Exhaust noise?
« on: 17 February 2012, 23:09:45 »
I've just had the downpipes incl the cats replaced on the partners 2.5 cdx(due to one of the cats rattling and blocking), the issue i have now is there seems alot of noise especially at 2/3k rpm, the parts wern't genuine but seemed ok and fitted well, is it just a case of them needing to coke up a bit for the car to be back to its nice quiet former glory?

There have been lots of posts about aftermarket CATs being pretty shoddy and noisy, I believe  :-\

Yes mate thats it, although its only really under load,don't really notice it when other halfs driving, must be me with old lead right foot  ;D  Although does seem a little quieter today so perhaps its just the being new and once a bit of carbon builds up it will be ok, its also loads better on fuel now with new cats and lambda's :y
