Ashley Competition Exhausts has been a bit busy recently bringing out two new products. The first is a performance manifold for the VR6. It's been designed to fit both the Golf and the Vento and, apparently, is ideal for cars in the Vento challenge race series. The manifold is constructed in a 6-2-1 configuration and has a 2.5" outlet. To fit your VR6 up with one of these will set you back £352.50.

Its second new product is the motorbike style carbon back-box. The silencer is 16" long, comes in two sizes and has stainless steel internals with polished stainless steel ends. It is designed to go on he most lightweight racing an sprint cars, but could be made to fit almost any model of car. For prices and availability get in touch with the guys on 01922 720767.
