cat in my exhaust

Post by Minipug »

Hi all,

Took a trip to wales today and pulled up to find fur coming out my exhaust. I pulled it and after about 6 meters of the damn thing it ended. I presume its out of the backbox unless ive inhereted a rather large cat with a 6 meter tail.

So ... its made me look around for a new backbox but im after a particular one... I want a twin exit stainless steel jobbie. Its a 2l petrol exec. Anyone know where i can get one

Off the net preferable but not essential

Many thx

Oh noes.....that won't be pretty :| the 406 suits single tail pipes, oval especially :wink:

If your car in non-turbo then I wouldn't get a sports box unless you like droaning, booming, noises.

That's only the sound deadening anyway, what does it sound like without it?

It doesnt seem to sound any different to be honest.... but worried its breaking down and gonna block the exhaust. Tried to find a piccie of foxy's exhaust but had no luck... would love to see a piccie if anyones got one. i had a 205 with a big bore before and it was loud when i put my foot down but quiet when im cruising which is what i want. I know powerflow fabricate one but our powerflow providor (Mr Tyre) is a right dodgy place so not keen on going there.

where does everyone else get there big bores from (single or twin exit)

Cheers
