Just put a deposit on a 172!

As above. the only problem is that it has a stainless exhaust which gets really boomy at about 3k. Is there anything I can do to quiten it (silencer maybe). I was thinking of a decat so maybe get it done at the same time as this.

nice one mate when you pick it up??? boomy is good aint it lol

mark 1 or 2 ??

You want it quieter and youre considering a decat?

 

[len_beach]

Thought that maybe a contradiction in terms. It is just really boomy at about 3k but it disappears again after that. Is this the same on all?

2nd one down. Sods law the top one springs up with less miles and for ?5 less. Neer mind.

What do you reckon?

Mines is decatted and motorway driving can get a bit tiresome, 3.5k ish for 70ish MPH.

You could try a silenced mid section and backbox but having the decat would negate that.

I spoke to the owners girlfriend and she said it had a silencer on the mid section but I wasnt so sure. It may need re-hanging.

did you thrash out a guid deal?

 

[len_beach]

Its all subject to an inspection so I will see what that throws up. I dont really expect to get more than a couple of hundered quid off it though as apart from a scuffed alloy and wing mirrors, its pretty much faultless. I hope.

Is it an import as it says additional alarm in the advert UK cars come with an alarm as standard

If its an import it wouldnt have locking wheel nuts either unless the previous owner has fitted some since purchase
