   Now then
   
   Who knows anything about Longlife Exhausts???
   
   I'm looking into get an exhaust system and it seems a longlife custom made is going to work out cheaper (£270) compared to a standard purchase Magnex (sensible choice i've been told?!? = £330 inc delv. + fitting).
   
   Also, what you reckon 2.5" pipe or 3.5"???
   
   Cheers

   Powerflow and most of the custom exhaust manufacturers offer a lifetime warrenty, as long as you keep the car, and as long as you take it in for them to inspect every 12 months or something. Inspection doesn' cost you anything so its pretty good deal.

   good exhausts because you get lifetime guarantee but the only problem is performance as it may not be as good as aftermarket systems

   Magnex seems more appealing though or am i being daft?? The 3.5" tailpipe will fill the gap in the bumper too.
   
   One thing though....

   Yes...but maybe not if you go to a really good powerflow place, but some are crap and you would lose power.
