Back Box 3.0 V6

[Dannyjay]

Just thought i would mention that if anyone has got a 3.0 v6 C5 and your are unlucky enough for the back box to go, i would not recomend you getting a standard replacement because one very few people stock them and second they are super expensive. prices ranging from around 600 to 1000 pounds shocking and thats just a back box.

 

SO the best bet is to get one made for you thats what i did by long life, it took them just over 2hrs to make and it sounds great and cost just over £200 ok i know its not cheap but alot cheaper than getting one pre made from a motor factors. And was quoted just over £400 for the whole system so good to know in the future. :D

Maybe a few details as to where the firm is and even a contact number

Yeah sorry! there are long life centres all over the country, this is the comapny that all the boy racers use. The one i used was in Swansea the address is

Longlife Exhausts. Cwmdu Industrial Estate, Carmarthen Rd, Gendros, Swansea, West Glamorgan SA5 8JF Tel: 01792 586888 .

I hope this helps, what i forgot to mention was that you can choose the tone and sound you would like and also the size of the bore too, which is great.

cheaper to fit a performance back box also look at what other cars like the XM 3.0 if would fit,

 

cheapest has to be eBay

I had to replace my back box about 2 months ago. I was horrified with the price of the Citroen one and tried to find a 'performance' copy (but couldn't). Got a pattern silencer in the end for about £400 which was bad enough.

 

Anyone found anywhere that does the pre-cats?

 

I have the traditional 'anti-pollution device failure' which the garage tells me is one failed pre-cat and one intermittent pre-cat. They're both around £350 each.

I'm not 100% sure if they do pre cats in long life but they did quote me a price for the whole system before with out a cat.

 

However my father has a C5 estate 2.0 HDI 2002 model and he also went there for a back box because it was by far cheaper and also don't forget that it has a life time warrenty. But they did tell him that they do make cats there too! It might be worth a shot like.
