[.Stevo.C.]

New exhaust time.

 

[Stephie_]

How the?!?

 

[Andy_con]

how much am i going to get rapped for that?

 

[Andy_con]

How the?!?

some c**t in a white ford connect rammed my car

 

[Stephie_]

Oh daymn.
.
Just get a new one ?

 

[Andy_con]

just get a new one with no money!

how much and what are my exhaust options?

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Is that still the standard exhaust that's fitted?

 

[Stephie_]

Lol sorry
I would offer you mine, but I have. 1.4 standard exhaust.
And you have a sport?

 

[Andy_con]

Is that still the standard exhaust that's fitted?

sure is

 

[lokqust]

I had a full stainless KTR Ultra that I liked at the time for roughly £380. You will easily get something cheaper in the for sale section or ebay.

 

[guysy]

Go to an exhaust place and get them to weld it together?

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Yeah keep an eye out for a K-tec or something along those lines on the for sale section as the standard system isn't worth repairing.

 

[Stephie_]

Does the Two parts that have broken meet??
If they do, Get someone to weld it together?
If not. Go on eBay, find a stainless steel tube, literally like an inch or something, probably like £2?
An cut down the two ends till you can squeeze the extra part of tube in an then get Someone to Weald it together???

I cut the centre silencer out of my ktec exhaust an welded in the tubing.

I'm thinking cheap!!! Haha


(weld? Weald? Can't spell lol)

 

[Andy_con]

if its fixable for the moment then that would be good, give me some time to get some oney together.

i do not want to decat but what "sport" systems are out there?

[Andy_con]

I had the EXACT same fracture ona customers car when I picked them up from the airport-

you CAN get away with a new centre section- if you dont want to spend a great deal

theres one on ebay currently- it is sometimes a gamble buying second had though as they normally fall to bits inside at around 45k....

[DaveDreads]

If I was you i'd see if you can get it welded together on the cheap while you get some money together,
you need the car to work while you weigh your options on a new exhaust.

 

[Nick r26r]

Just get it welded up ! Cheaper than buying a new exhaust , if you go to a exhaust place who builds them
They will sort it for you , may have to add a bit in , doesn't look that bad from the photos

 

[Andy_con]

thanks

ive never had to replace an exhasut how do you know whats good and whats bad?

I have bills from the previous owner, and my middle silencer doesn't look OEM, so id take it to a exhaust place and possibly get a new silencer fitted or price on up.

The exhaust you've linked i think are made by toyo sport, i asked for a name and that's all i found on on here, i don't think they are highly rated, one person said his mate bought a cat by toyo and it didn't fit what so ever (that's if the exhaust you've linked IS toyo sports).

 

[robbygraham]

if a van hit your car, claim against its insurance

 

[Dan519]

you can get a genuine center section for a sensible cost. It's the rear section on a 182 thats daft money

 

[clancy]

weld it or get a second hand center section from ebay or here

 

[Dan519]

£204.31 for the center section
£25.09 for the joiner clamp

 

[Andy_con]

rubbish, just got back from the garage, yes we can temporary repair it today but it will probably only last two weeks.

you need a new exhaust.

the current one has a small amount of damage from the ford connect so i might as well get a complete new system

 

[ND04]

I would be getting the person in the ford connect to pay if they damaged it did you not get there insurance detail's.

 

[guysy]

Bad luck mate, im going to be getting the RS192 i think, a few on here have it and like it,

Its not the platinum standard of exhausts but i think it sounds good in a few videos so might go for it around or after xmas.

Thats a rip off of the Scorpion imola system. If you want a cheap one fit a sportex but it'll probably be very loud going by what sportex exhausts are usually like

 

[Brett]

Get the guy in the connect to pay for it. Simples.

 

[EllD90]

Guess you haven't seen his epic CCTV thread?

 

[aldo_87]

bang for buck, the RS192 would be, and was, my choice! Group buy on here for £299! Bargain IMO!

 

[Luke.]

get it welded, will see you through till you can save for a new one, it probably was damaged when it was smashed and then when it got hot just snapped off, I had this happen on my 182 and I paid my local garage a tenner and he welded it up for me and it lasted a long while after until I got an aftermarket one

 

[si_hartlepool]

This!!

+1

and epic?! ;-)

Did'nt realise it was your's that was hit by the idiot that just drove away,see if you can get it welded for now till you can aford a new one.
