Exhaust MG ZT Backbox

petey57 · 18th September 2009, 18:26

Hi just joined the forum and think its great lots of great stuff on here, ok i need a bit help and info!

Just got my MG ZT CDTi 2003 about 3 weeks ago after selling my VR4, the exhaust backbox doesnt look like it has long left so i rang powerflow and they quoted me £330 from the cat back which i thought was a bit expensive? and maybe there is an alternative?

I was wondering if there is any other direct fit exhaust systems or if anyone could give me any recommends or where to purchase the exhaust.

Depends where you are in the country, but there are plenty of companies doing SS exhausts now.

I am based in Sunderland (haway the lads) north east so any recommends near me would be appreciated.

It really depends on wether you intend hanging on to the car for a good while but a good quality stainless system although pricey will give you years & years of service & if I had a few more quid spare that's what I'd be doing.

Anyway since you're only in Sunderland do you fancy coming to Shildon on the 27th for a local meet????

Hi Petey - had the same problem when I got mine. I ended up having a
drive down to Rimmer Bros to pick up a back box. It was still slightly
cheaper compared with the two quotes I had locally. BTW - nice to have a fellow Mackem on site - where are you based (I'm in East Herra)
