Exhaust

[bobbyb52]

Got a 1.8 2002 C5, the exhaust started blowing on the join of the back box and main pipe,took it to a "centre" to be told, new back box,main pipe and cat ! cost £450, apparently the cat is on the main pipe and you have to replace whole lot !

Any ideas, please!

When mine blew, they (Kwikfit) cut the pipe behind the cat and fitted a repair pipe and back box.

That was 2 years ago and it's been fine. Didn't cost anything like £450.

When at Kwik fit they ordered a " repair " pipe which is meant to be cut in after the cat, my car is pre 08/02 which means it won`t fit as there is a sensor about 1 foot after the cat, hence new system including cat,

However, local motor factors has come up with £275 fully fitted ! including cat, just for fun tried Citreon, genuine parts, fully fitted £1065.23 wow !!!!!!!!!
