Had to replace my exhaust... as it fell off!

[HeatherRS]

As above, my exhaust fell off the other day, leaving me with a bit of a problem.
To fix it asap i searched high and low for a standard back box for a 172, and due to my friend working in Qwikfit , I managed to get one reasonably cheap...Although, now ive found that this new back box has made my car incredibly loud!
Has anyone else found this with pattern parts?
It was only meant to be temporary until i could afford a proper full system!

yep the patern parts that kwik-fit sell are pish and most of them are a mare to fit right. allthough the fitter is told just to whack it up asap rather then to make sure its a perfect fit

worked for the robbing twunts for 3 years till may when i decided to grab my tool box and drag it 2 miles home. had a slight disagreement with a collegue to say the least
