Default Japspeed cr@p






Everything I've ever got from Japspeed has been utter ****e. picked this brand cat back up for £50 which I thought was good, took it to get fitted today and when I went to pick it up the fella said don't ever bring **** like that to me again lol. both hangers needed cutting and welding the exhaust needed cutting and welding and really still needed a bit more . Had the same thing with there intercooler. be the last time I get anything from them

you know it's actually alright just pissed me off that it had to be cut and welded I am few places and cost me an extra 60 notes it's a £250 system from Japspeed as I see it in paid £50 for it and £60 for the exhaust place to get it fitted right . I think I'll just get a silencer welded in my Nur spec r or vortex

No matter how shiney a turd is or how much glitter you roll it in, on the inside it is still a turd.

Cheap induction kits, FMIC, DV's, tyres, the list goes on but people still buy it!

Are you sure this wasn't off a newage? If the hangers are in the wrong place and the exhaust needed shortening sounds likes its a newage system.

No same year as mine the hangers where like about half inch off by length and It didn't need shortening it needed a cut to angle it up so it wouldn't touch and sit better at the back . I've just sold a newage system

Had a japspeed cat back on my old Scooby,hangers were correct and fit well,the flange was a different matter! We had to cut and rotate so it would fit upto the downpipe,,,but it was a RCM DP so we thought this might have been the reason we had to modify it.

I bought a stainless steel system listed for a newage but when i got it, found it was for a classic. Has it got Japspeed logo's?

I have a Japspeed exhaust manifold on mine, fitted fine although i did have to cut a metal bracket away to get it to fit on.
