   Hey guys in the process of turbo'ing my vtr currently have a cituning manifold on the way with a renault 5 t2 turbo, And currently have a straight through supersprint with a supersprint magnum back box which hopefully should be fine with the low psi ill be running for a while. But my problem is i don't know many people in the West Midlands area who can make downpipes and the powerflow down here is quite on the expensive side =\ so just wondering if anyone can recommend me anywhere?
   cheers luke

   I've used MIJ in walsall before, pretty pricey for what they do, but the qualitys really good, the welds and bends in my exhaust were flawless.

   Ah right, i sent my dad down to have his exhaust done and it was spot on, sounds mint but it is a v6. So as that came back ok I had them fit my 4-1 manifold, put in a sports cat / remove the centre section and link it upto my backbox, done in a few hours, really look after you and the quality was great.
   
   What seems to be the problems with them?

   Dunno just a few things I've read about the welds being pap and so on, mainly on the clio sites though. Depends who does it though, you could get an excellent fitter one time and one whos not another day

    News to me, I havent heard any bad reviews on them so i can only really speak from my own experience which was good. Probly wont use them again though cause of what others have said, pick of the draw and all that.
    At least they never screwed me over anyway (Y)
