Janspeed Exhaust
- Thread starter
- #3
I've now done a few hundred miles on my Janspeed exhaust system with sports cat and I’m very pleased with it.
There are a few times I wish it was a bit louder but reckon that 90% of the time it is spot on especially as I use my car to commute to work on the M25 (only 3 junctions) and did not want a system that was too loud or produced any unwanted cabin drone / booming.
I've noticed on mine that when the exhaust is cold the pipes are situated perfectly in the rear bumper, when hot they drop a little? Plan to take a look under the car this weekend to see if there is any adjustment?

Hopefully James (hyb) will have some pics of the system being fitted? There is a library pic of the system in my 'Garage'.

Hey glad you like yours too.
I've had a quick look and your right there is very little adjustment available - one tip I got off cliosport is to pack the holes on the black rubber exhaust mount with a few bits of cut hose pipe. This firms up the mount preventing any movement.
To be honest it lines up nicely I was just being a perfectionist. Although mine don't say Janspeed on the pipes- well at least I didn't think so we'll need to pop out and check now - from memory it just had the Janspeed logo pressed into the main box.

Here's my pics of my Janspeed exhaust system;
With only one back box is weighs a massive 8kg lighter than the original.
I also modified my exhaust mounts today with some hose pipe and adjusted the brackets forward to the rear of the car a little.
The sound is developing very nicely as I put more miles on her.

Looks good Matt! I must admit the Janspeed system is the one tempting me most right now, the single box design is definately the way to go.
Why did you have to modify the mount, was this just to get it to sit better and look better, or was it knocking?

No it was not knocking, I noticed that when the exhaust was hot it dropped down a little. Firming up the rear mounts prevents this.

Looks great
O.
No not really, I think you need a de-cat to get it to 'pop and burble', mines fitted with Janspeeds sports cat as I wanted to keep things 100% legal.
