Title: Anyone used EMP Performance?
Post by: Georrge on March 16, 2015, 11:56:09 am: Hi all,

It's about time I upgrade my exhaust and get an aftermarket system. I know a lot of members on here go for the BCS systems, and that there is currently as group buy going on, but it's still a bit too pricey for my liking.

I've heard quite a lot of good things about the custom exhausts done by EMP, and they're only 25 minutes from me! They quoted me £350 for a cat back system, including fitting and lifetime warranty.

Has anyone on here gone to them and can tell me what they're like? Ideally I want someone to show me a video of the sound, couldn't find anything on YouTube..

Thanks! :smiley:

Pretty good, can't reallly complain.
An exhaust is just an exhaust, generally all sound roughly the same.

Yeah that's what I was thinking.. How much better can a Miltek actually be haha. I suppose it's like a lot of things, you pay extra for a brand name.

Post by: Georrge on March 24, 2015, 06:11:15 pm: Yeah I had a look on Google maps :laugh:
Do you think my old exhaust will fit in the car with the seats down? I don't know how I'm going to get it home otherwise :signLOL:

Post by: Horatio on March 24, 2015, 10:16:39 pm: If its just cat back it should fit I would have thought, or Addison Lee taxi???

Post by: Georrge on March 26, 2015, 10:22:54 pm: I managed to get my old cat back home no problem, was a bit of a tight fit but it worked!
Really pleased with the outcome, again they asked me what sort of noise I was after, told them nothing stupid loud, just something subtle but noticeable, but goes off when I put my foot down; they got it spot on! :laugh:

Post by: StuF on March 27, 2015, 03:47:27 pm: Looks like a great price for the workmanship - did you get them to remove the pre-cat whilst you were having the work done?
I am considering the drive down from Lincoln to get one of their exhausts! How long did it take to fabricate and fit?
Looks awesome :happy2:

Post by: ruhaleali on June 08, 2015, 10:56:14 am: Awesome! Got your exhaust done.. But BCS in my opinion from hearing the lot armytrix, remix, ipe etc sounds the dogs bollocks. My bcs turns heads every single time I put my foot down. I understand the price was a little issue hear, but obviously if you have the budget id recommend BCS. But EMP performance sound like they do a really good job!
