A bloody rip off!

Downpipe takes around 2 hours to fit and cost around £300 for a sports cat version.
Performance Panel Filter takes seconds to fit and will cost £50 tops (not worth it in my opinion)

So, even if they charge £100 an hour for fitting the parts, that's £1200 for a map session.

I assume they are just using the existing ecu?

same ECU so a rip then thought as much ! won't be going there then any suggestion where to go around cambs/ herts ?

was it def only downpipe? for full exhaust stage 1 its about right sort of price within £100 or so.

o also 350bhp is a tad on the optomistic side (assuming sti with standard vf35 here)

Tidgy

scratch that, just noticed its an rb320 lol

its not far off at all

JGM does a pretty damn good job! Should be under £400 for mapping!

£350 to £400 for an open source remap and should see same bhp results. the other crap mentioned is not needed but anengine rebuild might if you up the power on a 2.5 it cant take the power at standard levels

RB downpipe already flows faster (allegedly) than previous STis so sports cat is a waste of money

think the going rate for Ecutek licence and map is circa £550

Sounds like you have been quoted for a full, premium brand, exhaust system; eg a sports cat from Miltek is around double the price of a Cobra sports cat, the former being 100 cell, the latter 200 cell.....So not so far off the price that you were given. Post up what brand of exhaust and whether Ecutek or open source, and it will be easier to judge if it is a good price.

As your in cambs do as mattyb said and call Paul at Zen Performance, fuel pump and a remap will see those figures for a grand less.

£530 or a sports cat is very steep.
Scoobyworld do them for £300 as I recall.
