Nice one Nick, Mikes car is looking very nice, and I can imagine the chrome works well on it. Really easy job to do. Just gotta persuade him to upgrade his exhaust. The people that make the bespoke exhausts are http://www.longlife.co.uk/ it might be worth him looking if he wants a quad, and then he can chhose the note/volume. I know some people that have used them and always had good reports. I got a quote last year, and this was the email I had back....

Hi Stewart

Thanks for your enquiry.

A custom build Dual Exit stainless exhaust system for your MGF would usually run from the existing catalytic converter section through to the rear of the car on both sides (Dual exit/Duplex). Included in the base system price would be 2 standard style 2.5" rolled lip style tailpipe. You can of course choose alternative or upgrades from our extensive range of about 55 tailpipes if you wish.

Because all of our systems are custom built, you are able to tell us how you would like the car to sound, anywhere from quiet to full sport. The most popular choice is Mild Sport, which gives a slight note when you open the accelerator, yet without being intrusive.

The system is guaranteed for as long as you own the car, and this is a fully transferrable warranty. It's also a "No Hassle" warranty - we believe it is the very the best warranty in the industry.

If you are interested in technical specifications, the system is built in 304 grade stainless steel throughout, and assembled using high frequency TIG welding. All of our systems are built using freeflow technology, so your engine will breathe better than with conventional systems. This usually gives a noticeable improvement in the torque from your engine - particularly at lower revs. We have numerous testimonials from customers who have experienced both improved engine performance and fuel economy.

Fitting is by appointment - we usually require a vehicle like yours for around 5 hours while we custom build and fit the system. If you chose to wait with your car, we have waiting facilities with coffee and internet access. If it makes life easier, we may be able to make a courtesy car available while yours is with us. There is no charge for a courtesy car, but there is an age restriction.

To custom build and fit a Longlife system onto your vehicle, the price (inclusive of VAT) with the 2.5" tailpipes option works out at £349.

I trust that this is of interest to you. If you want to book in, or require any further information, then please call either myself or Lisa French on 0870 600 3133.

We are based at Unit 11 Moniton Trading Estate, West Ham Lane, Worting, Basingstoke RG22 5EE. Other centres include Plymouth, London and Gloucestershire.

Thanks for contacting us,
Regards,

Alex Hollo-Tas.
