Hi, n00bie (forum and all things car!) here looking for advice.
I've got a 53 plate 172 with 22k on the clock. Last week the exhaust fell off . Took it to the local garage, and to save money they put on a new exhaust box and welded the old tail pipe onto this. They quoted me a little under £300 for the actual standard 172 exhaust, not including labour.
My problem now is that the exhaust is very loud, it sounds like a high performance chav nova. I find it really embarrassing pulling away at lights, even at low revs. Motorway driving simply gives me a headache!
I'd appreciate any advice in quietening the damn thing down, or anything I need to ask for at the garage. Do I need to simply take it back and shell out some more money and get the standard exhaust fitted? I'm not interested in any performance exhausts, I just want it back to how it was.
Thanks in anticipation.
