[delux]

clamps?

If it's a universal one then it needs to either have a Saxo fitting welded on or just the pipe welded on :S

You're better off looking into Powerflow, you won't lose a fuckload of power for a start. You'll also have the opportunity to get the exhaust note adjusted to 'how you likey', and it'll just bolt straight on. The last thing you want is a universal exhaust... I had one and my fuel economy went waaaaaaaay down, as did my power.

thanks guys , my mate got a powerflow fitted that cost him £180 is that the normal price inc fitting ?

[delux]

and if its a diect fit can anyone do it i.e D.I.Y job ?

[Evolution4589]

Powerflow fit it for you. If it's direct fit (which it won't be if universal) you can fit it...

[delux]

is that what sort of price i can expect then (£180) ?

[Evolution4589]

Yeah that's about right I think, could be £135 though- that's one number I heard bandied about.

Try this :) http://www.tuning.co.uk/vauxshop/ Can always ring up and ask if they fit, i bought mine from there (bearing in mind mines a Westy) Fitted perfect. Sounds good too, video in my progress thread.

universal = may need welding

[stu-n-shell]

Yes, as it's not developed for your engine, it's developed for everything between 1-litre and 1.8-litre basically.

Ideally you need something designed for your car...

full system all the way

[delux]

only a 1.1 so not bothered about full system , just back box for a bit of noise . going to look into a powerflow one or a cheap second hand one. universal will be last resort depending on cost.

tbh universals will cause you alot of hassle

[delux]

will a back box off a mk1 vtr fit on a mk2 1.1 ?
