    I don't know how true it is, but I've read that a lot of the Japanese branded exhausts are actually manufactured in Taiwan, shipped to Japan in bits, then packaged. Via a legal loophole they are able to market the final product as "made in Japan".

    Anyone else know anything about this?

    Nope I have not. Doubt it as the Japanese are stringent in quality and laws hence the quality.

    And that's just my point. You may get what you pay for, but why pay more when there are UK options that sound just as good, come with a local retailer and a warranty if there are any issues, and are a lot less? I'd feel much happier going to Mike @ TD if I had a problem than having to contact a Japanese or US manufacturer if something goes wrong after 13 months...

    OK I just stated a fact of better quality and craftsmanship. Well if your happy that's all that matters.

    I'm sure the T. D stuff is bang for buck, not taking anything away from Tuning developments. Their Turbo kit and exhaust options are certainly cost price and work well. 

    But think we derailed this. In terms of exhaust to call it a day let's just say to get what you pay for.

    Tuning Development's resonated catback is £576.

    Since Abbey Motorsport don't publish price on their website I can't do a direct check, but on Amber Performance the cheapest HKS exhaust is over £1100.

     

    Yes if your a bargain shopper. All I'm saying is its worth paying more for high end. Especially exhaust.

    And yet it's twice the price, getting support if something goes wrong is a royal pain, customs and import prices are ridiculous....

    Huh🤔Abbey Motorsports are a official trader of HKS. Buy from a UK trader my man. 1. There is a reason they cost more. 2. Twice the price is an exaggeration. A hundred or so yes.

    Imo if I was you I'd pay the premium and buy a Japanese exhaust over custom or U. K made ones. Miltek crack, cobra is just loud nothing else. With companies like HKS blitz etc you get far better quality crafted parts and R&D to back. Also you get a quality sound rather than out right loud. 

    Then again it all depends on your budget what look what sound you want. But quality is quality in my eyes. My HKS is perfect for the daily grind with nil issues.
