Quick exhaust question
« 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?

Cheers, i need to decide what to do with my exhaust, as im probably going to sell?

So should i just get a standard middle and rear box fitted?

so any ideas on price? Ive seen the boxes for abour £30 each of gsf, how much would some1 charge to fit this you think?

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.
