SCORPION
Looking for great power, great sound and great quality from your new exhaust system? If so, Scorpion claims that it ticks all the right boxes. Scorpion’s high-performance stainless exhaust systems are manufactured from the highest-quality T304 stainless steel. According to Scorpion, each of its systems represent the best that money can buy – especially if you’re looking for a great exhaust note. Plus, every Scorpion exhaust comes with a comprehensive manufacturer’s guarantee for as long as you own it. This Scorpion system is available through Europerformance’s online store. The price below includes £11.95 delivery and is for the Mk2 8v GTI (it consists of a front silencer, centre silencer, rear silencer, mounting bracket and fitting kit). WHO? Scorpion Exhausts
JETEX
Here’s some aluminised steel and shiny stainless steel systems from Jetex. They utilises 2.5in pipework and are suitable for all Mk2 GTIs – as long as you haven’t made any modifications they’ll fit perfectly to your car’s existing downpipe. So, what’s so special about this three-piece twin-box system? Well, for a start it doesn’t feature a baffle-fitted silencer. Instead noise is reduced through absorption in a perforated tube. This means less gas flow restriction and so back pressure is reduced. As a result torque is increased and engine performance is also enhanced. Jetex systems come complete with all necessary fittings and fixings, plus a lifetime warranty. Available through Jetex’s online store (www.jetex.co.uk) as well as Jabbasport. WHO? Jetex
