Need a New Exhaust

Parker · 6th August 2011, 14:56

Exhaust started blowing yesterday but in fairness was given an advisory last MOT a 12 month ago and by Lates at the last service.

Any recommendations and costs welcomed!

Will need to get it done in the next week or so ready for the MOT, the cat was changed 2 years ago so it's the rest of the system - not cheap I suspect

Thanks Mark I've put some calls in to local fitters too. Maybe a bit noisy at the meet

Make a few phone calls to independent fitters,non original equipment can be picked up at reasonable prices.The life of these parts is a bit questionable.

If your keeping the car i would recommend a cat back stainless steel system..

Fitted a cheaper non original back box to a 1.8 and it was noisier, but did the same on my diesel and it was as quiet as the original. (neither were blowing just corroded)
