Janspeed modification

Hi all,

Is anyone else's janspeed tail pipes a bit wonky.

I've looked into getting them sorted, but cost has put me off. Full day labour and new tips isn't cheap. Managed to straighten them to a degree but still annoy me.

:help:
 
They never sat bang in the middle of the holes or sat level but nothing extreme although annoying. Just like many others I have seen of different makes. It's been on and off a few times now with a bit of prodding to line it up.

It's never really bothered me because although the photo straight down makes it look bad it doesn't stand out that much. That and I've always said I'd change the tips to bigger ones.
 
Hi Iain. Still no movement on u no what :approve: being as you altering your exhaust have you seen my post any thoughts mate ?
 
That puts a different opinion in my other thread then ! If that's how Janspeed send there boxes out then I wouldn't want one :-( sorry Iain I couldn't live with that mate.

Craigy - there are x2 Janspeed products:
Original Janspeed
&
Spike Janspeed

Not sure what Iain is sporting, nor how it ended up like that... bent collector pipes or shoddy backbox fabrication Iain?
 
I am distressed looking at this, is this one that i have supplied, it certainly would not have gone out like this, if this has been done in transit let me have it back to be repaired, why was nothing said? i have spoke to Iain and he has never mentioned anything was wrong.
This is not representative of the quality of exhaust that i am supplying, if you need any reassurance P.M. me please.
 
Craig, this is not representative of the quality that is supplied by Spike's systems. As you will see on yours Kett (eventually) the workmanship is spot on and you will not get a better noise for the money either. I have heard and had a few boxes on my vee's and this is by far the best.

In hindsight my original post could have been worded/explained better and should have been more generic to any exhaust and modifying them.. I have had this box off a few times now but only after the recent big service did I decide to straighten the tailpipes out a bit. Clearly I have bent something along the way with my big hands [smilie=icon_cry.gif]

So to clarify It did not come to me like this nor give me any reason to complain/ask for another.

Like Spike said already if it's not right for whatever reason be it transit or manufacture then it will be rectified.
 
Super duper [smilie=yay.gif] that's cleared that one up ! Back on my shopping list ! Could I just ask - there is a full system or just the back box does the full system make a better noise or is it just the box that makes it sound nice :-) would I be silly NOT to go for the full system ? I have limits on budget so would prefer just the box due to cost :( sorry about my knowledge !

These are the same questions I wanted to ask for a while now.
Pretty interested in the system as the oem exhaust starts to bore me.
 
The full system is 'Janspeed original' and can include sports cats. All very expensive, supposed to pass an Mot, but causes an emissions hazard warning on dashboard. Performance improvements are negligible. Ph1 and Ph2 compatible.

Spike Janspeed is backbox only and makes a nice noise without the hassle and without massive expense. Ph2 only.
 
Cheers Kett :approve: that's cleared that up too ! I have read thread on here ref Spike is it still contact via pm or is there a web site ?
 
PM / Spike has been frequenting the forum actively in recent weeks (but failing that I can furnish you with his phone number).
 
Thanks again Kett :salut: at least I know what to get and where from [smilie=thanks.gif] I just need to save some pennies to pay for it.! Still waiting to sort my pods which will cost a bit :(
 
Spike Janspeed is an incredible exhaust,they've really nailed it, really throaty from the outside, and yet in 6th on a cruise it's no louder than standard, just amazing!

Thanks for the input Kett, If I am away for a spell I have no issues with you giving my phone no out, I really do appreciate it.
