need help with my exhaust


Recommended Posts

i wonder if anyone can help, since i have had my car the exhaust has sounded terrible, the reason for this is the rear box is totaly hollow, on the last m.o.t the emmisions just scraped through so i will be needing a new cat too, the system is only a 2 peice one, front pipe with cat.. and rear box.

 

after market cats sound tinny and hollow on most of the german cars, and an orriginal from mercedes is close to £1000 (full system) top gear in st albans said they could replace the cat with a hi-flow sports cat and build me a full system for £550. i was just wondering if anyone knows how relaible these cats are or there are others i should get before taking the car to get the rest of the system done

 

cheers

ok change of plan..

 

im now going to buy a performance cat and fabricate the pipework myself as i have found an elbow shaped link that is almost new, i just have to cut my old front pipe, weld in the elbow and extend it, weld in the cat and connect it to the rest of the system,

 

top gear cat price = £300 fitted

 

dan price, cat = £100 fitted

 

bargain!
