The first aftermarket exhaust I bought was Magnex.

Full exhaust and manifold for a 205GTI - the manifold was stunning!

At work we've just been told Veco and Lancer Products Ltd have both gone bust in the last month. Both sold just standard replacement parts/accessories, but both had been in the business quite awhile.

I'm expecting news of Ripspeed going into liquidation any time soon.

Don't count on it. They seem to target the "yeah mate, got like firty squid in my pocket. Fancy a trip dan 'alfords to see what pukka gear I can get for my ride like?" brigade.

Unfortunately, they'll probably be the last to go under
