E86 3.0si Aftermarket Exhaust/Backbox

Post by Abbas » Wed Feb 21, 2024 2:21 pm

Can't hurt to put it out there :)

Wondering if anyone has an aftermarket exhaust/backbox they're thinking about parting with? I know it's slim pickings really for a good brand for an exhaust. Would be open to find out about a custom one aswell if anyone is selling or does anyone in here make and supply them?

Iif anyone's got an Eisenmann, Supersprint or Bastuck one they want to part with, I'd definitely love to hear more also!

If you also have recommendations for garages to go to, to get a good custom one done then that would be amazing too. I'm based in West Yorkshire but don't mind driving out a couple of hours if it's worth it. Ideal budget would be around £500 max

Cheers!

Try JP in Congleton https://www.jpexhausts.co.uk/

When I bought my latest zed, it had a back box delete :thumbsdown: that they had done for the previous owner. A nice job though - it was fitted with a two-bolt flange, not just welded on. I provided them with a replacement back box (OEM but internally fettled) which they fitted for me, along with matching flange. So I can now swap between OEM box and box delete quite easily should I ever wish to.

They make custom systems, and did a stainless system for the Mustang belonging to that guy off Car SOS (Not Fuzz, the tall one :idunno: )

Thanks for the recommendation mate! How does your fiddled with backbox sound? As this is something I'm considering. Along with a mid-resonator delete, which was recommended on here separately. So an exhaust specialist probably isn't a bad place to go

I have a full stainless system, as new. Off an E86 3.0 N52.

Where are you to?

Nice :D
Really makes it sound like it should, without being too much drone or too loud.

It was done by Mike at Zedshed in Burtonwood - quite a few have one of his 'DLV' boxes. Though I guess JP could do similar.

Very tempted to do this actually! Affordable mod aswell. I've only just bought the car a few months ago so don't want to throw loads of money at stuff which I'd have to probably sell separately to get some of my money back if/when it comes to sell it.
