Jayton Posted April 26, 2010 Report Posted April 26, 2010 but it clearly says 'Highest quality' so surely it's got to be ossum? [/sarcasm] If you don't mind being a guinea pig ... :( Quote

Bare in mind that you have to get the middle section off the Cat.Just for gods sake if you need to replace to cat and get it done at an exhaust centre,make sure you take the old cat with you. Goto EMR or somwhere like that and put it on the scales,You should walk away with about Edited April 26, 2010 by tamworthleon Quote
ncb Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) The old centre section muffler part of the exhaust is cold for the bottom 2/3rd of the box and the top is a bit warm so I think it is blocked. I am getting low fuel economy which spurred me to investigate and find this out. Interesting thing is the garage took off the centre and back box off leaving only the front pipe and cat off too see if the economy would improve. The resulting noise is only a little louder noise than having the whole system on. I feel like leaving it off like this. :) Decided to take the cat out, ie de-cat the car when I fit the new exhaust. Anyway , the back section has been welded at some point and so I just ordered the cheap ebay centre and rear section exhaust hoping that at least those 2 bits will fit together. Shall let you know when it gets here. Cost = Edited April 28, 2010 by ncb Quote
marcostig Posted May 3, 2010 Report Posted May 3, 2010 got rear box other day quick post and as good/better as any other replacement part so very happy...and just Quote
ncb Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Posted May 6, 2010 Just got the centre section and back box rplaced with the cheapest ebay ones. The cheapie ebay ones I got from eternalcar were actually quite good. They weighed about just as heavy as the timax ones I took off. Also they were decently made with thick welding on all joints. They fittted perfectly, no leaks and didnt sound as if they were blowing or hollow like other cheap makes available locally to me. Thumbs up from me anyway. Quote
