Jaz 350z Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Cobra Exhaust... Im in Coventry, if you are interested in hearing mine i could come and show you. I have a Cobra full cat back system with HFC's. I think Wendy, who is also from the midlands, has an Invida gemini...... Quote
.Griff. Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Place in Wallsal called MIJ Performance Having lived in Walsall all my life, knowing a bunch of their customers and having used MIJ myself I'd avoid them at all costs. Absolute bunch of cowboys. My 172 Cup failed it's MOT a few years ago as the back box was corroded. Rather than replace it with an OEM part I went to MIJ. They asked what style tip I wanted (Hidden behind rear bumper like the OEM exhaust) and how noisy I wanted it (low). A few hours later I picked up the car and felt embarrassed to drive it. I complained the next day and the manager who was absent the day before agreed it was ridiculously loud and they did the work again with better results. Fast forward two years and it failed the MOT again. MIJ don't use any clamps and use welds instead. This time it failed as exhaust gases were leaking from their weld and the MOT tester showed me exactly how bad of a job they'd done. Having a "lifetime" warranty I went back to MIJ who tried to deflect any responsibility at first before agreeing to re-weld the joint. I sat there for two hours before they told me they'd done the work and I could finally leave. At the MOT retest I was called in to look at the car and they showed me where MIJ has used silicone sealant to "bodge" the old weld, a job that took them 30 seconds.

Grundy Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Sorry to hear that, This is the 2nd car I've taken to them, and not had one problem with each kit. Quote
14N Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I think Wendy, who is also from the midlands, has an Invida gemini...... Wendy has a K1 (unless she's changed it in the last month), the same as me. If the OP is after an ARK or Invidia, I don't think the K1 would be on his wish list. Come to the meet on 7th June, I'm sure there'll be a variety of exhaust configurations there Quote
nissanman312 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Posted April 29, 2014 Thanks guys I'll be in Scotland on that day unfortunately I'll be at the next one without a doubt. 👠Is your cobra the new one that's come out or is that not out yet? Quote

MITZ@CougarStore Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Oh and Hype above has had the 370z Cobra system from us too, he's Midlands based too... Quote
