Decent exhaust system for 8v

What would be a decent exhaust system to get, including the manifold? What are those Ashley ones like? Dont want anything with a huge tailpipe on the end, just something subtle.

Ashley exhausts are mild steel so will rust in time and the manifolds are known for cracking.

Magnex are probably one of the best exhausts to go for, as they're stainless steel and are built for performance rather than sound.

But they don't do manifolds for the 8v XR2i.

But if your going for a louder/deeper sound go for a Mongoose or Scorpion, Magnex have a more sporty sound.

Usually where the downpipes join the manifold plate. Henry can probably give you more detail as his cracked.

If you use a piece of flexi pipe it should stop the manifold from cracking.
