Its time to get a new exhaust system, and was wonder what some of you may have on your SPi/MPi's. MyCabrio is set up for a center exhaust unit, and im having trouble finding one that I like. Should i start from the maifold and work my way to the muffler, or just stick to the muffler.
any links to websites would be great. Hopefully they will ship abroad to the states.
Pictures would be really great too.

did you stick with just the muffler or did you do the whole exhaust system from the manifold back? were did you purchase your kit from? Here in the states they are hard to come across and when you do, your better off just buying them from the exact place the retailer here is getting them from. saves that whole middle man, and you get it a lot faster.

Hmm one thing with that worry me is that, it doesn't tell you what is made off. I would prefer stainless steel :P

What about this:

Lifetime guarantee + stainless steel :o got to worth the extra money! But i don't know which one i need or the SPI, as it is really confusing!

I bought a full 1 3/4 inch system from Maniflow, stage 2 LCB manifold, cat replacment pipe and twin DTM centre exit back box. Maniflow are amongst the best of exhausts for minis.

thanks Bevan for the reference pics. I personally am not a fan of the rolled tip, but i think its because i have had the upright tips on my Vert for years and just accustomed to it.

I didnt like the rolled tip either so I cut it of :P

I dont like the center exit systems, and the RC40 is just too small a tailpipe. The PlayMini side exit system has been around for years and was one of the original stainless sytems available, comes in varius sizes and has quality written all over it. The fletcher is 'similar' to the PlayMini.

I suggest you buy either the fletcher or the playmini big bore and cut the rolled tip off >_<
