Important! : sportex full exhaust system

[jstroudy]

hi im thinking about buying a full sportex exhaust system (manifold, centre pipe and back box) due to it being alot cheaper than any other make but just woundering is it actually any good?its for the mk2 vtr and the manifold is a de cat manifold.
thanks any help would be great

the stuff is average mate. itll probably be worth spending a bit of money on better stuff second hand?

[jstroudy]

cant find a decent de cat manifold thats cheap enough mate plus the sportex system has 30month warrenty were second hand stuff doesn't
