Birmingham by a bunch of friggin cowboys who couldnt measure a DEcat properley meaning when MOT time came up the OE cat wouldnt fit meaning Brand New Exhaust just for a damn Pass Certificate :@

[Ricks180]

Thanks for all your veiws guys it seems everyone has there own favs but I think its gunna be the janspeed from what I can make out its the one that does and sounds right

[garythesnail]

Don't order over the internet - speak to the lads and make sure you get the right one for your car MKI MKII saloon and hatch means there's a few different types 'on the shelf'(and haggle for a discount). I've got an issue I'm waiting for them to resolve at the moment.

Mine must have been old stock - marked up with the XPower logo etched on the side of the tailpipe.

Sounds bloody good. :D

I fitted an x-power back box and i have to say it is by far the best thing i have ever bought for my car. Arrived very quickly and fitted perfect...oh, and it sounds really deep. i cant recommend it enough....

if your going to get one of those get the induction kit aswell she wont know

[Fudgepacker]

ang on those pics look like what i got on my 120 already

[Andyf]

The tail pipe looks like a 3.5 inch version of the OEM one which is why I like it so much, it's subtle but looks more 'meaty'.

Neil (Matto 180) has a dual Xpower system on his 180 which sounds awesome, this video doesn't do it justice.

When you say 'x-power' is it like the one in my pic or the one in the other pic, the janspeed one..
When i bought mine im sure i paid £160 inc delivery.

[Ricks180]

The Guy on the phone said it was the XPower one so i would say its the same as yours.

I imagine the one from Janspeed will be a Janspeed Xpower lol

The Janspeed one (slash cut)

Good choice, you will not be dissapointed. when i first had mine fitted i was driving around with the window open all the time! still do now... especially when you drive through a tunnel or in a multi-storey car park....fantastic.

[RalphG]

just to clarify (once again ;)) - there are 2 exhaust back boxes that are currently being sold as "XPower". The one from XPart is inwardly rolled, and the one from Janspeed is slash cut.

The Janspeed back box is only available for the saloon. The XPart back box, subject to stock, is available for both saloon and hatchback.

[Ricks180]

I did say to the guy on the phone at janspeed it was for the hatch and he said it was the right one.
