He said its the original exhaust, if it is then happy days.........but he then said the exhaust assembly from Cat through to the back box is in one piece !! Was he right, or talking nonsence......I find it a little hard to find, but open to be wrong !
I then asked the 64000 dollar question, Ok, how much for Cat and everything back........ £450 !! I nearly fell over.....
Whats your thoughts ?

If you need a new Cat converter, and the rest of the system is 11 years old, £450 is not that bad for a complete system, fitted. It's easy enough to cut the original system with a set of chain cutters, but given the age of the system, and the Cat probably disintergrating, you'll more than likely be back within a month having to pay an extra fitting charge to replace the rest anyway IMHO.
I wouldn't have thought £350 for a stainless system would include the Cat.
