Title: Quick exhaust question
Post by: Mikester on 09 March 2008, 16:24: I need to replace from teh Cat backwards.

If i buy the center box replacement pipe from volksbits

Along with a back box from somewhere.

Is that all i need, or is there any other pipes i need?

Ive been under it on ramps, if you touch the back box it wil fall off, the middle box has a huge tear in it. They both need replacing, so im thinking the joining parts need replacing too. AThought the cat looks all good, which is good thank god.
