i found them on ebay after buying my blueflame i was gutted sounds very nice indeed, only thing is i think i would be public enemy number one with the neighbours mine burbles at 6.30 in the morning as it is
Wow that sounds awesome, where did you buy yours and how much are they to have fitted? I was going to go to blueflame next week to finally get mine done but now Ive heard that ive changed my mind
Thanks just checked out the website, it says it removes the cat, Im guessing that means that to fit it you have to remove the cat. Im not sure I can do that with mine as its a k reg and hence I think it would fail the mot?
can be a bit of a pain to fit grinder and hacksaw come in handy, took me a little while to do but it was p1$$ing down with rain when i fitted mine, my exhaust was fubared anyway had more holes in it than a teabag, their was a post on here lately about a guy who was trying to have his exhaust fitted and thay would not touch it went to a few garages aswell, he found one in the end as he didnt fancy doing it himself quite expensive i bet, im a tight git so anything i can do myself i will wife and two kids and that, fitted a backbox to wifes car a while ago only took me 30 mins bargain off ebay £30 job done.
i would say if your not to bad with a spanner you will be fine ramps are a must, im a big lad and just got under the car unless of course you are small hight makes it a lot more easier
hmmm mines ok i dont have to have a cat on mine only by months i think
after seeing one last week and hearing that i'm very tempted by one, dont understand all this talk of exhaust fitting hassle, with plenty of release spray left to work for a good 5 minutes and some elbow grease my old exhaust flew off, i've changed my exhaust twice since and it really is an easy job, no need for ramps just chock the front wheels and lift the back straight off the subframe split the undo the flange at the bottom of the downpipe then do the mounts from behind th car one side at a time, no harder than changing a wheel
you was just lucky ive read loads of post's on here where people have had nightmares took me in total about an hour and half, ive got to put this on yet not looking forward to that
oh and give you idea of what my old exhaust looked like cat on left was my rev 2 what i removed and cat on right is a rev 1 cat i bought off a guy on here for £20
