2.8 exhaust

[Matts2.8]

Good evening all,

My exhaust has seen better days, can anyone give me any reviews or thoughts on where to get a replacement., thinking stainless steel but don't want anything really loud and still looking oem ish.

I can't seem to find anything off the shelf item or do I have to get one made?

Thanks matt

I would be interested in this. Would like a better sound than oem but not too loud......

I got the Supersprint for mine, sound great and gets better with age and no drone.

The 0070 one. Not cheap but

Sounds great on the overrun in a childish sort of way when out and about between buildings

Thanks I'll take a look

Mine is a custom made non branded one. It always gets comments when peeps have been following out on a cruise. No drone but sounds great in built up areas and I get a lovely burble when I let the revs off. I realise non of this helps one dot but maybe look for a firm to make one to order for you. You can choose your own tail pipes to your own liking if your after an oem finish.

Grumps sounds good do you mind me asking how much, and is this for the complete system

It was on when I bought the car 6 years ago and although I have a decent history with it there is nothing for the exhaust. It's a cat back system.

We had the exhaust off last year when we dropped tye rear axle out for a refurb and there is no stamp anywhere on it which is annoying because if it ever has to be replaced I'd be more than happy to have the same again.

I had a Powerflow cat back stainless put on mine for £372.00 in May 2017. Selected slightly louder than OEM and two pipes. Very pleased with it still. Seems good VFM, worth a look. Albeit a M44, wouldn't have thought 2.8 would be much more.

I had a backbox made up and chose my own tailpipes, cost £140 around 3 years ago now. You can also choose the sound, mines a bit louder than OEM but sounds nice. Had to have a couple of holes welded up on it recently, will probably look at replacing soon with something similar or a cat back one.

What is a cat back one?

Appreciated, so simple now. End, middle and whole of now have a new meaning.... that makes sense

when buying the supersprint exhaust have you guys purchased the "race" version as there is a big price difference between the race and non race?
