hi guys, just bought myself an 850 t5, this will be my second one after having one a few years back. wasn't even looking for a t5, but the pics of this sold the car to me and my mind was made up.
I've got my eye open for a stainless steel exhaust, cant believe how quiet the car is with a standard system on.
anyway here's a quick pic,
I've been around forums for other car groups, i'm hoping this palce is as friendly as the others :)
welcome to the club

Welcome along, nice to see you here as well as Passion Ford :P I'm CrOwSoN15 over there by the way.
Good to see a familiar face :) Can anyone recommend a good exhaust for these? Been looking for a second hand one but I'm not having much luck
Welcome :)
[QUOTE=BigChuck;719106]Good to see a familiar face :) Can anyone recommend a good exhaust for these?

Came in at around £360 IIRC.
Welcome along, nice T5 :)

Little bit disappointed with the noise of the Jetex, however it pulls much better with it! Tempted to remove one of the boxes for a bit more noise.
[QUOTE=Sweep;720952]Little bit disappointed with the noise of the Jetex, however it pulls much better with it!

Guess that's true for this system! Welcome along Bigchuck!
welcome along :)

Thanks for the welcome guys
Welcome! Nice 850. I have a miltek turbo back exhaust on mine with a ripspeed square tip. Sounds good but quiet enough for long motorway drives without your ears bleeding. Sound deadening on the inside helps a bunch
welcome , very nice T5
Welcome

[QUOTE=stribo;725789]How is pink a proper coloured car? :P[/QUOTE] Mine is getting quite red now thank you :haha:
[QUOTE=Sweep;720952]Little bit disappointed with the noise of the Jetex, however it pulls much better with it! Tempted to remove one of the boxes for a bit more noise.[/QUOTE] Hey - have you removed a box yet? I've got a BSR exhaust which is quite similar to the Jetex (ive heard) and mine is super quiet but I'm unsure of which box to remove as I dont want to start sounding like a chavv'ed up Saxo.
[QUOTE=evo230;725791]Mine is getting quite red now thank you :haha:[/QUOTE] Must be the sun. ;)

[QUOTE=stribo;725805]Must be the sun. ;)[/QUOTE] careful - looks like you're only just up the road from me - I shall you helping with the polishing if you keep being mean! :P
[QUOTE=Sweep;725806]I haven't mate no, I think there's 2 boxes in the Jetex and I'm looking at ditching the big box but I'm unsure yet.[/QUOTE] hurry up and do it - i dont want to be the first and then have to try and re-attach it!
