Paul Ash Posted June 27, 2006 Author Posted June 27, 2006 QUOTE QUOTE It would be low exit. Sorry for stupid question but whats included? Manifold, intermediate pipes and silencer? Raceline do the system for £625 Any response to this? Differences will be in the overall quality of the system. Silencer fabrication & merging of collectors etc. I believe Raceline do two levels of system, there stock one @ £625+vat and there Top spec one at nearly a £1000 + vat. Simpson's offer allows you to specify what you want 4-2-1 or 4-1 system low exit or bonnett exit, what length 7" can & bore sizes etc. Not just one fixed sytem. Eventuallly from these BB's they will template an off the shelf system, so that they can re-produce system after system & therefore negate the need to drop the car off. However as has already been demonstrated from the last BB there are slight differences in engine positions. So having a bespoke system built to suit your car can be a much better option.
