    Just bought a Honda vti prelude (98) as a runaround until summer as the astra is going on fri to the first viewer :)

    Car is totally standard apart from cd player & xenons.

    I'm wanting to put a quietish back box on it to make it sound abit better but not spending a fortune for full system as its just be a nice wee runabout and possibly different airfilter kit. (this my first Honda and don't no what other model parts fit mine)

    As above and any other bits recommended, what suit best? And were to get?

    Cheers, joe

    Try Street Racer in Bangor, he is superb for prices and you could see that it's not that dear to get a full system!

    I put Powerflow exhausts on a few Hondas I had, no complaints at all. One even survived the car being stolen and burnt out, and got re-used (y)

    Standard twin pipe looks crap lol instead doin decat thinking killing two birds with 1 stone and using some kind of backbox. Would a civic/integra one fit if one was advertised?

    Cheers for the feedback guys

    There were more than one powerflow supplier when I got mine, this was years ago. £300 for a full system iirc.

    dont they come with a lifetime guarantee? i got a full system on a gti swift in 2001 for around £250 still going strong even though the cars been parked up for years, excellent value for money.

    Maybe so mate but I drive my cars for few months so lifetime warranty means nothing to me :p

    Getting a branded sports box put on tomorrow discounted in tru-fit, hopefully turns out well.

    Anyone know where to get yellow fog lights for off road use only obviously?

    Why for offroad? I'm pretty sure they're road legal (provided they're used correctly). I've been meaning to fit a set of yellow aux lamps to the Jeep, supposed to be great for poor weather driving (drizzle, fog, snow, etc).

    If yours already has foglights, just buy the bulbs, as you can get them handily :) Or just retrofit a set of fogs/bulbs :)

    You could just use yellow lamix if you cant get bulbs.

    My bros Lude 2.2 sounds awesome with full system and decat, im not sure what brand it is though.

    Just putting back box on it as it's just a runaround and wanted to take the back look of the rear with the standard twin exhaust.

    Where in Belfast sells yellow bulbs?

    Could try phoning JK Autospares? Or any motorfactors like Motoglass/Euro Car Parts?

    Wouldnt really think they'd be something they'd get a lot of business for so you might be better ordering online?
