What performance exhaust is the best

Guys thx for all the advice. I got a place in Koeberg road who is going to built me a custom system. Thx again for all the advice.
Good. But please get some reviews from other customers and of possible. Check some and hear them of you haven't already done so.
 
Ill do that thx. First going to do my homework
Yip, take it from someone who made the expensive mistakes. Buying cheap or fast means buying twice so rather get the info upfront. No rush to do these things.
 
Without NOS or force induction, you're not going to get big power gains if that is what you're after.

I think 11kw with an exhaust, intake, and ECU is realistic but that's as far as it goes for a 1.4 unless you go on one of the above routes which will need you to redo everything anyway.

I'd still do it just for the sound and slightly more nippy feel.

As far as where to get an exhaust, I'd look for a custom niche specialist. The Ford forum is probably a good place to get referrals. I wouldn't recommend having a commercial exhaust put on as they try to cater for a 1 size fits all segment so something is always short to your preference. You can go with a Powerflow creation but again, they work with what works on most cars, not necessarily your car. I know because I did this and I was happy until I took it out and got a custom built exhaust built by someone who only works on my specific car from a dedicated car forum and it was miles ahead in every aspect and they built it to suite my taste, and coincidentally cheaper. the visual appeal of the Powerflow exhaust looked cooler and fancy but the custom one had much better visual workmanship yet it was a lot more work and joins etc.

I just deleted a massive 4 paragraph reply to your post on how mod UNfriendly the NA Duratec motor is, and I was talking in an ST sense, not even the 1.4 or 1.6. But then I decided it wasn't worth it.

The only thing I will say is....... don't bother going to http://www.fordstownerssa.co.za . All you will get there is people that slam you for not owning an ST, and even more VAG, BMW and Opel drivers who will just slam you for owning a Ford. I'm still a member there, but that forum isn't even close to what it used to be 3 or 4 years ago. Try http://www.capestowners.net , at least they are local to you and will hopefully give you actual advice as opposed to a ribbing simply for owning a specific brand.

I don't think that forum was ever anything to write home about. A few nice chaps on there but mostly a bunch of arrogant airheads.

I dunno, when I first joined about 6 years ago, it was a wealth of information, people willing to help and give advice as well as regular meet ups. There are a few guys left that are still trying, but they're failing. The rest of the good guys have either changed brands or decided that they'd had enough of the crap and just went silent.
 
Wow, just amazing to read all your comments about car modifications!
You guys certainly know your stuff. Modding vape gear must seem like childsplay in comparison. Lol

Hehe, that was my 2nd last obsession before vaping @Silver. Plants were in between and fish before that.

Yes buddy it is Brandon from Profit. A lot of ppl are talking good about his work.
 
When Brandon himself is around the work is good. His staff on the other hand catch on kuk when he isn't so make sure you inspect all the work before you leave
 
brandon built my exhaust on my 2lt stroker mk1 with side drafts. was extremely happy when i left
 
As the other guys have mentioned here, there's no replacement for displacement.

I also used to frequent that ST forum but haven't been on in ages, it used to be a great place to get information, but that kinda changed with the chirps and brand bashing...

I think I should get some work done to my car, it's about time
