£1150. Turbo back. Custom-made. Meerkat.
I'm sure Frayz paid a small islands debt for his.
Others i'd of gone for would be either a titanium or a buddy club, and i doubt those will get you much change from £1500.

Lateral ceramic coated headers are around £800 and an APS 3" system around £750 so I would pay £1550 if I had that much lying around.

How can spending over 1k on an exhaust be justified?
I paid 90 quid for my used 3" down pipe, 25 quid for the 3" centre system and 100 quid for a used scoobymania 3" stainless backbox I removed the bend so the system is nearly dead straight and a true 3".
Throw in a harvey Smith uppipe and ported headers and some uprated mounts...job done.
How can a 1500 quid system give more more power than my budget one ???

You can specifiy style, volume, everything. You can see how straight the pipe is, with a dragger-style exit, that's the only silencer in the pipe.

Yes, love it. Wife hates it, but she uses with a bung.

when i use to have my old nur spec exhaust, it use to pop and bang on the standard ecu, and after mapping it lost it, but i think it can be added in by the mapper, or if you have a apexi commander, you can play around with it to do the pops etc

The Simspon on mine was just over £1600 from the turbo back.
Lightweight .06mm stainless, only one join with a V-band, 2 repackable race silencers and only 91.5dB @ 4500rpm static.
Worth every single penny IMO.
Just for your info, my manifold is a ceramic coated GTspec Gen 2 jobbie.
