Has any one got one? If so, how easy was it to fit and how much of a difference did it make? Any feedback appreciated. 1997 1.8 HLX

Mine was already on the car!!!
They sound great, do you have a K&N? If so the 2 combined is a lovely sound!
Dont expect the exhaust to be that loud though! but you will still know its there!
A great exhaust system. Much better then satandard (on my old car) or a powerflow (also was fitted to old car!)

Good, I dont want it to be too loud, the K&N turns heads as it is! I suppose its no good asking you how much of a difference you felt in drivability compared to the stock system then?! Or how easy it was to fit for that matter!

well i have never had a stock system on this car! but on my old hlx i did...and when i put the powerflow on that it felt more responsive but not really any quicker! but you think you are going quicker because of the noise!lol...
I havent fitted a supersprint but the bravo is a bit of a dog for exhausts... the handbrake cables are in the way and there is a stupid rear rubber which is the most anoying thing made!
I would probably only cost £20-£30 to get it done, and to be honest it can be a pig of a job!

Hi
I have one on my 1.8 hlx. I got it fitted so don't know about fitting.
As Paul says not too intrusive on sound but if you go about 3500rpm make nice sound. Got a vid clip of exhuast tried to post it on here but didnt work. Should do no cos yahoo allows larger email attachments.

got one on mine, turns that purr into a roar when you boot it, but plenty subtle enough when cruising at low revs, not too bass droney (sp?)

Got one aswell, nice note, no noticable power gain/loss, went on easy as pie.

( Ot oh, it's nik about his Jetex again! 
)
I'm just dying to know what a Supersrint sounds like (pref wihtout the addition of a K&N) so I can compare it to my new Jetex (my K&N is still in box till i'm happy with my zaust).
Most people say of their performance zausts that they get a bit too loud on the motorway making long drives unpleasant (like my mates SLK). Tis the exact opposite with my Jetex. Cruise below 70 in 4th or 5th and there's this annoying din, but get the revs above 3,5K and its bliss.
Garage fitted narrower gauge insert yesterday..took it out on the open road..resonance still there. Garage had admitted to me (after I started complaining), they used universal components (silencer & back-box etc) to comprise my exhuast, since Jetex didn't actually spec a particular one for Bravo's (though I noticed yesterday that Halfords do have one listed for Jetex actually, so I've asked them to look into it for me)
I STILL do not understand why so many back boxes are supposed to be incompatible with our bravos. So long as it will fit the space and the gauage of pipes can be matched (if reducing the back pressure / easing the flow is all you need to improve performance) what is to stop you fitting any old back box ???? since the std one has the snake charm pipe coming over the top, theres loads of room to accomodate an aftermarket replacement..
Of 10 or more different ones I asked about, the supersprint one were the only one that did a back box (or cat-back for that matter) for the Bravo, but when the shop rang to check that it would suit my HGT, Supersrint said that I'd need an additional centre piece too, putting the price up to 370 from 299!!

Re: ( Ot oh, it's nik about his Jetex again! )
I have a Supersprint system on my 1997 Bravo HLX. I love it although it sounds ten times better after 20 mins driving when its nice and warmed up. From cold mine can sound a bit 'raspy' at times.
And i love the way the logo's engraved onto the tailpipes. Pure class.

Re: ( Ot oh, it's nik about his Jetex again! )
Thanx for all your feedback people, I think I'll fit it myself then Tom. From looking at the supersprint website, us 1.8's are supposed to gain 6KW from the cat-back system alone, surely this is too much?! If its tru then surely it would be noticable?

Re: ( Ot oh, it's nik about his Jetex again! )
Can anyone also tell me whether or not it would be worth my time getting the Supersprint front exhaust (replaces cat) £95 (813902). How much difference to sound AND performance am I looking at?
DanZ
P.S. Can NO-ONE babble on about how it aint worth my time because of .5hp and fines as I know all this, I want practical driving differences anyone has actually felt. THANK YOU!!!

Hi JonD, can you send me vid clip on the e-mail? I am close to buy supersprint exhaust and I am very interested to hear sound of the exhaust.

Fitted mine last week
On a 1.2 sx - leave the handbrake off while its jaced up and ckock the wheels - that was u can disconnect the cable from the mountings and get enough slack to feed the system through!
Took me a fair few hrs but id do it again now in no time!
