Recommend Exhaust?

Maniax · 15-10-2003

I'm currently looking for an exhaust to replace the stock one on my 147 1.6Ts, since from when I collected it, there has been a dent on the exhaust box(couldn't get the dealer to do anything, they said it didn't affect the car).
Which ones do you recommend? I'm currently looking at Supersprint, Remus(pple say its not made of Stainless Steel, true or not?), and Novitech.
What I look for most is sound and performance, looks isn't so important to me.
Thanks!

Hi Maniax, have you done a search on this site? There's lots of stuff on Novitech, Remus etc.
Good luck wink

If looks arnt important to you.... get the Novitec, in cat-back format..... Its sounds awesome, gives a real performance difference and looks quite good (from the side)... why do i say this?? Because it has two exit pipes, but only one hole from the backbox(and people behind you can see this, unless you paint it like selespeed did!)

I think the remus one sticks out too far behind the car... and the Supersprint one... we'll, I wouldnt like to comment because no one seems to have one....

Dont forget CSC Marmite! Although no one has it on their petrol cars!

SOunds of my 1.6 with the Novitec exhaust:

<hr /></blockquote>I used to have Novitec (all stainless steel from cat-back) on my 156 (2.0TS), and thought it was too loud for my taste. But I agree that performance gain (throttle response and esp. acceleration beyond 120kph) is quite evident.

I've since switched to Supersprint (anodized steel B-pipe and stainless steel back box) which has smaller B-pipe. It's also less noisy than Novitec. I've noticed a slight decrease in acceleration and response at highspeed from the Novitec kit. Here are some pictures of the two:
