Fuck going to prospeed, he got caught bragging about how he had just ripped another customer when he thought no one was around. I had a manifold back system done on my roadster, I had a slight problem with it sitting too low and they redid the who thing without a single quarrel. Austin is a top bloke, no bull shit it nothing.

Prospeed make the exhaust there while you wait.
Usually takes the best part of a day, thats it.
Just go in Cardiff food or something.
I paid for mine outright, £390 for a full system fitted. Their fabrication is perfection.

Had the exact exhaust I wanted and it sounded amazing.

Give prospeed a ring if you don't mind travelling to Cardiff.

That's just my input though. I've heard of bad dealings with prospeed too, so think its just off chance with each company.

prospeed does sound better but cant really leave my car up cardiff for 4 days, but then again longlifes cutting and welding job sounds a bit messy, did u pay for the system outright or were you able to get finance from prospeed because longlifes 6 month intrest free sounds nice lol

the standard exhaust is kept from the exhaust manifold to the catalytic converter (cat)
then from the 'cat' back to the back box is upgraded.

full exhaust systems are when you replace the cat with a decat or a sports cat.

Hey mate,

I used Longlife in Swansea and have nothing but praise - was about 5 years ago now, but paid £280 for cat back system, and £100 a couple of years later for a decat pipe. Quality was good, and lifetime warranty is excellent - about 3 years after buying it, it started blowing from a cracked weld on the back box, which was repaired while I waited, free of charge.

anyone bought a custom exhaust from here? whats the prices and quality like. just that its easier n usually cheaper to have things custom made rather than find parts for a levin.

cheers, kin
