hi just brought a fiat bravo and wanting to put a new exhaust on it but i dont no any gd garages to get one fitting ive phoned e.t.s at alfreton and they quoted around £250 does anybody know anywhere better or more value for money, i live in sutton so places in mansfield chesterfield would be ideal.
and can any one recommend a induction kit to buy?

Mr Tyre in Mansfield on Chesterfield Rd down stainless steel exhaust systems and that seems about right.

Rather then an induction kit your best off going for a replacement air filter i.e. a K&N one. But an induction kit which isn't enclosed and not shielded from engine heat and not properly fed cold air isn't really gonna help your engine out or give you any power.

With a stainless steel exhaust and induction kit you would be lucky to get more then 3bhp on your car with it being a 1.4. It will just feel a lil quicker for a lil while and sound quicker Icon_smile

Your car at the end of the day so it's upto you what you do Icon_smile

Cheapest place for filters is http://www.potn.com

try Custom pipes in doncaster, took my g60 there the other week, full straight thru from manifold back, they used 2 and a quarter inch pipe. I have no other boxs but the back box, so its fooooking loud as ken, but pulls so much better. only charged me £250!!!

Usually the standard airbox design is ok so just replace standard filter as already suggested. Cheaper than an induction kit too. Induction kits sound and look nice though.

It is Matty yeah.

but Ive had a few problems with em when they did mine, and a mate of mine had problems with them too, they charged him for fitting a centre section, he got it home, looked uderneath and the standard one was still on. They fitted the stainless one, but why try and rip people off in the first place.
