Ashley exhausts...

[FlashCadillac]

What a load of toss!

 

bought a new 2" single box ashley system from burton, its swank!

 

If you fit it out of the packageing the bit that goes over the axle goes over the diff, the tail section goes diagonal under the boot to bring the tip out at the wrong side of the car at an anal angle and the rear hanger is no where near...

 

the guy fitting my new gearbox has had to cut every bend off and re weld it all! It's just shit!

 

burtons suck too

 

 

rant over.

LOL, ease your passion mate

 

Yep I agree, Ashley pipes do suck arse. I had to almost totally modify the manifold on the Anglia, but sayng that, it was for a Cortina.

Jeesus Mark, what stone have you been living under? You get what you pay for bro.

they cheap. they are amde cheap. PLR systems are just as cheap and badly fitting...sound nice though

[4parajon]

Cant believe with over 3000 posts you have only just found out that there a poor fit, there's at least 1 post every week about them or PLR

[timmy4doors]

are they a good system to have? power wise i was thinking of getting rid of mine for a powerflow stainless jobbie

[antz]

id go for a stainless personally.

 

im just waiting until i can muster up the cash to get a janspeed s/s jobbie for mine

I've got a full 2 1/4" system, 4 into 1 big bore race manifold and 2 1/4" single box system,

 

Didn't have the ability to join the two pieces together so a center band had to be made and the rear bracket didn't fit or line up

 

BUT.............. Sounds great and flows well, and there not the most expensive,

[marky4]

once fitted they do sound great

Considering there quality in terms of fitting and manufacture is very poor the power they give is excellent. A few of the top engine builders use them.

[FlashCadillac]

i know what your saying about how many people say they are bad.... but i didnt realise they were this bad!

 

i had a week to change the engine, gearbox and exhaust,

 

there arnt many you can just buy off the shelf, i didnt realise they were this much out of shape, its more like a bloody universal exhaust... one exhaust fits nothing

[jamesmk1]

i have had two one that had to be cut up to fit and the other was a good fit

[X-pack-Glyn]

Is this for the capri or escort, if its for the capri sounds like they have given you a mk2/3 system which dont fit the mk1 at all, been there done that

I've just seen a post on Turbosport by a lad called meXEco who bought one of the new 105Speed Escort exhausts, if its anything like my Cortina one the fit will be spot on, reading the post they are available in 2", 2.25" and 2.5" with outlets on either side of the car for pinto or crossflow and the prices seemed cheaper than Janspeed

i just fitted a 21?4 system and Ashley manifold on the Wagon , no probs .

 

( Except extendng the over axle pipe by 5 inches to clear the fuel tank ...even the rear box mount still lined up...)

 

And....ooooh....it does sound nice

Mine was the same mate for the Escort! Sean at Merit tyres in Bookham Surrey (Got the mk1 rs 2000 estate) did a fine job of altering the whole thing so it now fits. It didn't even have a bracket for the rubber hanger by the axle. Next time I'll have one made!
