147 GTA; which zorst? Twin or quad

Supersprint - You've also got the option of manifolds, etc should you want upgrades at a later date.

I too prefer the OEM look, but that kind of went out of the window when I put my 19's on.
19's = a bit OTT, so a quad should fit with the look quite nicely.

Manifolds, not at them prices. As i'm sure you're already aware, you can easy spent well over £3k just purchasing a full supersprint exhaust system (front to back, with all the cats and silencers in between). FOOOK!! nevermind getting it fitted on top of that.

Oh my word, ive just checked Gazzella to double check them prices and have now realised that the prices I have quoted at the top of the page on the poll dont have the VAT added on. I didnt realise this at first. Blooody Nora!!

This realisation could sway my decision here.

So, what this means then...
if I did go for the Quad Supersprint (£789+VAT),
with centre silencer pipe (£259+VAT),
it would add up to £1227.88 inc VAT.
Fair enough, I could knock around £130 off that figure if I opted for a centre pipe without silencer, but its still a bl00dy 4 figure sum!!

As much as I would love a Quad Supersprint, I dont think I could stomach paying that for an exhaust. I hope ive got me calculations wrong here.

Right, i'm off to see if I can EDIT the original post/poll to show the prices INCLUDING VAT instead. Maybe people may have voted differently if I had included VAT in the first place.
Bollards.

(p.s. that pants down smiley seems very apt at this point.)

After realising what the prices will be with VAT and the relevant Centre Silencers, the Quad Supersprint is way too much.....

Twin Ragazzon + Centre Silencer + VAT = £ 479.40

Twin Supersprint + Centre Silencer + VAT = £ 878.90

Quad Ragazzon + Centre Silencer + VAT = £ 669.75

Quad Supersprint + Centre Silencer + VAT = £ 1231.40

Quad Ragazzon looks to be best value out of this lot like.

What about a quad Ragga without the centre silencer? Is Pablos' got a centre silencer?

Dont think his has got the silencer Pud. Them prices dont half shoot up when VAT and centre silencer are added dont they.

Do you defo want to get the centre silencer put in? Mine has no centre silencer remember, and there isn't a touch of drone in mine on the motorways. I think the cat keeps everything quietened down..

Not 100% sure lad. I change my mind everyday. Next time I meet up with u and pabloss, i'll have a bit of a noise test.

EDIT-Just chatted to Pabloss there, he has got the Silencer on his centre pipe.

Well Pablos' is louder than mine, even though he's got a centre silencer and I haven't. I guess this is down to him having four outlets instead of one.

I reckon you should go for a quad, not sure which one, but without a centre silencer. It will be god damn loud, but it'll be awesome. Obviously at some point down the line you'll get sick of it so then take it to Powerflow or wherever and get them to put a silencer in, with baffles either side, at least you'll be able to whip it on and off without too much trouble depending on whether you want loud or quiet..

Pabloss has had a Cat by pass pipe put on so that'll make a big difference to the extra noise.

I'm favouring the quad at the mo like, and as ive already said i dont think I could stomach paying over £1200 for supersprint quad (inc. centre silencer and VAT). The quad Ragazzon's not far off HALF that price.
Change my mind all the time tho.

I can't comment on the Ragazzon, but certainly with CSC vs Supersprint your getting what you pay for.

Manifolds are expensive, but remember there are 2 of them!

Quad Ragazzon Ragazzon stuff is top quality!

I have Ragazzon on my lowly 1.6 Lusso and I've been impressed with quality and how it looks and sound.

But then Swanny's does sound the mutt's, shakes the floor...

Its proper ain't it

Quad ragga Bacon, you know it makes sense

What did you decide on in the end Bacon?

Twin, but I wouldn't know which one.
