New Back Box

[hastd2]

The saga goes on.....
Went down again to the tyre & Exhaust fitters this morning and told him about cutting the pipe.
But when i looked at it this was not going to work, as there was no way that the bend of the new back box which goes over the rear axle will line up with the middle box
So then it dawned on me, this was not the original exhaust system on the car as it had a Powerflow fitted way back in 2001 so this was the reason for miss alignment.
So back on the phone to Venom Motorsports and ask him do Magnex do Cat > back box only, he said i will have to phone Magnex and wait till Monday till he finds out
I have looked up the Lifetime Guarantee and it does say it had the Powerflow Cat back fitted in 2001 :embarassed: So who's to blame, my self for not checking before ordering or Venom for not asking if it was the standard system or modified?
Have you guys had this problem or is it just me?

Well Hypermonkey that explains alot I have a Powerflow agent about 20 miles away and it was the agent who fitted the Powerflow way back in 2001. So as you said give them a try and see how i get on. I have only had the car 2 mth but have the Lifetime Guarantee stamped so i hope they can help me out.

Magnex do do the cat back part that will fit straight on, very solid piece of kit and will last forever. The one in the pics I posted had been on the car for a few years and done 30k but was as good as new.

If you have the £Â£s then I would defo suggest getting the Magnex centre as if you do decide to change pipes then you can sell the lot together....if not then make sure whoever cuts the pipe does it so it can fit onto a standard system or you may have probs in a resale.

Hope it gets sorted for you, and if we ever meet up I'll buy you a shandy or two as I do feel like a nob for not mentioning the fitment...totally forgot

Nae bother Hypermonkey Thanks for all the info but will see what Monday says
I am not blaming you for that wee mistake as it is easy done. I should have checked myself but there you go we are not all as good as each other...
Never mind, maybe will take you up on that shandy sometime if you are ever up across the Border up the Aberdeen way
Thanks again for you knowledge
