Any SZ4/5 owners fitted one of these? FORGE MOTORSPORT EXHAUST FOR SUZUKI JIMNY

Noticed this amongst possible exhaust upgrades. Would this work with the OEM tow bar and electrics, without fettling or adjustment?

Tried to find it on the Forge website but failed, just interested as I don't have a GEN5.

I tend to steer away from exhaust and induction upgrade "kits" as they deliver very little (if anything) on an unmodified engine. Sure they make it sound better (louder), but that tends to be it. Nothing wrong in wanting something different, but I would go for a custom made exhaust to achieve my desired looks. It's going to fit, be unique and generally are a better quality than mass produced items.

If you have a link post it up so people can take a look.

Not sure what the exhaust looks like and I can't see a link.

I would say, I really like how quiet the exhaust is on the Jimny. And they have a great intake growl. Normally I go for loud exhausts, but tbh 4 pot engines always sound a bit poor anyway.

Unless chasing HP, I'd stick with the standard one.

Scroll down at the bottomis video if you want to see AND hear.

Go to 4min to hear start and idle.

The price sure is steep (for me anyway)

£1100 for that!!!!!! :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink:

I suppose it does include the worlds most tasteless exhaust tip though. :lol:

I didn't think it would be cheap as the Forge [strike]cone filter and drain pipe[/strike] induction kit was expensive.
But blimey, that's expensive!
Get a custom made one if you want bling, it's going to be half the price. If you want to go off-road think hard about expensive exhaust systems, it is possible to damage it and that cheap mild steel replacement starts to make sense.

If I was thinking of changing the exhaust, I'd be going back to Demon Tweeks. I had one made by them for my last car (Toyota iQ). Cat back, custom made in house, choose your own tailpipe, tell them how loud you want it. All stainless steel with a lifetime warranty. Just under £300 I think it was.

It was spot on as well, at cruising speed it was no louder than standard, but give it full throttle it had just a nice sound and tone to it.

I like the bit just under the price tag where they ask how many you want. :woohoo:
Seriously though that is an expensive piece of kit that does not even give you an increase in power and the noise just attracts attention and for all the wrong reasons.

Forum proves its worth again. All good points.

Guessing it also puts a question mark over the warranty.

Not something I’ll be doing.

Massive improvement (well, as big as you'll get with a 1300) when I fitted a 4-2-1 manifold and a 2" sports cat system from Tony Banks on my Gen3. If the Gen4 is as choked by it's exhaust as the earlier cars, they will get a big benefit from a free flow.

Not just about more power but how you get what is there..... Pulls cleanly from 1500 rpm in 5th and yomps up hills in high gears too, a lot more drivable.....

How did you get on with the mot emissions test with this exhaust system fitted and the sports cat. Been thinking about going down the stainless route myself.

Hi Sniper, +1 on Skywalker's question.

I recall someone saying their first CAT collapsed and they simply removed to honeycomb, so only effectively had the second CAT for emission control. It appeared to be ok, but was not sure if it was subjected to UK testing.
So also interested if it's fine on a single CAT.
It does prompt the question why does the Jimny have two CATs?
