Stainless Exhaust for 1800 GTI - best option ???

Is Supersprint one of the best options for a stainless exhaust for a MK1 1800 GTI ?

There's a magnex one here - what do you think?

Mine is running a TSR stainless manifold, longlife custom made stainless centre section and Magnex stainless back box.  It Revs!!!

The Magnex centre section never quite fitted properly, hence it was replaced with the custom pipe - anywhere like Longlife/Powerflow will be able to do this for you for not much money.

On my other Mk1 I've got a custom made Powerflow system and it's spot on, never had any problems.  However, it's been on the car a while and I have heard that the quality of the systems may have gone down hill since then - all I can say is mine is very good.

If you can find a Magnex back box, buy it - they are good!

as far as i'm aware Supersprint only do Mild Steel exhausts..

my GTI came with a Supersprint which IMO stuck out like a sore thumb, I thought it was horrible.. so i've got a standard system back on it now.

I really rate Magnex systems as I had one on my Mk2 16v and it was quality!

I'm not really well up on S/S systems for the Mk1.. I have a few friends who swear by Powerflow systems as they are tailored to your exact specification so you can have a nice standard looking back box, or slash cut or whatever you like..

there's loads out there so make sure you're happy with what you hand over your dosh for!

Supersprint do do stainless and are apparently the best fitting exhaust you can buy for a Mk1.

If/When I buy - It WILL be Supersprint… 8)

ive got a magnex full stainless system on mine, cant fault it.
 sounds sweet and looks the part too.
 the fitting was very good too.

 i can give it my seal of approval!

tell me more?.. is it the Group A system that is stainless steel?.. i've seen one of those and I love how the back box exits the reat and an angle!!

Id like to know more if its the one that exits at nearly a 45 degree angle I remember a few years back (late 90's) a blue Y plate with a 1.8 20v non turbo running carbs had one on it I think - anyone remember that ?

It is the group A that exits like that yes, though that is only mild steel. This is my preference…

The Stainless exhausts are the "Street" versions I suppose…
Check the website out…

I cant see any stainless steel exhuasts for the Mk1 on the website.. only the manifold  :dontknow:

Yeah - I'm sure they do a full stainless sytem though… :?
Why do a stainless four branch and nothing else!
