I need a cheap replacement for my track car, Cat Back and cheap.

This is actually cheaper than the renault system.

But I don't want it loud, needs to be under 94db (track use)

Moochas Grassy ass.

Oh, and sound for the advice on the mount, Mechanic packed it out with some washers like you said and its sweet as a nut now!!

 

[Dan@SJM]

s**t!

I've never had one but Toms_CUP had one and it lasted about 2 days on his car.

Sound was shite

 

[Dan@SJM]

Mine sounded ok i thought...
Admittedly they do take a while to start sounding good, i.e about a week or 200ish miles.

It takes a little while to sound-better, but for the price-you can't exactly grumble!
