Title: here.s one for you g
Post by: mick-1975 on 13 July 2013, 23:54:04

I have just came out from the pub mind you not drinking as driving . Anyway walked to the car and I could see something on the floor from the rear . After close inspection looked like false hair coming from the exhaust . I pulled it all out . Am I right in saying that that should not be there . And that it was from inside the exhaust somewhere ?

Exhaust baffles collapsed. Means rest of it is buggered too really, could be blocked so not helping performance.

Time for a new cat back one, try Eternal around £120 cat back (for V6, £75 4Pot) with double walled centre sections  :y

To be fare the exhaust looks like new still . Silencers are Clearwater not really rusted like normal . X.

Well the back box is defo shagged, it's often a nightmare separating back box from centre sections.

So just easier to replace whole lot  :y

Should be ok, but don't count on it for long stuff. Pulling away it could easily go bang and blast a new hole in the centre/back box  :y
