The exhaust back box on my 172 fell off last night, I got a few quotes this morning, from £180 to £90 and settled on the one for £90 inc fitting which was the cheapest. Had it done in the afternoon and when i drove it away it was really loud, almost like there wasnt a back box on there. I took it into Kwik Fit and the guy in there knew what he was on about, he got it on the ramp and pointed out that the original box was 'square-like' and the one they put on was a cheaper round one. Even though it was meant for the car, he said that the engine was too powerful for the cheaper alternative exhaust.
Has anyone had their exhaust replaced and if so, have you had a square one put on, or a round one? Obviously if i can help it i dont want a renault part as that'l bump the cost sky high.
This has really pissed me off, gota take it back tomorrow and the guy is going to fit a more expensive one, but i dont hold out much hope, hes really bodged the join with metal bits haning out to fill the gap. He keeps saying let it carbon out but its never going to quieten that much.
Never go for the cheapest!
