#1: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:17 pm ---- Hi can people who've got the janspeed exhaust on their 180 help me with a couple of questions, firstly how does it sit properly regarding the rubber mounting points as from the pics I've seen it doesn't look like it sits the same as the standard exhaust(the length of the bumper)
Second are their places where you get these fitted or just buy one from eBay and fit myself?
Third and last question, how do they sound and any increase in responsiveness? I'm not expecting alot of bhp just curious as to whether it feels smoother, already got a panel filter fitted, thanks in advance for answering any of the above
#2: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:19 pm ---- Think Scorpion is the better option
#3: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:20 pm ---- not notised any speed tbh, sounds the dogs bolox, ecos mint, pops a lot, i never fitted mine but any garage can do it and you can even do it your self its literally a remove the old one fit the new one job
#4: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:25 pm ---- Cheers for the swift replys guys, why's scorpion better? Also I don't mind fitting it myself and my stepdad works for Peugeot so he will help me, just wondered what the situation was with the hangers on the exhaust as like I said it doesn't go across the bumper it follows the length of the car like the exhaust on the gti 138
#5: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:28 pm ---- Just from what I've read in the past, people preferred Scorpion and they saw better improvements on performance.
#6: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:31 pm ---- scorpion is better for performance, but not by enough for me have gave up the sound and looks of the janspeed, plus the janspeed is a lot lighter than the scorpion so that 0.1bhp it probably gains wont mean to much
#7: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: E5GDM, Location: EssexPosted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:33 pm ---- I Loved my Janspeed, so much better than the Scorpion. It's got great looks & a lovely sutle noise. Can't say I noticed an increase in responsiveness or any thing else. The local tyre & exhaust centre fitted it for £50.
#8: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:50 pm ---- I will fit it myself, I think I will be going for the janspeed, can anyone enlighten me regarding the hangers for the rubber mounts?
#9: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 5:00 pm ---- Compare to PS, those are just little toy for kids

It will just fit on the stock mounts.
#14: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: Schumi, Location: Istanbul / TurkeyPosted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 2:44 am ---- If you are looking best performance exhaust for gti180 that is definitely France made Madac GrupN exhaust. But sound like a monster. To loud for street use.
I like my janspeed. Also like pops and chops sounds. It is lighter than scorpion and and stock one. If you want more power and more sound just decat it.

Already had one and did see on the RR lost torque and gain'd 1 BHP.
It does make it load though and it stinks of petrol.
#18: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: Lee., Location: Blackwood, South WalesPosted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 2:54 am ---- Yes I loved my Janspeed, sounded great and tbh you won't see a difference in performance (nobody can feel 1-2 bhp on 170!)
It's easy to fit, took me ten minutes with the car jacked up! The janspeed matches up to the existing mounts although I did have to tweak and fettle mine a bit to make it perfect against the bumper (in which it sits perfectly!)
Buy it, you wont regret it!!
#19: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 2:57 am ---- The Janspeed sounds awesome especially to other road drivers when one is bombing past you over 100mph. *cough* Not directed at anyone in particular in this thread *cough*
And in the tunnel at FCS in 2010, popping and stuff made me wish I had one! lol.
#20: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 3:05 am ---- soundwise is bloody awesome when its hot it pops and crackles lovely and the sound isnt too loud i do quite a bit of long distance driving and it isnt too obtrusive
fitwise il be honest it did take me quite a while of tweaking and bending the mounts to get it to fit right but now its in the right place its spot on

PM me if you want more info, the OP is asking about the Janspeed cat back not a de-cat.
#24: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 5:28 am ---- Cheers for the responses guys, not interested in major gains just yet I was just wondering if anyone thought that when they fitted it the car felt more responsive, I will be getting one, decent tyres first though as the car I bought has budgets on and although they're brand new it felt very unsafe in the wet this morning!

Some expensive tyres feel dangerous in the wet too haha, my Parada spec 2's feel a bit iffy but if you don't drive like a d**k then you'll be fine, In the dry they're the best tyres i've ever used. In regards to the Janspeed I didn't feel any gains with just the exhaust but once I added the race cat I did.
#26: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 5:35 am ---- These dont feel good in the dry, and even when driving slow into sharp corners the car was understeering like fook, budget tyres are utter s**te
#27: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: JE_180, Location: WiltshirePosted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 5:39 am ---- To be fair I've never been brave enough to use budget tyres lol
#28: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 5:41 am ---- Janspeed is lighter and sounds better, best investment I made TBH. And it rawrs
#29: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 5:42 am ---- They came on the car, the rears are autoguard, and the fronts are radial!!!! Absolute dogshit lol

#31: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: JE_180, Location: WiltshirePosted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 5:44 am ---- You'll have a hard job finding some Toyo Proxes at the moment too as there's a shortage in the supply chain (according to our local dealership).
#32: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 5:44 am ---- eBay is my friend lol
#33: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: JE_180, Location: WiltshirePosted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 5:44 am ---- But then you have to pay for fitting
#34: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 5:46 am ---- My dad works at Peugeot......doesn't cost me anything to balance and fit

Decat is illegal in the UK as the 180 wont pass the emmisons test with the cat removed.
Will fail the MOT & also fail any VOSA / Police roadside spotchecks.

That pretty much goes without saying, people decat for either performance gains or the sound. Generally no one gives a toss about emissions when they fit one.
#46: Re: Gti 180 janspeed question Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 6:26 am ---- I wouldn't do anything to the car that made it not pass it's mot

It is lighter than scorpion and and stock one. If you want more power and more sound just decat it.
