That'll be the back box that needs changing. Probably best to change everything, cat back to be honest

Yep, eternalcar - £119 delivered. I don't use them via ebay though - I use their website, www.eternalcar.com

"Horse Hair" could block the exhaust.

Watch this doesn't cause the backbox to split, and melt a hole in the petrol tank  ;D ;D ;D

Mine had a 50' tail following me down the road one day.  Pulled it out and then it started to slowy block the back box.  Went on a run and drove as normal, all of a sudden, loss of power, no lights came up on the dash, got to the nearest village, realised there was a little bit of power there and tickover was fine, but just wouldnt rev, decided to carry on to my mates, nice long straight road, so thought kill or sure time (Thought I had a dirty fuel problem) set off 10% throttle car picked up slowly but seems to struggle to get to 40, so sports mode and floored it, seemed to take ages to gets to 60 as if it was accelerating up a 45% gradient, some where arround 65 it seems the back box just exploded, big brown dust cloud and the car just squatted down like a 911 and took off. (were you givimg yours somes beanz at the time james  ::) ) Car then ran like a dream till I bought the Elite and sorned the GLS

If the backbox has failed, chances are that the middle sections haven't long to go, so just change in one hit :y

i got the last two boxes of ebay.fr, for 83€ with delivery from germany.
that was with the fitting kit as well. good fit with minimal jiggling to get into place. little tip, sounds daft... when you fit the new system put a little silicone sealer around the tube then assemble. the exhaust gets hot of cause but never burns the silicone off :D. should 'nt leak of course but it helps a little.
